I Love my Brother Will




Sorry for the lack of blog yesterday, this week is already proving to be incredibly stressful. I not only have large amounts of work in every one of my clases, I have at least two meetings/lectures everyday this whole week, and two final research papers that are looming. I also have a very difficult Jewish studies paper due on friday, even though we haven't received our last two papers yet. And, I have a book to read for Thursday for my readings in U.S. history class that neither the bookstore nor the library had in stock, so I had to order it on Amazon, and although I did "guaranteed one day shipping" it still hasn't gotten here...

Although I didn't receive my book yesterday, I did get a notification from the postal servce that I had a package. Among some magazines that my mom sent me (thanks Mom!), a delayed graduation card from an aunt of my father's, and a duplicate voter registration card (voter fraud, anyone?), I got a "Thinksgiving" card from my brother Will that he made at Konrad's Workshop, with the help of my cousin Cassie.

I really wish my webcam didn't do mirror imaging, but he stamped/drew some wonderful owls for me, and it made me miss my incredibly artistic brother. I guess it's kind of hard for me here because a lot of kids are either close enough to their families to visit them on the weekends, or they just dont' want to see their families, or a combination of the two.

This sweet card definitely made my day, and hopefully it will help my week be less stressful...

  1. It sounds like a stressful time over in Poughkipsie. I hope it passes soon. We miss you and can't wait to see you at Christmas. Duke will walk over and shake your hand (or slobber on it).

  2. I definitely remember being SO jealous of everyone that has family nearby. In fact, I'm still jealous of that! I just don't understand my friends that have family close and choose not to see them. I guess that we are the lucky ones that have great family (even though they are far away!)
