Dear Mom & Dad,

Just a short one because I have a Psych blue book (big exam) tomorrow & have to study for it.

Had a swell time at "Llamie." Tim is awfully nice & really good looking too. We got along very well & both had fun, I think. They got here around one yesterday & the four of us went on a picnic. Leslie took her date out to dinner but I just had Tim to buffet supper in the dorm & I'm glad. A lot of the other kids ate in too & it was fun. The dance was really very nice. I wore my black formal & it was just right.

The boys left around 12 this A.M. Tim's ride had to get back early so we didn't go to church & they couldn't stay for dinner which was too bad. But they did come over this morning & we went to the C.I. before they left. All in all, I had a swell time & I think Tim enjoyed himself too.

I called American Airlines & it costs $14 one way, $25 2-way, to Syracuse. However, the only flight I could take, which left Springfield (November 24) at 4:04 & arrived Syracuse (no change in Albany) at 5:42, was booked up. They are going to call me if there is a cancellation but I doubt if there will be. Train is the next best bet & I will look into that this week. That will teach me to get going early.

Time to study - we have our rules test tomorrow evening. I'm going to try out for choir this evening. First class meeting tomorrow.

Love,
Liz

P.S.
Got a "1" (the highest possible) on my sculpture for art class. Almost went through the floor.
P.P.S. I wrote Müllers the other day. Carsten too.
