buildings and classrooms are. My dormitory is close so I walk to all my
classes. My roommate's name is Eric. He is from Los Angeles. We are
good friends now. He is quiet and doesn't make a lot of noise.
Sometimes Eric and I have dinner together. We don't see each other
much because our school programmes are really different. During the

some of your homemade chocolate cookies? Well, I have to go. Take care. Love, Jerry
