Dear Maria,

I'm NOT HIPSTER. I don't wear triangles and stuff like that! And I don't blame your flatmates for not liking the amount of perfume you spray, it gets all musty in your room.

This Tom person sounds nice. I will have to meet him like you said. He sounds nice, from what you said on the phone, unless you're pulling my leg and trying to make a joke out of me like you used to, because that isn't nice. I always used to cry when I was on my own because of the stuff you did.

Mom was saying something about for my 18th birthday I can get a train ticket to come and visit you for a week during the break. Isn't that great? I've missed you since you left and I can see you again quite soon! Break is only 3 weeks away, and we can catch up again! If that's ok with you, I mean. I don't want to intrude on your 'Uni high life'.

Write back as SOON AS YOU CAN PLEASE OR I MIGHT EXPLODE WITH EXCITEMENT!

Fi.
