Dear [Kandi],
Hi. All is well, except the wrist that is. I have an appointment with an orthopedic specialist tomorrow morning. Hopefully, he’ll give me some answers then so I can get it healed quickly. No, it’s not feeling any better. They suggested I take big doses of Motrin three times a day. I did that for a week, and the wrist did feel a bit better. At least at first. However, my body was getting used to the Motrin as eventually, it no longer relieved the pain at the dosage prescribed. Also, I worried about what all that medicine was doing to my kidneys, liver, and other organs. So I decided to stop taking it since it really wasn’t working anyhow. Well, we’ll just have to see what they say tomorrow.
Yes, I remember the first-day-of-the-new-term-jitters quite well. I had them especially strongly on the first day of my first term in college. Ah but it gets easier each term you do it, as you gain more confidence in your abilities to handle anything they throw at you.
As far as exciting happenings goes: Yes, I’ve begun talking with a lady from New York City. She has seen my pictures and wants to get to know me. She’s an LPN at a hospital in Brooklyn. Sweet and sophisticated she is. However, I have not yet seen her pics. I’m not sure she and I match well, because she wants to have children immediately, whereas I do not want them at all. Also, she is married, and even though she’s legally separated, I don’t relish involving myself in that sort of situation, particularly since her husband still comes around (they have one child together), and stays at her apartment several nights a week.
She says there’s nothing going on between them, and I believe her. But the fact that they share that bond (their son) seems a bit daunting to me. The thought of having to share my lady with another man, even in the decidedly innocent venture of raising a child, scares me. I never liked sharing my sweeties. 
I don’t know. I just don’t’ get a good feeling about it as of yet. Perhaps more time on the phone with her will help solidify my interest.
Well, enjoy your new term. Good luck. Study hard. Score high. And, as time permits, write soon.
Later,
Tom
