Two months later, James and Penny are horse riding together.

"How is the secretarial course going Penny?"

"A lot more fun than serving coffee."

"Glad you find it fun, education is better when it's enjoyable. Another question, any more news from your friends in California?..."

Later that evening

Dear Sheldon.

Hello from Nebraska, I hope that you, Leonard and the rest of my Pasadena friends are doing well. I am now feeling like making contact with you again. I am living with my parents, I help out on the farm and I work at a coffee shop in town. You will be pleased to know that I am studying part-time at the community college, I am taking a secretarial course. I don't want to be serving food and drink to people for the rest of my life. I am not ready to come and visit you in California just yet but if you want to send me an email with all your news then that would be great.

Love from Penny.

Dear Penny

We were all so happy to finally hear from you at last, Leonard was in tears when I read out your email. We are glad that you are doing well back home in Nebraska and back studying. I have forwarded your email to everyone so they can send you their news.

We have a new neighbour in your old apartment, Bernadette lives there now, she has almost finished her Ph.D. Howard has a new girlfriend called Amy, she is a neurobiology Ph.D, we all like her. I am still doing Physics and Raj still can't talk to women.

your friend

Sheldon

Dear Penny

Thanks for the good luck wishes, I am feeling nervous for the the exam tomorrow. Leonard, Sheldon and Amy have all been a great help in getting me ready. They all think I will have no problem joining them in the Ph.D club tomorrow.

love from Bernadette

Dear Dr. Bernie

Congratulations, you have escaped from the Cheesecake Factory, good luck with the new job. Hopefully I won't be serving coffee to people for much longer, I am enjoying training to be a secretary.

Love from Penny
