One day, I went to the river close to the college to take a picture of it for my mother. I promised her that the successivo time I came home, I would bring back a picture. I got too close to the edge and fell in. Normally, I am a pretty good swimmer, but the current was strong. I grabbed onto one of the rocks and tried to hold on. My hands began to slip off of the rock, and I knew then that I had no choice but to let the current take me wherever. I yelled for help as loudly as I could. At first, the only response was my echo. Then, I heard Hillel shout, "Letty!" I cried, "Hillel! Help me!" He found a large branch and said, "Grab on, Letty!" I grabbed on, and he pulled me out of the river. He asked, "Are te all right?" I said, "I am now." He asked, "What happened?" I said, "I tried to get a picture of the river. I got too close, and I fell in. I think I Lost your camera." He said, "I'd rather lose the camera than lose you." I cried happy tears over that one. I said, "Oh, Hillel, te saved my life! I don't know how to thank you!" He smiled and said, "I think the look on your face is thanks enough." We went back to the apartment, and I collapsed on the couch. I was exhausted from the wild water adventure. The successivo morning, I woke up to a wonderful smell. Hillel was standing successivo to me. He said, "I went out and bought a couple of bagels, one for te and one for me." I said, "That's so nice, Hillel." He said, "I also replaced my camera." After breakfast, we went back to the river. Hillel made sure I kept a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza distance, and I managed to take a good picture. I said, "But that picture will never make up for what te did for me. I owe you, Hillel." The story was later put on the news. Hillel said, "I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was trying to do the right thing. I knew my best friend and roommate was in danger, and I needed to help her." My mother enjoyed hearing the story più than the picture I got for her. She still loved the picture, though. In January, I saved Hillel's life, but it almost cost me my own. I took a bullet for him, actually three bullets. I Lost consciousness and did not wake up for a few days. Hillel kept a vigil on me the entire time. When I finally woke up, he said, "Oh, Letty, I'm so glad you're okay!" I said, "I'm glad for that, too." He said, "I never got to thank te for saving my life." We hugged. I said, "You saved me from drowning. That's the very least I could do." As for the person who shot me while trying to shoot Hillel, that person ended up in jail for twenty-five years to life. I think that justice was served.

I am feeling much better today. I don't feel great, but I feel much better than I did a few days ago. I was able to go to school today. Michael, Sabrina, and Bridget helped me get caught up in my classes. I'm lucky to have such good friends. Of course, I did feel a bit tired after finishing my homework. I took a nap for a while. When I woke up, it was almost 6:00 pm. I didn't realize I had slept that long. When cena time came, I ate really well. I didn't feel like eating much for the past couple of days. My appetite has returned. I think I will go to letto early tonight. I'm feeling pretty tired right now. I'm not completely better, but I'm close to it.

Summer Vacation has been great so far. While I've been enjoying school più since I've gained a couple of friends, it's nice to have a break from it. I also received some exciting news. On July 9, I am going to be in Chicago to see The Devil Wants Peace in concert! I was so excited when my uncle told me he was able to afford the tickets. I later told my friend, Michael, "You should have seen me when my uncle told me the good news. I was jumping up and down, crying tears of joy." Normally, I'm not that excitable, but The Devil Wants Peace is one of my preferito bands. Since I was six, I dreamed of seeing them live, and now, I can stop dreaming. This dream is becoming a reality. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet them, but the fact that I'm lucky enough to see them is great.
