So, let's see. A real update? Not likely, since there really isn't anything going on that anyone would care about other than myself, haha. I did see a fight on the train on the way home last night after BDO. These two guys (friends, and completely drunk) were talking about how guy 1 put ice down guy 2's shirt, so guy 2 ripped two buttons off of guy 1's shirt. This all happened before getting on the train. What I witnessed was the ensuing argument, in which guy 1 got SO mad at 2 that he ran up to him, and TORE his polo off. THE funniest thing I've seen in ages. And I'm literally sitting three feet from the entire proceedings. They were so close to coming to blows that the train driver stopped the train to tell them to knock it off... which they did after awhile. About ten minutes later, the two guys were joking about how designer things are ripped anyway, and how guy 2 could say his polo was the newest collection of Ralph Lauren... And guy 1, in response, literally stood up, and tore his own shirt off by way of apology. I thanked them as they left, telling them they had made my night, so guy 2 shook my hand.
I had a rather disappointing day on Wednesday. It was just one of those days, you know? I just... I dunno. It's just really frustrating because it was really all my fault, and it's hard making up for your mistakes. I just happen to make up a LOT for them this time. Welcome to the United States Navy.
Tomorrow I'm going on a Veteran's Day Run, so I guess that'll be fun... unfortunately I have to wake up early AGAIN, haha. I'm going to be so good at waking up at unGodly hours, just you wait. And think, in... oh, 10 years, I'll be a vet. What's kind of cool is, every year, we go to Patriotic church services on the 4th of July, and they always play the different songs of each military branch, and all the vets and active duty people stand up. If we go this year, I'll have to stand up. That's so strange! It's almost dreamlike, this whole military thing. I can't explain it. This whole time has felt like a dream... not necessarily a dream come true, haha, but it just has a surreal quality about it.
I guess I have more to update on than I thought... I also am thinking about what I want to do in the Navy, and I'm leaning toward Explosive Ordinance Disposal... which is kind of funny, cause it rates up there with like, Navy SEALs. Hardcore. My mom was like, YOU'RE GONNA BLOW AN ARM OFF! That'd be so badass. I could have a peg leg for realz.
So, right. I guess that's all. Well, all I want to write anyway... I am so excited for Thanksgiving, I don't think you have any idea. I might actually not survive this week, but if I do, I cannot imagine a better reward than being able to go home.
18 days.
