Day 33 of Boot Camp

Well, today was boring. I had one class. It was math. The day was super wet, grey, and windy.

The only time I like it when it is windy, is if the electricity goes out! Then, we'd have to find creative ways in keeping everybody warm and finding entertainment! I, at least, think it's fun. Others would be horrified that they couldn't play on their Xbox's or surf the web on their fancy Mac laptops.

Besides the point, I want to get back to talking about classes. I think I'm going to stop learning Italian next quarter. This is an "I Think" situation because, well, I really want to learn Italian! I'm sure I could teach it to myself  HOWEVER, I'd appreciate it if there was a tutor with me or someone. The thing I hate about learning a new language, are the TESTS. I have test anxiety and... I don't particularly like studying on that kind of stuff. I enjoy learning it, but not so much studying it... If you get my drift.

I took a couple handfuls of my pumpkin seeds to Marissa and Jillian. They LOVED them. I told them the seasoning was a "secret recipe" made by my grandma. They kept telling me, spontaneously, how good they were! They are addicting; trust me. :)

Today, during the evening, an old friend of my mom's visited us for several hours. He was a joyful guy! I'm glad I got to meet him. I'm sure I met him before but a long time ago. You know how bad MY memory is...

He shared stories about him doing his diving and underwater photography. He hikes up mountains and is thinking of doing cave diving. The man is a daredevil in disguise. He also told me, since my mom knows this already, that he used to be in the military in some hardcore stuff! He advised me that the Marine Core boot camp is a lot harder than all the other branches in the military. He said the drill SGTs tear away the civilian that you are, and build you back up into a Marine.

Kind of saddening; having to be torn away... But... I guess that's how it has to be, huh? 

Tomorrow... I don't know WHAT the Hell I'm going to do... Possibly send Mason another letter and go to my grandparents house to give them a bag of pumpkin seeds. Then I might let go of my two snails whom I have had for the past year. I'll be letting them go at Lincoln Park of course. One at one spot Mason and I hung out at and the other at the other area me and Mason used to hang out at. It'll be a better life for them.

On Halloween, I am scheduled to talk to my therapist once again. We have made the "two week meetings" deal again like we had a while ago. She just wants to get the things that are cooped up in my mind out so it wouldn't be a hassle later on in distant sessions.

Other then that... yea! Nothing... really went on today. Let's see about tomorrow.
