Winter
I'm feeling melancholy tonight I think it has something to with this time of year. Looking back through the archives of my own journals, I ask myself, when have I ever been completely happy in December?
Brett moved out this afternoon and I'm a little bitter about that. He was the only real guy friend that I had here, but then he got married so we're probably not going to hang out as much. I'm happy for him though. He's married to a lawyer and living at a nice place in Lacey. It just blows to be reminded that all close friendships in the army are only temporary.
He wasn't even gone for two hours before this douche bag came in to stay in his room. He needed a place to stay for the next few days to settle some domestic dispute. The unit gives a barracks room to those married when it seems that things may turn violent at home. I hope he leaves soon. He's pretty weird, and I really don't like old people.
Most likely I am, in fact, canceling the trip to California, which sucks, but I need to make a more adult decision about this. My credit is shit right now, I'm deep in debt, and this certainly isn't a good time to blow money on a frivolous vacation.
My credit is shit right now, i shouldn't blow money on a frivolous holiday. Vacationing for Christmas isn' that important.
In speaking of which, yesterday I sent out Xmas cards to a few people back home and then went to this Christmas/Going Away party. I didn't want to be with anyone there, and I wasn't hungry at all. I talked to Starnes and his wife for a bit, drank a couple beers, and gave my good-byes before anyone started asking questions. I hate pretending to like the people I work with.
I didn't sleep a single hour last night and I'm feeling drained from that. I need to study, but I'm not going to. I finished most of my homework for the night, so I can at least feel accomplished from that.
I'll take care of everything else in the morning.
