This and that.
I have considered a few things about joining the military reserves. I read a pamphlet about basic training.
The most unique thing I will learn (from skimming over it) is how to disassemble an M-16 rifle, clean it and reassemble it (JUST LIKE FOREST GUMP LOL).
I wonder how that might be helpful in my future during, say, a job interview.
Interviewer: So, do you have any skills or abilities that might be useful to us?
Nic: Yes, I can disassemble an M-16 rifle, clean it and reassemble it.
Interviewer: Wow!! You're hired!!
And then I think of the Army commercials.
"Strength for now. Strength for later."
Another thing I've been mulling over lately is my current occupation in conjunction with my current field of study. I am a linguist and a phlebotomist. Let us see how I might apply linguistics to work at a plasma center. This is what I've got so far.
"Phlebotomy" is a Greek word.
"Venipuncture" is a Latin word.
"Stick" is a German word.
"Ouch" is an English word.
That's about it, really. :(
Conclusion:
Phlebotomy and linguistics don't particularly compliment each other.
In essence, this is what I will be approximately six years down the road:
A phlebotomist who can disassemble an M-16 rifle, clean it, re-assemble it in addition to conjugating infinitives into the pluperfect subjunctive with incredible accuracy and efficiency. Make a fist, motherfucker.
