Wow. It's been a while since I updated. ^^; In my defense, life has been busy. Chinese kicks my ass on a regular basis. And I've actually managed to develop something of a social life. If you consider sitting around and playing Munchkin, Dungeons and Dragons, or World of Warcraft to constitute a social life. We do occasionally go out and do things ( Read more... )

Finally getting around to updating this. I still don't have an internet connection in my room. I'm gonna try to get it set up this week. Anyway, I'm loving it here. California is awesome. Not quite as warm as I was expecting, but it's been really cloudy and foggy. Still. It's beautiful here. Base is pretty cool. It's so much more relaxed than boot ( Read more... )

2 weeks people. I leave for basic training in two weeks. I'm scared make that completely terrified. I want basics to be done and over with. I'm afraid I won't make it through and disappoint my family and myself ( Read more... )

I leave for boot camp in less than a month (26 days to be exact). I'm kind of excited, but more nervous than anything. Everybody keeps telling me I'll do fine, and I'm sure that I will, once I adjust, it's just that it's kinda like when I went away to college. I was nervous and scared as hell, but once I got settled in, I was fine. It'll be a ( Read more... )

Thank God this week's almost over. >.<;; It has been crazy busy. *is exhausted* First off, I'm sick. Then I went to MEPS, up in Cleveland to enlist in the Navy. I went up Sunday, stayed in a really nice hotel, got up at 4 am on Monday, went through a physical and took my ASVAB, and had to stay over at the hotel again and go back to MEPS on Tuesday ( Read more... )

Well, I went to talk to the recruiters again today and got remeasured and filled out a shitload of paperwork. I've got to lose one pound and/or one inch to be able to DEP in. I'll be going back next Thursday to get measured again. If I've lost at least a pound I'll be going up to MEPS that Sunday and Monday to get my physical and take the ASVAB and ( Read more... )

So I got to cashier on Black Friday this year. I usually work the snack bar, where I am safely behind a counter and out of reach of crazy people. Anyway, cashiering. Yeah, it was an experience to say the least. I was at the store at 5:45 AM (I worked until 2:15 PM) and the store opened at 6:00 AM. When they opened the doors, people just came ( Read more... )

So I just spent the last few hours cleaning the disaster area that is known as my bedroom. >_< I'm still not done, but it's an improvement considering that you can actually see most of my floor. ^^; I even managed to empty one whole bookshelf and 3/4 of another. Sadly that meant packing up a lot of my manga and my plushies, but I shall survive...I ( Read more... )

Well, I just got back from Illinois a couple of hours ago. My little brother has graduated from Navy Basic Training and is now in Pensacola, Florida for 13 weeks for school. He's going to be Aviation Support. Meaning that he'll be working on planes and stuff. I'm really proud of him and it was great to see him. The ceremony was awesome. It was ( Read more... )

Y'know after you hit 21, birthdays just kinda suck. Today's my 23rd b-day. >.< I'm old now!...Okay, so I'm not really old but still...It's just weird. It's been 5 years since I graduated high school and 2 months since I graduated college. One of my friends from high school is getting married tomorrow. My other friend from high school is already ( Read more... )
