8/29/2025 7:21. Correspondence 14

Good evening, dear reader. This correspondence is coming straight from Winthrop University.  A portal in space opened, and when I stepped through, I ended up here. I.e.- I hopped in my car and after an hour arrived at this lovely place. My time at USC today was great. Two good classes and a very helpful extra help session for Mandarin. 

My drive was lovely. It felt like a little independent road trip, and I loved it. Got some air in my tires and a pit stop, and a super strange gas station. The highway was beautiful, and the tunes carried me well.

Now I'm here, and just got back from dinner. It's so nice seeing old friends and family faces. I am often alone and fairly guarded, but around these fine folks, I don't feel that way at all. Being at Winthrop, though, does make me realize how truly massive USC is. It's such a palpable difference. In the dinner hall alone, my companions spotted and talked to many they had seen and became friends with this week. At USC, I can go to dinner three nights in a row without seeing a soul I recognize. It is a weird feeling. 

And now a story from 321:

Once upon a time, there was a fish that was a cyborg. The cyborg had four boobs. And in those boobs were the four different elements ( like Avatar). Sometimes, though, the boobs turn into bananas (Like pastasiaum). The cybiorg fish with four boobs said, "I'm going to braid a penis in your hair" to John Cena. This happened on the set of Peacemaker while John Cena was in costume. Just kidding, it happened at a child's birthday party. John Cena then said, "When you want BBQ sauce but you're dyslexic, A1! A1!" Then the cyborg fish said, "I'm going to dig a hole in the ground and go to sleep for a million years. Good night, everybody!" He said it superfast and people could barely understand him before to started digging deep down. He was never heard of again.

Now I'm going to watch Superman. Yeah, I guess you could call me a punk rocker.

Goodnight everybody!
