Dear Alex,
I hope you're doing well and enjoying your summer break. It's been a while since we last
caught up, and I thought I'd take this opportunity to fill you in on what I've been up to lately.
Firstly, I wanted to share some exciting news. I recently got accepted into my dream
university! I'll be starting my undergraduate studies in English Literature this September. I
can't even begin to express how thrilled I am about this new chapter in my life. I know
you've always been supportive of my academic goals, so I wanted to share this milestone
with you.
Speaking of milestones, remember that art project I mentioned to you a few months ago?
Well, I finally completed it, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I used a
combination of watercolors and acrylics to create a vibrant and abstract piece. I'd love to
show it to you in person someday.
On a different note, I recently watched a thought-provoking documentary about climate
change. It really opened my eyes to the urgency of environmental issues and the need for
collective action. It made me reflect on our own habits and how we can contribute to a
sustainable future. Let's try to be more mindful of our actions and explore ways to reduce
our carbon footprint.
I'd love to hear about your own adventures and experiences over the summer. Have you
been traveling or exploring any new hobbies? Let's plan a meetup soon and catch up
properly. I miss our conversations and laughter.
Take care, Alex, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Warmest regards,
Emily
