Weekend Waste

[misterpike]

So this weekend has been absolutely horrible from start to finish. I was so excited to have a three day weekend, but it really let me down. Each day was worse than the next, and to top it all off, I actually had nightmares last night. Actual nightmares, like with people dying, monsters, and weird scary stuff. I haven't had that happen to me since I don't remember when. It seemed a fitting end to how the last few days have been though. Maybe it is just me realizing I am not happy here, and when I say "here" I mean geographically. It is a lot of fun living in Germany and getting to see all sorts of things here in Europe, but not knowing anyone and basically living off by yourself on a tiny little post is starting to wear me down. I miss home. I hate that. I'm complaining about getting paid to live in Europe. Eh, who knows? Maybe year number two will be great.

On the plus side, I'm getting promoted in the next couple of weeks. By Nov. 1st I'll be a Specialist. At least that is something to look forward to.
