Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards, David.

I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.

Regards, David.

Day 1 - Did some mods time, for ole's time sake. Alone. Too creepy.

Day 2 - Tried the skylight room of the libe for studying. Discovered loud lamp that sounds like a bee and louder librarians who walk by.

Day 3 - Began my imprisonment in the dungeon, maybe for stealing cake from the graduation festivities. Began my Robin Hood-eque attempt to give cake away to the deprived board study-ers.

Day 4 - By this time, given away most of the cake finally and said good-bye to some graduating friends.

Day 5 - Got a friendly text that made my day! =)
Day 6 - Ran around the oval. Remembered how funny guys in pinstripe wrestling uniforms can be in 8-min arms.
Day 7 - Got paid for studying...all day.
Day 8 - Went to the mods in the morning. Still alone. Went back to the libe, aka Mastronardi room closely resembled a testing center where everyone was doing the same thing, at the same time. WEIRD.
Day 9 - Was uprooted and forced to relocated because of Memorial Day. Walked around the Oval.
Day 10 - Our infamous soprano has another talent for typing very loudly.
Day 11 - Quill and Scope reception; many delicious mini-desserts.
Day 12 - First year females were very excited for SATC movie outing to my dismay (and envy).
Day 13 - Spelling Bee: NumbNut?! And watched Maya Angelou's Convocation speech...and Rohan's speech.
Day 14 - PS's portrayal of the concert by our soprano cracked me up.
Day 15 - Grocery shopping with PS
Day 16 -
Day 17 -
Day 18 - Passo review aka reunion time.
Day 19 - Being detective for signatures.

Some one-sided conversations are just strange:

You all right, dude?

You like like you're in pain.

Are you getting a butt massage?

Hehehehehe.

Fakebook Generation?

Hint anyone?

First year with a really annoying LI/Brooklyn-ish accent having a convo with another first year while playing catch after exams.

FY1: It makes me nervous when you catch the ball.

FY2: Why?

FY1: Because, you know, I never saw so many erratic motions.
