When I first heard about this assignment I really had no idea who I was going to write to. I only live about an hour away and talk to most of my family on a daily basis through texts, so I wasn’t really sure who I wanted to write. I ended up writing to my boyfriend who I don’t get to see or talk to as often as everyone else. It was a lot easier than I initially thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a really awkward letter full of me just rambling on about random stuff that has happened during these past few weeks, but it turned out a lot better, and easier than I thought.
After writing the letter, I found myself somewhat frustrated; that’s the best way I can describe it, but I wasn’t upset. I was just so excited for my boyfriend to read the letter, but I knew I was going to have to wait about a week for him to even get it. I didn’t want to ruin the surprise of me writing the letter either, but I felt so weird writing all this stuff down to tell him and then having to wait more than two minutes for him to read it and respond, but I still enjoyed it.

(And meanwhile, you’ll probably be checking in—but you don’t want to “scoop” the terrific letter you just wrote!)
