it's my birthday in an hour and ten minutes. i turn 21.
i'm looking forward to it, but it's going to be an odd one. haven't really been stressed out lately, been too busy, so this birthday kind of snuck up on me, not like it was some great relief i've been anticipating.
work is good. officially made basic machinery honorman (which means i have...

i've become entirely too dependent on coffee, a possible downside of working long, late hours all weekend.
speaking of work, time to go back.

I wish you knew how, oh how, that cracked me up.
But, don't take it back; that is, if you know what's good for you.

Did I ever show this to you?
the process of buying a car is fairly painful.
it's even worse considering that i'm already dealing with the stress that comes with a new intense subject to study (exam on tuesday!) and a large amount of "optional" work that i can only put in on the weekend (which i just want to use to recover from the week).
ugh, i could go for a...

Does that mean that you have to prove, somehow, that you didn't enjoy yourself in any way while on watch?
"Qualifying" sounds like you have to pay strict attention to what you're doing.

Oh, man! I had too much green tea, and now I feel all 'jangey'.
after a stressful week of work and having more work on sunday and monday, it's somewhat disparaging that i have nothing to do today.
a little less than 6 weeks until leave. this is my mantra for the week.

Well good for you. It's nice to see people taking control of their lives, and I understand the whole family thing. I'm the first male not to serve in the military. I've gotten over it by now, but it was definitely and issue while I was in college. Anyway, It's good to hear you're doing well, and have a great vacation!

Did I miss something? When did you join the military? I must have missed a lot in my four month absence.

Sweetie, did you entertain the idea that that smoke was from righteously huge cook-outs?! Oh, yeah, you thought the were controlled burns.

Hordes of clove smokers?!
i've had a pretty decent past week, and nice weekend so far to boot. of course, i could bore you with the details or just let you watch this "sheep in scary mask" video. guess which one is more interesting.

Scarred for life!

Thought I'd drop by and say "Hey"! Are you at Charleston Naval?
the greatest gifts that i've received in the past few days:
- one of those spiffy LED light pens and a moleskin pocket notebook for those nocturnal idea emissions
- a large stack of 3 x 5 notecards for making flashcards
still, i feel like crap. let's just say that the past month of nonstop information memorization is starting to wear me down a bit. BM3...
