Now it's down to five days and I'm feeling the burn!
I have been trying to get back into decent shape by doing sit-ups and push-ups every night. I will see how well I've kept myself in shape when they are making me do 25 push ups for not making my bed the right way:)
I am going to miss everything about this place I call home. The food, the friendships and the family, the animals too but not as much as the food. My freedom is slowly drawing to an end and I will soon be somebodies bitch, screaming "Yes Sir May I Have Another" God I love America!
The Office is one of the funniest shows I think I've watched in a long time. It's comparable to South Park the way it makes me laugh. The writing is sort of similar, South Park is edgy, racist, demeaning and insane. Same with The Office! I'm enjoying the Netflix account my parents have because I'm trying to be as lazy as possible before my big endeavor. I don't know how these next two and a half months are going to be, I'm pretty sure it's going to go well, I just don't know what to think about it. It's almost too much to think about. I want to say I am going to do great and everything will go perfectly fine, but I don't know what the drill instructor will be like, I don't know what the other recruits will be like. Everything is up in the air and I truly can't say I am better than any other enlistee because of the experiences I've had or the education I've received.
I am not really happy leaving right before Thanksgiving, that is just weird how they set the processing system like that. I leave right before Thanksgiving and I am in all through Christmas and New Years. It's easier to just complete everything without any breaks and not have to waste days due to holidays, breaking this up is only making it harder on the recruits.
Five days left!
Five days to say goodbye to friends.
Five days left to eat as much good food as possible.
Five days left to be alone on my own without any interruptions.
Five days left to play my drums!
Five days left to wear regular clothes.
Five days left to say goodbye!
Five days Left!

More pizza please
Here are a few more goals that I have thought of over the past week.
1) I would like to learn another language while in the service.
I hope to achieve this by being in another country and being surrounded by the language. Maybe I will be stationed in another country for a year or so.
2) To help others in need.
I hear there is an option of volunteering if you pull into port somewhere, I guess someone sets it up and it's optional to go and help out. I would love to partake in that.
3) To read as many books as I can while under sea.
There is nothing like reading while rocking back and forth on a boat. Granted these ships are so big you won't feel the rocking but at least I'll be on a boat. I would also like to read more books in general. Which leads me to another one of my personal goals.
4) Read more books while alive and breathing.
5) Utilize my parents Netflix account and watch as many movies as I can!
There has been a lot of great documentaries on that site lately. That is my new hidden pleasure.
I hope to meet some great people in the Navy. Friends I can rely on and friends I can relax and enjoy life with. I am going to learn a trade which will make me valuable and I'll be able to get my degree for dirt-cheap/nearly free. I think that's great! I would just like things to start right now, I wish that tomorrow I was on a plane.
I remember while in my first year of ACorps in Denver. The end of the year we all went to the 'Confidence Courses' at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. These confidence courses were designed for officers in training to teach them leadership, and all sorts of communication skills. My Team of about nine people and I navigated through these courses with physical and mental tests challenging us in ways that made us tired from thinking and jumping around. The courses basically reminded me of making forts when I was yonger, always making the carpet lava, and the couches safe areas where I could hang out. Maybe get a blanket and watch Salt N Peppa on the MTV. We had to manage the terrain in these courses and lets just say we stood in the first chamber for about twenty minutes tying to figure out what to do, and the other five actually doing it. After we all finished the course my Team Leader told me I did a great job with trying to figure out what to do for the team. That showed me I had a passion for leadership, which leads me to the possibility of becoming an officer. I would love to become an officer, I just don't know if I love the navy enough yet.
