October Dear Joe, I’m afraid this won’t be a
very cheerful letter because at the moment I’m feeling absolutely fed up. It’s
the usual story; this morning I had another quarrel with my mother. Well, to
tell you the truth, it wasn’t really a quarrel, because I just shut up and
didn’t say a word, which always angers her. Anyway, what happened was that she
came into my bedroom and started shouting at me because I had thrown my dress
over the chair instead of hanging it up properly. Well, she is right of course,
but on the other hand I’m so busy at the moment with exams and one thing and
another that I really haven’t got time to do everything right. I know I’m not
the world’s tidiest person, but it seems that at the moment I cannot do anything
right as far as she is concerned. Do you know what I mean Anyway, when I didn’t
reply, she really lost her temper and started going on about all sorts of
things, bringing up every single thing that I’ve done wrong in the last few
years. To listen to her, you’d think I was the laziest, the most selfish
and the most thoughtless person in the world, and I don’t know what else. I know
she doesn’t really mean it, and in her own funny way she is trying to do her
best for me. Anyway, as if all that wasn’t enough, my father
lost his temper with me at lunchtime, just because I asked him a perfectly
reasonable question. Honestly, Joe, it’s at times like this that I can hardly
wait to get away from home, find a place of my own, and start living my own life
in my own way. Sorry to sound so gloomy. I’ll write to you again
when I’m in a better mood. Please write to me when you have time. I always look
forward to your letters.
Love,
Anna
