"it's just going to be 8 years of my life. after that, i can do what i want."

I can't help but warn you against this sort of thinking. I think a lot of guys do that too during NS- "just 2 years of my life, after that I can do what I want".

I think it's very difficult to ever get to the state where we have absolute freedom to do what we want- so it's important to try our best to do what we can within the constraints we have.

Sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to do- but we can still choose HOW we want to do them, how we want to feel about them.

You've set your course, that's great. But always remember to learn to enjoy the moment, to appreciate the little downtimes you get here and there. Don't postpone your happiness- happiness is now, whether you're in Jail, or NS, or NIE.
