Mira

Mira was always better at writing than I was. Here's what I remember.
I met Mira during my second year at CTD. Met, being the operative word here since I didn't really talk to her much. She was in my Bio class and I saw her a few times. After CTD ended, I looked through my scraps of paper memories and found a scrawled email address: betd@aol.com.
Not knowing anyone close to a " bet", I decided to investigate. I wrote a little email out and got back one line. "HEY KIP, IT"S MIRA HOW ARE YOU" etc etc... We didn't email much since caps kill conversation (that's a public service tip out there) But I knew she was around.
My third year at CTD, wow, what a trip. I was rooming with Jason but it was only the two of us. We felt cool.
That first day, we went looking around Willard for people we knew. And one of the people we ran into was Mira. So we spent some time with her and her friends and it was strange. I didn't make the conscious decision to spend almost the rest of my time there with her but it ended up that way. And I can't think of anyone else that I've bonded so well with in so short a time.
I went through a lot that summer. Had my first girlfriend, Shannen (that should be a story). Only after being rejected by Shannen's hot Asian roommate and having a breakdown with Amit. Went through the weirdness that was Jason and Amit competing for Mira's affections and then the Jason Niquole thing. And Mira was with me the whole time. And I was there for her.
Of course we kept in touch. I called her the next day to tell her how much I missed her. And I did miss her. As she told you, we called, emailed, wrote a few paper letters. But I didn't see her for another two years. But that was OK.
