Dear Jacob,
I'm writing this in a formal letter, becuase I find it apt after my IB cording ceremony today and the last day of school - sigh, so many yearbooks to sign. Anyhow, I am utterly, completely devestated that we won't be "chillin'" together at Harvard. Yet, there's a part of me that believes you made the right choice, that somewhere in the sands of California, you will find what every American during the Great Depression sought: menial labor. No, seriously, I remember thinking when I was walking back up with you to Harvard Square (it's really a triangle... damn pompous Hahvahd thinks they can change a triangle into a square?!) that if I were faced with that decision to go to Harvard or Deep Springs and I chose Harvard, I would have always wondered not what academic opportunities I missed, but what opportunities to define my existence as a human being I would have missed. In that respect, I'm incredibly envious. I think you made the right decision, Jacob - even if that means that I won't see you for a long time, I am extremely happy for you.

PS... just out of curiousity, how are you going to survive in a place where they don't take bathes when you freaked out over a hair on the soap at tasp and went out and bought your own? heh...you need to keep us posted on your adventures at deep springs.
