The government has spent millions of dollars training me to; Insert into enemy areas by parachute, helicopter, armored vehicles or simply walking really far, to track and observe enemy over distance and time and to generally hunt down and kill "bad guys" with everything from blunt objects to modern missiles And I spent all day today in a library researching articles for a damn freshman term paper.
The good news is I think my professors are all too freaked out by me to fail me but it's still a little strange going back to school with a bunch of kids fresh outta highschool after traveling all over the world playing soldier. Especially when they start 'teaching' about places I've been. So thats usually me biting my tongue and smirking in the back row. Sometimes I want to blow off this college thing and just get a job abroad but I really want to get fluent in chinese and a degree to show for what I know for once.
....Besides that I've been enough crappy places in my life that even at it's worst this place is just plain fun.
