A letter from Dec 09, 2024

Hello, I hope you're having a good day. It's night time right now. I am having the thesis defense presentation in two days. It's really odd, I haven't do anything about it. I'll make do, though. I finished teaching the semester last week. This week will be exam week for the students at school, I hope it won't be too bad grading their papers. It's really odd, there's this silence washing through me. I should start doing my presentation and study up. It's a little scary, it's sort of comforting. It finally comes to an end after a gruelling, mental-breaking 2 years. I think it'll hit when I get my diploma. Mom planned a new years stay at this resort, but we're staying at this camping area. I am excited. It's kind of fake camping, but I have never done it, it'll be fun. You're going to be 24, buddy. What the hell. I hope you know that it's not going to be scary. Tomorrow is just going to be like yesterday, and last month, there's not going to be drastic, scary change; it is just an age. Thread slowly, you can do it. You'll make it. Doan said in a phone call a few days ago that it will get easier as you age, you won't want to die like you did when you're 22 or 23. I'm hoping he's right. You don't have to be great, you can survive just living your live, do your work, it's all you need. I love you, take care my friend.
