Dear Lourdes Employee,
Holy cow! I didn't think someone could be so happy to see me when all I was doing was turning in paperwork. I've also never had someone be so nice to me over simple paperwork. You introduced yourself to me even (not that I remember your name, but still)!
I'm pretty sure that almost all of the people I've met at Lourdes have been like you, which makes me nervous. I'm used to the typical Owens attitude when it comes to college--treat them like they annoy you, talk down to them, then encourage them to leave as quickly as possible. I keep waiting for the initial kindness to wear off and people to start getting rude with me. So far, this has not been the case. It's pretty sad that I'm so pessimistic that I can't trust your genuine kindness.
Thanks, lady in the admissions office. I'm sure you're used to being constantly nice and polite, but I'm not used to having people be nice and polite to me. It's weird, but a good sort of weird. Don't expect me to get used to it.
Yours,
Confused-looking Student
