My brother, who is in his second year of University, got home today. He's kinda disappointed. He got a 92% on a Bio test, and if he had gotten a 95% or above, he woulda gotten a 4.0 GPA. As it is, we're still amazingly proud of him.

My brother may possibly be the only person in my family I actually talk to. I was closer to him than I was to my sister when I was little, so maybe that has something to do with it. He's a lot like me. We're both, technically, very smart people who could do very well. But neither of us ever really tried in school. We still both came home with Cs and Ds, even though we should have been getting As.

After a while it became a game for us. It made everyone who knew us kinda mad because of how we slacked off. Our parents would yell, our teachers sigh and shake their heads, our friends laugh. But we loved it. Niether of us were very fond of our older sister (only recently have all three of us gotten close), so it was a bonus that we were doing the exact opposite of her. She would actually try and was the top of her class. She was Miss Popular. We were the joksters and always laughing around. People loved our sister because she was as close as you could get to being the perfect daughter/student. People loved us cause we were always laughing and joking.

So I am proud of my brother. Cause I know last year he had trouble in university, because he was so used to slacking off. I'm proud that he stunned our parents and sister. They, who all eventually stopped bothering to encourage us and stopped looking at our grades and just expecting we would scrape by, were stunned. My sister, the perfect one, has never come close to getting a 4.0. That isn't saying she isn't a good student, she is. But my brother has always been smarter, even if he never bothered to show it. He's always been the family joke, even I wasn't teased as much as he was for being 'stupid'.

So yeah. I'm proud of him.

Thats all for today. Nothing to complain about really. Toble (my nickname for my bro, and no I won't say what his name is) is home and we spent the day hanging out.

God I miss him when he's away.
