My brother left for basic training this week. He will have no internet access for... a really long time it seems. (He was hazy on the details.) So I'm committed to writing him old fashioned letters. (Humorous that these "old fashioned letters" were the norm in my early life.) It is much harder than I thought it would be. I'm used to the instantaneous forms of communication; I feel like they don't require as many of the little details that constitute everyday life. Now I'm asking myself questions like, is it stupid to talk about this? Does he want to know about this? Am I being boring? Is that spelled correctly? Will he even be able to read my handwriting?! I feel like a handwritten letter has to be long to be worth the effort. And nothing I have to say seems interesting enough to add length so far.
Other than that, things are going pretty well! I went back to campus this week and enjoyed myself very much, although I didn't get as much time with people as I wanted. But really, I think I like this ability to go back to visit. It's novel.
It seems like writing a handwritten letters make you think very hard! It's definitely a different experience from writing emails I suppose...
