Sorry I haven’t been in touch for such a long time but I’ve had exams so I’ve been studying every free minute.

Helga ……… ... Helga, I’ve been meaning to write to you for ages now so don’t worry! How did your exams go? When will you know your results? I’m sure you did brilliantly as always! As for me, I’ll have been in the new job three months by the end of next week so I’m feeling more settled in. At first I felt like I had no idea what I was doing but now I realise it’s normal to feel like that. There was a lot to learn – there still is actually – and I soon had to get used to the idea that I can’t know everything. I used to work late a lot and at weekends but I’m slowly getting into a normal routine. Which means I’d love to come and visit! We really need a good catch up! I can’t believe we haven’t seen each other since Carl’s wedding. How does next month sound? Anyway, I’d better get back to work. Congratulations on the new flat! ... Love, Linda
