Dear Patient Pal,

Sorry it took me an extra day to write back. We had an emergency situation last night. It’s a long story and I already had to write a report. Let’s just say that not everyone is here for space exploration. Some of these kids are here for sexploration.

Your random science fact doesn’t seem so random. Have you met someone you like in Atlanta? Is your co-worker giving you random facts because he likes you?

The space camp is ending right before the 4th so I should be able to catch a ride to Atlanta but the next day I’d need to leave for Camp Titus in Savannah. We have training before the campers come in. I think this year is the first and last year I’m going to do this whole camp thing. I’ve been looking into Vanderbuilt’s summer program for next year because I might start school early.

Are you still thinking about which college you’re going to choose? If you’re in Las Vegas, you can check out UNLV. With the way your letters are getting progressively longer, I’d say you could major in writing or English.

Don’t take that the wrong way, I like reading your letters no matter how short or lengthy they are. And yes, I’d like for you to stay in Smalltown, but I also want what’s best for you.

I’m not sure what I will bring back for Adah. All Zach wants are Jordans, but I’m not spending my money on shoes for him. He can buy them himself. My dad doesn’t want anything. As for my mom, she doesn’t like it when we buy her gifts. She says she just wants our love. Her birthday was yesterday, so I wrote her a letter telling her how much she means to me, how much I love her and stuff.  

As for you... I’ll see you next week.

Random science fact: Did you know swans mate for life? Most other birds only hook up for a season, raise the kids and then they bounce. But not swans. They’re in it forever and ever.

Your day one friend,

Jonah
