The last couple of days I've started to get really pensive about this whole graduation thing. I was driving away from the Archways and I saw a 4/c saying goodbye to his girlfriend, and I'm not sure why it really effected me. She was up for the 4/c formal, and he was in his SDB's holding her, and it looked like she was crying. I watched it a little in my rearview mirror, and then I flipped my mirror up to give them some privacy. The cynical part of me wants to laugh because it's 4/c year, and she'll meet someone at "real" college and he'll date one of his classmates... but maybe not. Whoever she was, and I didn't recognize the 4/c, I hope it works out. I hope they stay together, and that they get engaged, and she follows him to his first unit and he has a wonderful Coast Guard career with her by his side. I hope she finds everything she needs, and builds a support network for herself when he goes underway, and that they survive it.
Graduation soon, and James and I have been talking a lot about the future. We both agree that we love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together, but we struggle with the "e" word and where that will all fit in. I got upset with him last night, and he woke me up around midnight to tell me he loved me and wanted to be with me. Life seems so complicated, and the chances of surviving something like me on a 378 and him wanting to do TACLET and MSST seem so so small. I know that it will work out the way it's supposed to, but right now I feel very very pensive about the relationship right now.
