I'm sorry you missed the parties. I remember feeling like that -- feeling regret for having missed parties due to my own neglect or having had forgotten something that was needed in order to go.

But just think -- you'll be CLEAR HEADED for your Chemistry exam! You won't be all hung over, and feeling crummy from little sleep. That's a BIG plus. Your school work is worth more than some silly party. You may not think so right now, but later you will.

There will be plenty of parties later on that you CAN go to -- so this isn't the only one. I'm sure there will be parties right before Christmas break, etc. So don't worry. You'll have more opportunities.

Take care and I hope you did well on your Chemistry exam. God bless. Hugs, Lee
