"I'm from Texas, but don't worry" - Stanford-roommate letter

Howdy roommate! Katelyn is my name; I'm from Texas, but don't worry, I'm not your stereotypical Texan. I have lived in so many different parts of the country that I'm not really from anywhere; Texas is just my current address. Surprisingly, yes, I'm a vegetarian from the cattle state known for their BBQ ribs and sirloin steaks, so don't be startled when you find a surplus of vegetables and tofu in the fridge. However, I am an exquisite vegetarian chef from a family of omnivores, so if you're a meat eater, I'd be delighted to introduce you to some new dishes-you won't even realize they're meat-free!

Here's your forewarning: I'm an early riser. I don't believe in sleeping in. Why waste time? But if you prefer beauty sleep, there will be a fresh cup of coffee or tea (I like both!) for you when you wake up. Similarly most mornings you'll find me running, my main source of stress relief; feel free to join!

Generally, I'm fairly neat and extremely organized. Few things stress me out, but a mess will do the trick. However, the exceptions to this rule are the insomnious nights in which only creative construction will grant me rest. Sometimes simply writing will suffice, other times its sewing or painting that will cure my sleeplessness, but the messy of this are my inventions, so don't be frightened to find me at two in the morning innovating furniture or devices. I am constantly innovating every aspect of my life to attain efficiency and simplicity. On the bright side, our dorm will be the most decorated and accommodating room on campus!

This letter is only the tip of the iceberg; there is so much more about me I can't wait to show you, and this is just the beginning. An adventure awaits us both filled with late night discussions, new experiences, and memories to last a lifetime. Living with you will be a thrilling venture into the unfamiliar that I can't wait to experience. Excitement cannot even describe my feelings about rooming with you at Stanford-our new home!

it's good i like it. but i think the yes after surprisingly is unnecessary and maybe even the surprisingly. you are already suggesting they will be suprised by sayin startled right after so i feel it might be a little repetitive. good luck!

it'd be great if you could read mine as well! (the stanford supplements)
