My brother is off to college
It's weird that he isn't around anymore. I wake up and expect to walk by his room and see him sitting on his bed, playing on his laptop, watching tv, but no, he's not there. It's strange to see an empty bed. I know he's fine at RIT and that he'll do well (he better or my parents might just wring his neck with how much they are paying) but it's still strange. I wonder if it felt strange to him when I was off to college? I'm fine, I mean I miss him, but I'm handling it okay. I think mom and dad are too. Maybe it's not as much a shock since they've already been through it with me. It's just weird that now it's three of us instead of four. But, he's not that far away, and plans to come home a few weekends have already been made. So it's like me all over again. I went out to school, but still made trips home. I just have to get used to having an empty house during the day.
