Hilary to Kathy, late June 1973, Arlington, VA Ah, Summer in Arlington. Hot, humid & delightful. I haven’t had much time to notice the weather really. I guess it will be the same in Williamsburg.
By the way – I KNOW I’ve mentioned one Peter. T – he wanted to go to U.VA. but was turned down and is now going to William & Mary. He is a good tennis player – if he’d play w/me I’d speak to him. I really don’t like him because he’s so neurotic. He was supposed to be crazy about me but never did anything about it. Anytime I talk to him he freaks out. Graduation Night he was BOMBED & we got along very well – he’s intelligent and fairly normal except that he can’t talk to females unless he’s BOMBED!! Which annoys me. However, as I said, he’ll be at old Bill & Mary too, so if he ever grows up I may enjoy his presence.
I have gotten so used to not reading this year that I haven’t read anything in EONS. To explain, because I had 4 Advanced Placement Courses, I must have been assigned at least 10 books a month to read. Because I never had time to read them I became adept at NOT reading them & still being able to discuss them in class. NOW I can’t read anything but I’m a great Bullshitter.
Graduation was no thrill – but the idea of never having to go back to W-L is. I’m glad you were spared the experience. By the end of the year I really LOATHED having to go there. I simply could not have withstood another year!!
I really don’t know what I want to study. I used to think it was languages but I gave that up. I guess it doesn’t matter for a while. They don’t require a decision until the end of your 2nd year. I can wait.
Well, rather than bore you with even lesser Trivia – I’ll end here – I did however, eat dinner at one interval while I was writing this letter & I mentioned my idea about your coming here to my parents. They seemed quite approving. They thought August was a ripe old time if you could make it. So do I. My mother even suggested that since you’ll probably re-enter the country through New York or Washington you could just come here before going to Texas and that would save ½ of your plane fare & my offer of $100 or however much is still good. SO TALK IT OVER< OK? Write soon,
Love,
Hil
