Hey, A,

Way to deny me the last word last spring.

Hope you had a great summer, survived your family only mildly scathed, didn’t get sunburned too many times, and only contracted poison ivy once or twice.

I wanted to let you know I did not, in fact, get attacked by sharks.Had a close call with a T-Rex on Isla Nublar.But I’m safe and sound and currently studying advanced calculus.

Thanks for the warm welcome back.Sorry I didn’t see your email until now.I was still recovering from a debilitating case of poison ivy (just kidding).

Really, I’ve been busy finding housing since my place for this year fell through.Found an apartment to share and I’m getting settled.I think my roommate is a little crazy, though—and not in a good way.

I’m glad you didn’t get a shark bite.

But now a Jurassic Park reference?I’m beginning to believe you spend all your time at the movies.

A

Hey, I read.It was a book first.And also, I’d like to point out: Takes one to know one.You’ve recognized every one of my references.

So… Don’t you think, after all this time, we should exchange names.
