Blaess writes that she has been too preoccupied with working to write much. She writes about her thesis, and the research and reading she is undertaking, and that she's been learning Celtic. She hasn't complied with the instructions about the library and has been reading and borrowing books she shouldn't. She asks her parents to buy books in England for her and talks about the cost of it. She mentions the flea market which she found disappointing, and also the cold weather and new alerts. She reassures her parents that she does not do anything reckless and is being careful. Towards the end, she mentions fashion magazines she had been buying and inquires about her parents and their lives.
