Day 62 - Letter Home

Dear Ma:

Things are going well here at Bards College.  I'm excelling very well in my classes.  I play the lute almost as well as any of the other students and even Professor Ateia can find no fault in my work, though you can tell that she still holds Aia as her favorite.


We have our first recital tomorrow.  I will be singing a new song, named The Age of Oppression, which Professor Germane taught me.  I also have a part in our class sketch – a bit part but it's something.  We've been practicing non-stop for the last month and had our final rehearsal last night.

The Headmaster and all of the teachers watch it and at the end, they applauded and cheered us on.  I overheard Viarmo tell the teachers as the filed from the room that this will be the best recital yet.  I'm hoping that he's right and not just saying that to bolster our spirits.

Please do not feel bad that you cannot attend.  It's too far for you and Pa to travel and I know you can't be away from your weaving for too long.  I promise to write again in a couple days and tell you how it went.

Otherwise, life around here has been pretty boring.  I go to my classes, eat rehearse, and then fall into bed.   I look forward to the day this show will be over and we can get back to our normal life.

All my love to you all,

Patrycia
