Got myself a bamboo tablet in hopes that I'd get back into doodling.
Heading back to the good ol' DLI on Saturday morning. My visit home has been very relaxing, and I quickly got back into my old pre-military state of mind. The only motivation I have to return is to see some friends again and get back into Chinese. I'm sick of morning formations every day, commander's briefings every Friday, PT early Tuesday mornings and Wednesday and Thursday afternoons...
If I could just get up in the morning, eat breakfast, head to class, do PT during the breaks, then go back to my dorm and relax, I wouldn't have any problems. It's all the pointless time-wasting things they make us do during the day that upsets me. But that's the military I guess.
From what I heard of both of my grandfathers' experiences in the Air Force, I think they would've talked me out of it. I do like the Air Force, but I'm simply not a military person. The only things keeping me there are the languages and the paychecks.
This old ex-marine/army guy at the YMCA would always tell me to avoid negative people when I get in the military, but it seems like I'M the negative one. Everyone else somehow keeps their motivation up, but everything just brings me down. What's worse, I feel like a whiner. No one's told me I'm just whining and complaining and bitching, but I feel that way.
