My final day. I will be coming back a new person. Scared out of my mind though, but I try my best to overcome my fear of basic training. I've heard from a few people already to keep a positive mind. Uncharted territory to me, but I must leap such a boundary if I am to succeed. Really push my will power and determination past it's limits. Basic training is mostly a mind game. If I can convince myself of what I need to, I will graduate. No "if", "and", "but", or "may" about it. I've definitely got push-ups covered. I've ran 1.5 miles in 12:51, so, there shouldn't be anything that can prevent me from acquiring the required minimum standard which is 13:45. I've six weeks to work on sit-ups, but that shouldn't be a problem since I was only four away from what's required. Top heavy or not, there can be no excuses. And from what I've seen in the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) Guide, the things I'll be required to learn should prove rather easy. Especially with no distractions. There wasn't really much to memorize anyway. Six weeks of this shouldn't be hard at all. I've already found that the older you are, the faster time flies. Considering how full my days will be, this should be done and over with quickly. My friends, on the other hand, would certainly miss me. What's funny is that there's a couple people I know who fear that I'll forget about them. To reassure you two, you need not worry. Throughout whatever free time I may acquire, I'll be having them in my mind. And, of course, try contacting them either through letters or by phone. So many to write to though.... My best friend Casey, my brother from another mother, would be the first for me to write a letter to, since I wanted to talk to him before leaving, but my cell phone doesn't have free minutes on weekdays before 9 PM. Plus, I spent my weekend with Candess.... Not that that's a bad thing. I love her like I would love a sister, after all. Anyway, next would be a friend Krista, who I haven't heard from since December and am worried about her. Definitely need to let her know that my advance schooling for my job will mostly likely take place in Florida, which is the state she lives in. After that, I really dont know, but that doesn't mean that they have been forgotten. I'm certainly going to miss everybody. I hope I'll be able to write to all whose address I have. Well, I'd love to write more for everybody, but I really, really, really need the sleep. Wish me luck, please.
