The Home Front
I am recognizing Michigan less and less every time I come home.
Every last bit of space in Macomb County has seemingly been filled up. So many people. So many places. And all the old people and places are gone, or unrecognizable.
More and more people are gone away. I'm so glad over the past month how many people I've gotten to hang out with. Sadly, not everyone I had hoped to see. But hey thats life. At least I can still have SOME contact via the internet.
My 30 days of leave is nearing the end.
This is the last leave I'm going to have for a while. But this leave was different. I'm loading up just about the last of my stuff from my parents house, and moving to my apartment in upstate New York. Having lived in the barracks for my first years in the Marines, I lived away from home....but pretty much everything I owned was still at my parents house. My room there still set up, every time I came home it was like it was before.
Recruiting duty is going to be far different than anything I have experienced before. No more barracks full of Marines to hang out with. (Which is not actually all that bad) I'm all on my own in terms of work, and private life. Honestly, I do like that. With such a heavy work load awaiting me, I wont have much of a private life anyway. So it's not like i'm going to get lonely or anything.
Coming back home to Michigan to visit is going to happen alot less now. Not as much time off. With the exception of the wedding next august, I may not get to come home at all over the next 3 years.
So keep on rockin' it, livejournal------
