i wrote a rather long letter to my brother today. i told him that there were things about me that i still haven't told him and that i hoped to tell him those things when i see him on the 15th. i sent him some quotes that will hopefully light a fire under his ass to get as much out of his experience as he can. writing the letter was very emotional. i cried for about 20 of the 30 minutes that it took me to write it. i think it will spark some emotion in him as well.

today has been a good day. i have a lot of work to get done tonight. i'm so busy these days. i need an extra day between thursday and friday.
