Fall 2001 Correspondence From Eugene Tue, Oct 30, 2001 Re: Dad/Bob received a nice book I confess, it looked like something he would be into and you know I'm a strong supporter of such items. The wonderful presence of Phoebe had me in a generous mood last week which is currently being pushed aside by renewed feelings of academic based stress. Sounds like you had a nice weekend which is great, and I'm also glad to hear about the Nesika situation. I must get back to pondering residue interaction based conformation issues with Ribonuclease and Lysozyme, but I wish you a good day and thanks for the locks article. -Ben Fri, Oct 19, 2001 Re: a great weekend Hey mom, just wanted to touch base and thank you for all the checks, it sure is nice to get paid after being away from the work for so long and forgetting what had to happen for those fish to cross the dock. On the topic I received some stuff for the Nesika account at my address here, I asked US Bank to switch my address to lessen the burdens of a mail forwarding center you incure and I appreciate very much, but was not thinking of the Nesika account, if you want me to send it to you guys just say so, and I will try to get them sent to Newport in the future. I had a pretty brutal week over here, with great forsight I spent the weekend studing and recoving from illness, but I still had to break my 5-hour minimum sleep rule with two midterms on Wednesday followed my an essay due today and just as my head was coming out of the water this morning a biochemistry problem set pushed me back under until tomorrow. I wrote a pretty decent essay and sent the Calculus and Economics midterms home crying but fear my Biochemistry midterm on Wednesday, especially in light of the very exciting fact that Phoebe will be flying into PDX tomorrow night and will be with me for the next nine days! I think we might stay at the Mallory Friday night for old times sake. Anyway I am doing well, and am happy even if all I do is study hunched over at this desk with the light aunt Mary gave me illuminating some expressed form of rational pursuit, as I labor toward abstract ends that few in this institution share, my hands and arms becoming softer by the day and my skin the color of an Oregonian. Your wonderful parents sent me a sweet care package last week, even if it did include spray cheese. How are you? How is the book? How is dad? I hope all is well, take care, and learn, learn, learn.
