One Week Down...
and 26 more to go! I made my return to the academy on Monday..things have not changed. I think it was a bit easier for me this time knowing what was going to happen. Last time it was total culture shock, but now, I kinda just sat back, let them get in my face and yell at me. My room mate has had a crying breakdown every day we were there. She's totally not used to the strict discipline they instill on us there. She lives in Washington and flew home for the weekend, I just hope she doesn't give up and never comes back. I'm in a class with 35 people and about 70% of them are knuckleheads. They ask the dumbest questions, don't listen, and are having serious issues with standing up and admitting they did wrong..which means when they're caught, the whole class pays for it. I hope they all straighten up by Monday or this experience is gonna seem like a whole year.
To make matters worse, I miss Chris so much! I haven't been able to get back to my room until about 9 in the evening with things going on. Then I have to get things ready for the next day which means I don't have any time to make phone calls until about 1030 or 1100. By the time I get around to talking to him, I'm so exhausted knowing I have to be up in 5 hours, I only talk to him for like 15 minutes. I feel so bad because I know he waits for me to call and he sounds so sad at the other end of the line. Maybe thats why this week had been dragging on for so long. When he picked me up last night, it was such a relief hugging him and being able to see his face. I'm just going to try and take this day by day with the hope that maybe it'll make the week go by faster so I can be with him again. So until Sunday night, I'm gonna try and spend as much time as I can with him. 26th week, here I come!
