at long last, letters

[jaala]

This year, I had a plan. I was going to go out and see friends outside of scheduled extracurricular activities. I was going to keep in touch of my own accord, in preparation for the approaching time when I won't have university clubs to keep me company. But instead, I have been an absolutely terrible correspondent ever since May! Not healthy if you want to keep friends.

This lack of communication has really been brought to the fore in the past couple of days. I've added a couple picture feeds (courtesy of Google Gadgets) to my desktop and it had the unplanned side effect of reminding me about people I should contact. In order to procrastinate doing other things, I've been going through my email inbox and responding to neglected messages. It's really quite cathartic.

Here's hoping seeing that picture feed every time I log in will continue to act as a friendly reminder.
