Johnny,
A shorter letter tonight, haven't really been up to anything today. Just hanging around, with that Sunday afternoon feeling - you know, when you can't be bothered to do anything but you're really bored? I've had one of those days. I've missed you today, missed being able to text you or talk to you. I really hope you're alright out there and everything is going to plan for you. I wish I was there.
You know, I was thinking about when we were on our first school placement. I was so nervous, so scared to be going out to actually teach! You seemed calm, natural, like it didn't worry you at all. I know you don't do stress (it's a good job one of us is so calm) and every time we met up for a cup of tea - after school or at the weekends - you made me feel better about the whole situation. I love the way you talk about teaching with such wide-eyed enthusiasm. The children you teach will be lucky to have you. I'm thankful every day that I met you. Seriously, for all the crap the last year threw at me, you were the one constant good thing in my life, and I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't met you. You've changed me, my life and my outlook on a lot of things. I love that we disagree about so many things - we have the best drunken conversations. I'm going to miss them. Anyway, enough soppiness!
I'm watching Troll Hunter, on your recommendation. It's...bizarre. But you've not led me astray yet. You have introduced me to many amazing movies and bands that are now amongst my favourites. You have great taste, in a lot of things. You're really one of a kind Johnny.
Like I said, it's Sunday night and I'm tired from doing nothing so I'll leave it there for now.
Love Kim Xxx
