Life Changing Decision
Okay, so I've changed my mind a few times about what I want to do. Be a scientist, or a writer, or make anime. I go back and forth.
But one thing I'm doing. Hell, I've actually taken steps. Real steps, not just looking it up on the internet and saying I want to do it.
I'm going into the U.S. Marine Corps.
My older sister wants me to do airforce or navy (or not at all). She thinks I'm going to get myself killed. Or brainwashed. And that I won't be able to readjust to civilian life. I'm just like "I'm not adjusted now!"
It's hard to give someone a reason why I'm doing this. A reason that they will think is good enough, at any rate. Perhaps it's a sense of wanting to do something that means something. Or maybe I want a little structure. Or maybe I hope it will help me with self-discipline. Or it's the college. Or the self-confidence I could develope. Whatever the reasons, I'm doing this.
I took a small practice ASVAB and I got a 71. I got a perfect score on the english portion. It was the algebra that killed me. I don't remember how to solve the equations. But I can look that up. It's like riding a bike.
Now I have to start running. I have training sessions with the recruiter 4 days a week. This is going to suck at first.
