Dear Shirley:

Congratulations for getting to the end of the school year as well as you have, with good grades and good experiences. I didn’t know the year already ended (I don’t listen to news or read news, so it didn’t occur to me).

Are you still going to be in contact face to face with Dave and Andrew? Online/ phone contact? I think you already miss them. I think you already miss school…?

Thank you for the chemistry reminder: covalent bonds, ionic bonds, I remember well enough. Regarding “The sensory receptors bind to molecules within the air such as water vapor and the neurons that pick up these specific receptors send messages to the brain so the male silkworm moth can perceive the sound.” This is the thing that most people don’t realize: everything we see, hear, feel with our skin (temperature, pressure..), smell and taste, all goes through our brain, all is our perception. All is projection because it all gets processed in our brain before we interpret, evaluate and respond- or not- to sensory input.

I too prefer the forest to the desert. I dislike heat. What I fondly remember about the desert is the experience very early in the morning or in the evening, when it is not hot and there is nothing but stillness, silence. I am going to take my walk soon. No thunderstorm today.

Regarding what your special friend told you: ” “i love you most when you are laid-back, but i admire your hard work as well. you are always good enough.” That is priceless.

I hope you feel comfortable with taking advantage of his offer to spend time with him when you need company. That is, if you feel comfortable knowing that he would like to be your boyfriend. Is it a problem for you?

Till your next post, take good care of you.
