distantstudybuddies (other correspondence students) about this because I like the diversion of talking about other stuff with them, but the truth is, I’m really thinking about the disease 24/7. I live it and breathe it. So do the people around me. That could be why my old friends have stopped coming to see me. They just can’t handle it anymore.
    I’ve read that I have a 60% chance of surviving this. That is supposed to make me optimistic. I try not to think about that other 40%, but it’s hard not to. One of the other patients at the cancer clinic pointed out that if a planeload of passengers were told they had a 60% chance of arriving safely at their destination, everyone would immediately bail. I wish I could bail from this disease.
    So, I’ve had surgery, I’ve had chemotherapy, but some of the tumor remains. I’ve now started radiation therapy. As you suggested, I’m trying not to let fear rule my life, but really, how can I not? I’m too young to die!!
    By the way, you also said in the last weekly forecast for Gemini that we should be agents of creativity. I definitely think I’ve been one for my Leo subjects. Each of them is really giving some serious (and not so serious) creative thought to horoscopes. The results have been interesting.
    Anyway, I’m sure you wish I hadn’t dumped all this on you, but now that I’ve communicated, I’m waiting for “greater understanding to come.”
    Your Gemini friend,
    Kaleigh

Subject: Confrontation

Yikes! Today’s horoscope said that the time was ripe for a confrontation! I sure hope it isn’t with Chris. I’m being very very careful about what I say to him today. Maybe I’ll go pick a fight with my dad, get the confrontation thing out of the way so I know it won’t happen with Chris.

Cosmicgirl, after having a major feud with my mom, I read my horoscope for today and was not too surprised that it said the time was ripe for a confrontation. Mind you, the time is always ripe for a confrontation with her. That’s the trouble with this distant learning thing. We’re both at home all the time. She works at home. I work at home. That’s way too much time together. Anyway, you can note another “hit” with the horoscope. And how are you tabulating all this data anyway?

blondie, I wish you hadn’t asked (about tabulating). It’s become a nightmare! I have all this wonderful data from you guys (and girl) (girls and guy? you still haven’t told me!), but I don’t know what to do with it. Each of you has been reporting when there is a “hit,” as you put it. That’s great, because that is what I set out to prove. But no one tells me when there is no hit. And I think I blew it when I suggested you do daily, weekly, monthly and yearly checks. That just makes it even more complicated! I guess I thought that I’d get better results that way. To be honest, right now I’m tired and I just feel like scrapping this whole project. Tell Mr. Selenski that I quit! Actually, that’s not quite true. I’m having fun hearing about each of your lives. I’m getting to know you better than I ever would have otherwise. (I was in need of some new friends.) I’d like you to keep the data coming in. I just don’t know what to do with it all.
    By the way, why are you a distant learner? If you don’t get along with your mom, wouldn’t you be better off at school?

Dear Mr. Selenski,
    About my science project. I have good news and bad news. First the good news. My Leo subjects are sending me lots of data, which records all their “hits.” (“Hit” is the word we’re using to indicate when a horoscope has come true in some way.) We’ve had some good
