Later:

Hii!

My audition was great! I am in the higher orchestra after all. At the end, my hands were freezing! I had not noticed how nervous I was. Apo is here. We will be going to Ohio on Tuesday. It's Friday. So 3 days till we leave. I am so excited! I will see my friend Emily, whom I have not seen for over a month. We might even camp out at her house!

Your friend,

Kitty
