Just got back from the bookstore. Got myself I, Robot (thank you, ciaran_gabriel) and Robot Visions by Isaac Asimov, The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, and Flowers for Algernon. I'm starting with Flowers for Algernon because I've actually been meaning to read it for a while.
Started two new classes this week: Race and Cultural Relations and Aerobic Fitness. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I took Speech and Intro to Software for Business last semester. Got a B and C respectively. I deserved it. I tried, but I didn't go that extra mile. I expect to get an A in both of these classes this semester though. By the end of the semester, I'll have my associate's degree and then I'm off to basic training. Woo.
Today is my 45 day countdown. The recruiter was supposed to call me or something to make sure I have all the stuff I need or to go over something, I don't really know. I'm feeling confident in my physical strength since I've been going to the Y 4 or 5 days a week since January. What I am worried about is my sanity. I've been stressing lately, but my classes are actually helping me deal with this by giving me something else to focus on.
It's going to be a huge change, and while I welcome it, it doesn't make it any less intimidating.
Ha, mom bought some lottery tickets today. She doesn't do it often, and I think it's a waste of money, but it's sort of fun too. I thought to myself, would I still go through with the air force if we somehow won a million dollars? Of course I would. Not only do I sort of have to since I signed my contract, but I'm not doing this for money, I'm doing it for the experience and for the opportunity to learn and to better myself.
The only thing that I fear the most is that I'll be brainwashed or something. And that all I'll ever talk about is the military like some of my military friends do.
