7 weeks
I haven’t written in this for about 7 weeks, mainly because not much has been happening.
I finished this BS degree finally. I don’t start up again for the grad program until January, which will be a welcomed break. I’m pretty much sick of school…though I know I’ll end up teaching part time once I’m done with the grad program, so I’ll never get away from it most likely. School would have been interesting if I learned anything of significance. I could summarize everything I learned in about a page of APA formatted text…anyways, I could spend too much time complaining about something that is now officially in the past.
School has really dominated my life over the past 3 years, but I can also say that I don’t know of many people who get a BS in 3 years even while only going to school as a sole profession. yada yada yada…
We pack up the herd tonight NLT 4am to head to a the glove of the states. We’ll get there hopefully about 10pm tonight EDT. Then a nice hard sleep and a few days spent relatively relaxing and seeing family. We’re coming back +2 for the summer, and hopefully it’ll be a good summer. We have about a half dozen things planned that should be fun, if not just some interesting things the kids might not otherwise be able to do until they’re adults.
I leave at the end of August for yet another Army school for 4 months. Yippee. I have to shed about 30 pounds for that still. I’ve lost about 10 in the past 2.5 weeks, so I’m on a good start. I’m a bit sore still, but it’s all part of the game of getting back into shape. Hopefully I’ll be able to maintain this after I get back also, but I know that I start the grad program immediately after I get back, and school has a tendency of sucking any free time and motivation right away. It does feel good that some parts of my body are starting to get solid again, not so much like jello in a thick bag :)
Work beckons, I have to clean up a few loose ends before I’m out of here for a week.
