Good things to mention...
1. School is going good. Was taking accelerated courses and keeping a 4.0, but decided to slow down, take it easy. I'm not as crammed and I'm learning a lot more, which is good.
2. My back has stopped hurting, but I'm not off meds yet. Three more days and I'll be able to try some activity... see if I can get myself ready for full duty in this next week and a half. I need to get back into the gym so bad.
3. The one thing that was really getting me down about not going on deployment was the fact that I wouldn't get to spend the next seven months with the Female Engagement Team. With all the attention it gets with Public Media, I'm glad to be a little removed, to be honest. I've been able to hang out with them as just another 20-something-year-old and not Public Affairs and I've had a lot more fun around them. If I could weasel my way on as a permanent member, I'd reenlist. I seriously wouldn't trust my life around another group as much as I do the FET. I had a good day with them yesterday... that's the good part of this one.
4. I organized my room... always a feat.
5. I had internet installed in the room, something I was putting off because of the deployment and it was just something to save money on. Everything is now synced and working seamlessly and I just... love being in my room like I used to. After working and being around people all day, I don't mind being by myself at all.
