Love, Annie

Dear Sam,

The first thing I want to say is that I'm sorry this blog failed =[ I suppose it's weird for people to send me things to post here, and I've been too busy to do any journal entries at all. Thanks for making up for my lack of free time and posting your entries yourself, feel free to send em back to me, though! Now that I'm on summer break, all I do is work, so I have plenty of time for you =D

I miss you, a lot. I've realized since you left how important you are to me, and I just want you to know that I'm going to be so upset if you don't come back! And since I don't have Hobbes to hold hostage, I've taken Hobbes' girlfriend, so if you don't come back, the white tiger gets it!

Spring Quarter was super tough >< I had two creative writing classes (and we all know how much of a writer I am), a History/Religious Studies/English class (called Gods, Ghosts, and Grandparents... all of the writing with none of the fun), and Health Psychology (a recall based class that tests with short answer and fill in the blank, unlike any other psych class on campus). So with all that, on top of work, I just about wanted to shoot myself. I'm pretty sure I averaged two rockstars/monsters a day with my schedule, and still managed to fall asleep in my classes. ><

It's been a week since I've been out of school, I'm currently looking for a job/internship. I know I started a bit late in the game, but better late than never eh? At first I was convinced that all I wanted to do was sleep over the summer, but (as I'm sure you know), I suck at being idle. If I'm not doing something, I just go crazy... or eat. Neither of which I feel is beneficial to my health, ha.

Went to Pattie's grad party!!! It was a lot of fun to say the least :) I only got one picture of him though, but a glorious picture it is.

Anyways, have fun zeroing at Front Royal! Call me soon!

With all my love,

Annie Qi

PS: I LOVE CHALLAH

Love, Hobbes

Dear Sam,

     I miss you so much already!! Thank you for letting me stay with my friends at Annie's house. Calvin is awesome! He's the bestest friend I could ask for! Goofy is weird... he keeps "heuk"ing all the time. Do all Goofy's do that? Well, anyways, I'm obviously too nice to say anything to him, but I really wish he weren't so.... goofy. Ha!

     Annie took me to IHOP for National Pancake Day!! It was DELICIOUS! I had an ENTIRE pancake to myself! It was omnom-licious! There was orange juice and blueberry syrup and all the cool things! Annie takes me everywhere, and Courtney likes watching Netflix with me! We watched Supernatural together, and I didn't even get a bad dream last night! I'm gonna do so many cool things just like you! It's like I'm going on an adventure too!

     I hope you're having a great first day! Bye-bye!

Sincerely,

Hobbes

Introduction Post

Hello Sam! And all others!

This is the sister blog to Dear World, From Sam, where I update everybody about Sam's journey along the Appalachian Trail! This blog is where we all can keep Sam updated on our lives! Just because he's going to be gone for half a year doesn't mean he should miss out on everything that's going on! Let's keep him up to date with this blog by keeping a memoir of pictures, stories and moments in our lives where we wish he could be there with us! That way, when he gets back, he'll feel like he was right there with us.

There is only one way for this blog to work:

For those who wish to post, you must email me your post (EXACTLY how you wish for it to be seen) and I will simply copy and paste into this blog. You may include pictures, videos, and anything else you can think of. The blog will be updated twice a week, so please allow for a few days for me to post anything you email me.

I'm very sorry if this is not convenient. This account of mine contains many blogs, a lot of them personal. Otherwise, I would totally give all of you the password so you could do this yourself! I pinky promise that all emails I get are confidential and I will use them ONLY for the purpose of updating this blog.

Questions? Comments? My email address is aqi001@ucr.edu.

This is going to be great!
