"Dear Fosse:
Unconsciously, it's been almost a year since I came to Gonzaga University. I never expected we'd still be exchanging letters, with so much left to say to one another.
In your last letter, I read that you got the offer from the University of Portland. I'm truly happy for you. Our distance has shortened a bit, with only an hour's flight from Portland to Spokane.
This summer, I don't plan to return to San Francisco. Most of my time will be spent in Spokane, participating in the school's basketball training camp to prepare for the new season.
Looking back now, it was the right decision to follow Fitzgerald's and my father's advice not to play in my first year and instead focus on academics, striving to get my degree early.
Last week, I passed Professor Slattich's marketing course exam and earned enough credits. This means I only need to get 12 more credits next academic year to fulfill all the requirements for my degree, making me eligible for a bachelor's degree.
