Hi Anita,
I’ve got to tell you about what happened to me the other night. I was exhausted from
studying for a test and was fast asleep in my bed when, in the middle of the night, we
had a fire drill. (At the dorm, we have these fire drills from time to time.) Even though
the alarm was loud, my roommate Ling had to wake me up.
So we went downstairs and out of the building to wait for the drill to be over. Everyone
else from the dorm was outside, too. I was so tired, and I really wasn’t paying attention.
The next thing I knew, everyone was laughing hysterically. I didn’t know what they
were laughing about.
To make a long story short, I had gone downstairs wearing my pajamas with little pink
cats all over them. And the other thing was, I was carrying my teddy bear! I was so
embarrassed!
Write soon and tell me what you’re up to.
Love,
Your big (embarrassed) sister, Marina
