Hilary to Kathy, May 22, 1972, Arlington, VA cont. Shauna is going to graduate next year by taking 2 history and 2 english courses and going to summer school. Counselors say that colleges really love that – they think you have initiative. I would like very much to do that ‘cause I know W-L isn’t benefiting me very much at all. It’s a drag and a hassle –even the social aspect is going down. But I (again) am wracked with guilt at the thought of wanting to leave home early. My mother gets upset at the thought of her baby leaving home. I know she’s glad that Alex stayed home this year. I also wonder if I could hack living away from home in less than 2 years.
Enough dull boring stories…….Glad to hear about your social success! Sounds like a wild group & pardon me if the names crack me up. Kriton & Friend. That really is pretty funny.
I feel like an outcast. Not really, it’s just that all my friends are nice but dull or apathetic. That leads to a dull social life. I know all sorts of sweet guys that I like but I’d never go out with. The real honeys are either bores or heads or have complexes. And how about being wild for your old boyfriends best friend? THAT is a hassle.
And then one finds out that several of her good friends are on the PILL and they want to talk about it. I don’t mind them being on the Pill but I feel left out in the conversations/ that’s what one gets for being a 16 yr. Old hag.
I don’t know why I burden you with such dreadful tales of woe. I guess I am more unhappy than I had realized. Mainly it’s because I had a rotten weekend. It rained the whole time and we had planned to go to Chincoteague where the R’s have a house. Also I wanted to go to Philadelphia Friday & Saturday to see a crew race but decided to go to Chincoteague instead. Ha ha ha
A summer trip to Chincoteague. 
Also, the impending summer promises no thrill. I don’t really want to go to summer school again, I don’t want to go to California either and I can’t find a job. And if I don’t get my license soon I am going to croak. The trip for Greece is still on but I cam’t decide whether to be thrilled or not. I can’t see going anywhere with a bunch of Greek Americans (RELATIVES no less!!!) although the thought of getting shots & passport pictures & all the other fun things involved in taking a trip is/are very appealing.
