One more thing, I was recently asked if I have my address for basic yet, and the answer to that is, I won't have it until I get there. So my question to all of you, is would it be better to get my address on here, or facebook, or somewhere else? Give me your suggestions and comments.

2 weeks
So now I have 2 weeks until i leave for basic. 2 weeks from today or tomorrow, I'm not sure. I think I will go to MEPS on the 3rd, and then ship out to basic on the 4th, but i could be wrong. This past week has been interesting for me. I started feeling really excited about going, and that turned to feeling anxious, and then when i struggled with running in the cold so much, I was feeling really nervous and worried. I won't be able to improve my running by much in just 2 weeks, but any little bit will help. Today though, I don't feel worried or (that) nervous or anxious. I just feel excitement. My life, since i graduated high school, has been pretty much spur of the moment decisions, even the big ones. I almost joined the Navy right after high school because i had no idea what i wanted to do. Then I decided to go to Word of Life Bible Institute instead. Since it was a full year program, i was working there that summer in the skatepark and i decided that I wanted to go to Bryan College in June, just a few months before school started. Now that I've graduated college, I found myself in the same situation, with no direction whatesoever. So I joined the army. Not that I didn't think about it, because I did. I spent about 2 months looking up information and finding out a lot about it, but when it came down to my recruiter asking if I wanted this job, I thought, "what the heck, I have nothing better to do, and this could be fun." I hope you all are laughing at how ridiculous I am now, but that's ok, my life is turning out ok so far! All of that to say, joining the army is something i never would have seen myself doing a few months ago, and it's nothing like anything else I've ever done. So I'm really excited to see what I will do, and what I will go through. My PT will come in time, when the Drill Sergeants are screaming at me and calling me names. Maybe that's what I need to get motivated though...
