Dear Robbie,
It's weird to think that I've never been apart from you this long. Definitely never been this far away from you, but I've never been this far away from home in my life so that's not saying much.
I'm trying hard not to hate it here, but it sucks and I miss you and everything hurts. Like you know how amputees have phantom pains when they have their hands or legs cut off? It's like that.
I know you miss me and I'm so sorry. I try not to think about it, though it's hard not to in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping and I can't. I do a little because I just get so tired, but mostly I just stare at the ceiling. Julieta (that's my roommate) tosses and turns a lot, so I guess she's having trouble sleeping too.
Julieta is from Spain, and she's rich and famous, or just about. I guess she was a gymnast, but her power is called 'muscle memory', which means she can copy other people's movements perfectly. Something like that, but anyway, not good if you're an athlete, which sucks for her. I think there are a few people like that here, people who had careers that got totally messed up because of being a Vol.
But there are other people who had not really nice lives before coming here, too, so they're kind of happy to be here. I guess I can understand that. It's way nicer here, in a way, than Piscataquis County. It's really ugly, but the food is good and they gave us super nice computers. It was nice to see you on the video chat last night, even if you weren't really awake.
I don't know if this letter-writing thing is such a good idea. It just makes me want to cry and I already did enough of that tonight.
