Dear Kathryn

I am sitting here in 7th grade English, realizing how much time has passed since i was the one sitting there in those seats. It has been quite some time since I last remember being "schooled" in that sense of the word. During my free time this morning i read an article written by one of my STS professors on the lost art of letter writing and how technology has had an impact on written communication. How we always search for the easy way to say things, the short, quick, concise way to explain what we mean. It goes on to say how entire words and a rhetoric has been lost to simplification. So In reading that article i decided that i should write you a letter. Not just any letter but one that is devoid of "lol-s" , ASCII smiley faces, and the use of the letter "u" as an acceptable replacement for my favorite thing in the world, you.

This letter is much more then just a simple rant about STS theory, the ever changing world or, the simple fact that we are growing older ( but the simple fact is that we are) People say that life is getting easier, that computers and cellphones are making what was a chore a simple click of the mouse. As i have come to be amused by people trying to put a value on difficulty and stress. Yet i have come to my own realization with all the technology in the world, life is no easier.

It does bring a smile to my face though that a simple thing like a Christmas watch could make my life better. Today it has come in quite handy with the array of hall passes that i needed to fill out. The simple piece of time telling technology on my wrist has made me feel good about who i am, that i am grown up, and where i am going. so thank you.

The faces of the kids in this class have changed slightly from what I remember, the girls look more grown up and the boys well they are how i remember myself. How i wish that i could be a naive as they are. They have a new state exam in the coming weeks and they simply don't seem to understand the impact It will on the road ahead of them. On the other hand I am glad that i have lost the naivety they posses, so that i know what my thousands of dollars in debt and countless hours spent reading will get me. I know this may seem like a hopeless rant about nothing but i swear that i had a point when i began. I wanted to write you a letter one that could be remembered and not forgotten along with countless text messages we send everyday.

I know that our lives are filled with the fear of the unknown, and so my hope is that what we do know offers the little comfort that we need to smile every day. I know that looking out at all these kids that I in fact am getting old. That simply by the conversations that i have with my brother that I am a nerd. I know that by the warmth that i feel when I am in my chapter house, that i have found where i belong. I know that when I look into your eyes that I have found true love. Although we are getting old, i hope that we can continue to together.

Love
Ryan

Damn it has been awhile.... well i am back to school after a break that was well, interesting. The days we did have snow, it was some of the best east coast conditions that i have seen in a while, and all the other days that we didnt, well ya conditions were pretty bad. But now that i am back to school mother nature has seem to come to her senses, realizeing that it winter time.

Classes this semester are tough, but i think i am up for tha challange. Really ready to get started with rugby this season, should prove to be one of the best yet!

Hope everyone is doing well.

PEACE
