Dear Delphine,
I am so sorry it's taken so long to reply! I hope you got my postcard so you know what's going on, but I know those things are unreliable so I'll tell you, just in case. I was in Minnesota visiting family for the holidays. It was fucking cold, man. I missed the San Fran sunshine, even if it gets hella windy here.
Anyway, I'm so glad you liked the movie! It's my fav! I'm glad I could help cheer you up, you deserve to be happy. I wish I could see you smile, I bet you have a gorgeous smile. Anyway, uh, now it's your turn to recommend a movie for me to watch! We'll make this a thing, it'll be fun.
Awesome! Yeah I'm still waiting to hear back too, but I'm hella nervous. I applied for so many schools because I'm afraid I won't get accepted anywhere!
Oh, yeah, Sarah's a bit of a wild card. She's very unpredictable. And yes, that does involve her punching people sometimes. But it's nice of her. I really appreciate it. We all look out for each other. Aw, don't say that. I'm nothing special, I'm just some geeky girl, not charming or funny really. Just me. Ah, but my friends would love you! So French and exotic and smart, they'd all be smitten. Ooh, a trip to San Francisco, you say? As you wish. I will plan the perfect, most tourist-activity-filled day ever! It'll be great.
Aw, thanks! I have an appointment with the optometrist next week, so maybe I'll get some new specs then! But I still stand by what I said before, I think you'd look killer in glasses! Damn, the secret's out, I'm not naturally charming. I try really hard, especially with people I like. Not sure if the charm actually works though, we're still testing that.
ANYWAY, back to what I was talking about before, I went to visit family for Christmas! It was super fun and I went sledding with my cousins a lot. And my parents got me a new laptop! They said it's because I'll be starting college soon, but I'm still really excited to use it. I did not know they made scarves with DNA double helixes on them. I love it! It's super cute. I'm wearing it right now. My neck is sweating but it's worth it. Thank you so much! But now I feel like an asshole because I didn't think to get you anything. I'm sorry! When is your birthday? I'll get you something for your birthday. So how was your Christmas? Did you do anything fun? Get anything cool? Did it snow? Again, I'm so sorry about how long it took for me to write! I hope you'll forgive me, and I promise my next letter will come much more quickly!
Best wishes,
Cosima Niehaus
