Hi, Ernesto!
In your e-mail message, you asked me: “What do I do every day?"
Well, I'm a student at the University of Michigan. I really like my classes. I study computer science and Chinese.
I go to school around 8:00 in the morning on weekdays. Around noon, I have lunch with some classmates. On
Mondays and Fridays, I work out in the gym before my classes. And in the late afternoon, on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, my friend Daniel and I have part-time jobs. We work in the school cafeteria. And I study in the library
every weeknight until about 2:00 A.M. I'm a full-time student, and I don't have time to watch TV.
And what do you do? Send me another e-mail, please!
Your new e-friend,

Hi Stephanie!
■ e
How have you been? What have you done in the past year7 Sorry i haven't written in a long
time. It’s been a crazy year.
I’ve been pretty busy. I was bored with my job, and my life was going nowhere. I had no
real career and no boyfriend! I knew I needed to make some changes.
First, I found a new job. I now work for a travel agency. I love it, but it’s a lot more stressful
than my old job. I just got a raise, though.
Also, I told my friend Jar kie that I wanted to go out, so last fall she and I went out more.
Then last December she arranged a date between Patrick and me. Patrick is a student,
and he hopes to graduate in the summer. Guess what? We're engaged now! Surprised?
Patrick and I plan to get married next year. Then we hope to travel around Mexico for our
honeymoon. We're very happy!
Looking forward to hearing all your news.
Nicole
