(no subject)
i had a ball yesterday on town liberty. so i went to unch with my blue and gold officer, and then i left the yard to buy running shorts. mission accomplished, i had no idea what i was going to do with myself, considering there was no way in hell i was going to go back until i absolutely had to. luckily, i ran into marino, who is one of my fellow 18 plebers, and we decided to bum arounbd together since we were both bored. we escprted a couple to the chapel because they were lost (another service done by your friendly neighborhood mids. come again!). he came into a pottery place with me to buy a mug for tea (it was an awesome place, let me tell you). then we went to chick and ruths cos he needed lunch and i needed a hot fudge sundae. that accomplished, we ran into picinich, from 17, and we walked around with him. we went to my favorite little bookstore anf some tourist-y shops for fun (there's a 10%military discount in the fudge shop, ooo-rah!). picinich had a gift certificate t a nice restaurant in the town, so he treated us to dinner. then we got coffee and headed back.
here's a funny thing my friend and squad-mate jason greene sent me:
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more
than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone
wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What
makes up 100% ! in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is
represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% !
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that
WhileHard work and Knowledge will get you close, and
Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass
kissing that will put you over the top.
fun stuff!
so...i don't have a wholelot to say...school tomorrow...yay. it sucks, though, co sthe earliest we're allowed to go to bed by our comoany is 11, even though brigade-wise, we're supposed to be allowed to sleep at 10, and i usually wake up around 5:30 or so because my roommate is noisy, and then i get up at 6 to run. and of course, i usually end up going to sleep later because the upperclass are noisy, and we aren't allowed to sleep with our doors closed. so i get about 6 hours of sleep a night, which at this place is an ungodly little amount, so staying awake in class is an unending battle.
ok, gotta get ready for formation.
