this morning i did some overtime for work and took a students to the airport and returned keys for them. then i got gas, came home and my aunt who was going to pick up my mother called because my mom was not at the airport. i checked email to find out what was going on. she wrote to me about the fight with my brother and said that they had found his backpack at mos burger but she doesn't know his new email address. she also said that she won't be coming back for 1 more week. i just forwarded that email to my brother, hoping that he would see it or i would get in touch with him before he goes to tokyo. he needs to see my mom at least once, just to get his stuff.

in the late afternoon, we went to palo alto and got international student id cards and plane tickets to new zealand. damn, we're really going! so exciting but it's really hurting my wallet.
