My dearest Essie,

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date-"

Oh forget it, I'm no Shakespeare and you know it. Remember when I fell asleep in our British Lit class and the teacher called on me to answer a question? I can't believe you tricked me into reciting this poem, I looked like a total idiot! I guess I can't be too mad about it because at least you felt so bad that you agreed to go on a date with me (even though I ended up covered in spaghetti sauce after).

We were going over this poem in class today and it reminded me of that time. I have to write a paper on it but I don't want to. I guess this is what I get for pushing a first year class to my 4th year, huh? I'll need to borrow your notes on this sonnet cause I really don't wanna do this.

Unequivocally thine,
Hoseok

P.S.: I think I'm getting better at this...right?
