Spent the morning with my brother at home, and went to Jim's house while my brother had a chess lesson at 3pm. Jim, Ditha, and I sat around for a couple hours catching up after another quarter/semester away at school. Most of our group of friends are gone for spring break. Jim's niece was also at his house.

My mom is leaving tomorrow for a three week long trip to visit her family in china.

After countless hours outside trying, my brother has finally learned how to kickflip. Impressive. When I was in junior high, my friends and I worked pretty hard at it but never learned how.
