Friday is only a day and a half away. I'm excited about leaving, but I'm slightly torn. The wanting to leave greatly outways the wanting to stay, no doubt about that, because I haven't seen Muff for almost thirty days now... and talking to him on the phone just makes me miss him more. But I absolutely hate the goodbyes, my mom makes them so much worse then they have to be. It would be so easy for me to just say a quick goodbye, give a quick hug, then walk through airport security. But no - she has to drag it out... And of course I miss out on events around TFF and keeping up with everybody hear on LJ... Oh well, I guess we can't have everything in life right?
I got the papers for my promotion though, and its looking like I'll get promoted on August 2. Good enough for me. Will I be evil and make everyone stand at parade rest and say, "Aye, Lance Corporal"? Probably not, but it wouldn't funny. Muff already told me he's going to do it just to annoy me...
Today was overall a fairly good day... I guess I'm really happy that I get to leave Friday, and I know its coming quickly. Really being home has been quite nice, getting to see my family, go horsebackriding, and just chill, but I miss the Marine Corps. I miss my friends (not to mention Muff...) and I miss just doing something more then paperwork for the recruiters... And not to sound mean, but the family gets old pretty quickly. I'm miss them of course, but sometimes you can only take too much of them. Especially when they start whining because I'll be leaving soon...
Anything else from me? Nah, not right now anyway. I'm out... got to go make a phone call... Who would think Dumsy would be this attached to a guy?? I must have lost my mind...
