In Class Writing Assignment

Dear Best Friend,
We had a long weekend due to Labor day which was much needed. On Friday afternoon, I received a bid to the Fraternity of my choice, Alpha Tau Omega which everyone here calls ATO. When I got the bid I was so excited, right away I headed down to the ATO house and signed my bid card which meant I was officially starting rush. The same night I headed over to Mike and Patch's house up on Twelth Street, this is the party where I told you I had to run from the police! I was outside when the cops showed up, there was like two or three cars full of them. They came up and asked me if I was the home owner and I said no and tried to make my way back up the steps into the house but its turns out THEY LOCKED ME OUT! At that point, I thought for sure I was going to be arrested or at least given a citation which would have been just as bad. I pounded on the door but they wouldn't let me in because if they opened the door then the cops would have been able to go in as well, so I kind of can't blame them. I ended up waiting till the cops walked back to the front lawn at which point I climbed over the back fence, ran down a small hill then jumped down a ten foot wall into a parking lot. At this point, my heart was pounding and I felt like Jason Bourne on a get away. I ended up making my way back to my dorm room and fell right to sleep, after that the rest of the weekend seemed pretty lame. I didn't do too much until Boomsday, which actually wasn't all that it cracked up to be. Besides that, my weekend wasn't to special.


Dear Grandma,
Tennessee has been a blast so far; thank you for the care package you sent me, it was great! So far classes haven't been too hard which is nice, I have been to the library a couple times to get some homework done. The first football game was kind of a let down, we lost in overtime to UCLA who we should have definitely beat! I have been thinking a lot about the family and how everyone is doing up there in Cincinnati, I heard the Bearcats are off to a good start which is great news. Hopefully the Bengals can do something this year, that would be a change! I miss our trips to Skyline and Frisch's alot, I am already getting tired of all the junk food that I eat down here. I hope everything is going well with everyone up there, I should be back sometime in the begining of October for a couple days or so. I miss you all.

Love,
Tyler
