(no subject)
So, I'm back in Colorado. I have to get up early tomorrow and move all of my stuff from my old place to my new one. As it turns out, i could be getting shafted by the lack of space. Rogers, my suitemate and best friend has already had the "pleasure" of moving in and he's not too content about the new setup. But, if all goes to plan, we won't have to live here for too much longer. Maybe another 6-7 months and then we'll both have our 3 yrs in and we might move in together off base. Thats still up in the air, but I think it'd be nice.
Michigan was pretty fun, there're some ups and downs overall though and instead of making a cohesive (sp?) paragraph describing them, i'll just list:
Good:
Spending time with Lauren. She definately takes top. (Also, we're dating again, and while I know its gonna be an odd time considering distance, I'd be kicking myself if we were anything less)
Seeing a bunch of cool people (Rory, AJ, Emily, Josh W and S, Sarah Ben, Bogle)
Hanging out with the family. (Mom, Keeton, and the babies)
Bad:
Not being able to spend nearly the time I wanted to with any of the respected parties. I really would have liked more time with everybody.
Leaving.
I can't say I'm looking forward to going back to work, but at the same time, I think the only thing I'm loathing about it is the unstable hours and the getting back into the groove of things. I can't decide what I should do. I had very mixed thoughts and I know that a bunch of people would support doing one option and none would support me doing the other, but I won't lie and say it hasn't cross my mind. I'm specifically talking about the two options of signing up for summer classes at the local community college over the summer semester, or volunteering to go to Iraq/Middle East. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I don't know that it would be terrible. I might even be able to do both, sign up for courses and then do them via Iraq. Ehhh, I don't know... the more I think about while not as tired, the less pleasent the idea seems. Maybe I'll just end up there the next time my deployment cycle comes up.
In any case, I had fun in MI, and its visits like those that make me wish I lived much closer.
But no, until I live there again, its not my home. Colorado Springs is my home. Mom keeps pushing MI as "home" but I have to keep telling her no. If MI was home, I wouldn't have stayed away from hom for so long.
