I'm not sure how to start this. Or what to write. I'm not used to writing in a journal, really. But after visiting my mother and talking with her... Well, she suggested that I start writing my thoughts down. She thought it would be good for me. 

I'm not too sure if I agree with her just yet, though. But I promised her that I would try, so here we are.

I spent almost all day with her, just talking about everything that's happened. I told her about my training and my classes, and about my friends. It was nice getting to tell her about everything. It was nice to hear her voice, too.

I should take her a gift the next time I see her. 

I'll stop here for the evening. Writing in this is odd, but I'll try again soon.
