Quick Updates
I’ve got 15 mins before I need to leave for PT… so let’s see about how many updates I can write… onto more… happy…things:
- Went to LTC this past summer, fell in love with the Army, decided to join afterall. I need to write an entire entry on LTC at some point…
- Going Guard SMP… already signed the contract for ROTC two or three weeks ago.
- Had an internship with Ben Nordmann Law Offices in Ft. Wayne over the summer — I love those guys. It made me realize I will NEVER want to be a lawyer, though. Way way way too much boring ass paperwork. That’s all the job is — paperwork.
- Started the IUPD pre-academy course stuff two weeks before school started — working part-time now as a cadet. I will be certified after this coming summer. I met Robin Williams last Wednesday for IUPD!!!! I was his security guard. Pretty f-ing awesome.
- I live in an apartment — finally. Bethany is my roomie and we’re working out great. Woot Tulip Tree!
- I finally have my car here and am driving on a regular basis. I heart my car. Very reliable… drives well…aaand I resemble a cop. Sweetness.
- Began taking Arabic — it’s going pretty well. I pick up languages pretty easily. I just wish I had time to learn like five before I graduate. I’m really really contemplating going to grad school for NELC instead of law school. I would be so much happier…..
- Joined the fire department! Go Bloomington Township! It’s a great facility — mostly all new stuff, lots of land… great training area. The guys there are great. And my recruit class is a lot of fun. I’m very excited
I’m pretty much prepared for any disaster lol…. now all I need is EMT my super senior year. - I’ve officially decided to stay a fifth year. I need it for NELC and I can also become an EMT that year.
- Evan and I are still in love. We’ve had some major bumps, but we’re okay. Love is all that matters in the end. It’ll help work out everything else. No more promise rings — we put too much pressure on ourselves. The promise is still the same, it’s just we don’t need to be wearing something for it.
- Brit and Greg and I are still best buds for life. Yay!
- I need to leave for PT soon… -_-
- ROTC started off pretty rocky — didn’t know anybody and I was a newbie trying to be a squad leader… felt a little out of place and intimidated. Now, getting to make some friends… getting to know names… get along well with my squad… starting to like it.
- Busy. As. Hell. Also in jui jitsu (sometimes lol), Internship with ILS bi-monthly (booorriiiing), and two other classes. I’ll start taking more classes starting next semester. Sigh. Iiii don’t know how I”ll do it but I’ve really no choice. BTFD, IUPD, and ROTC… soon to be SMP too, really take up a lot of my time.
- The end! PT.
