The bad news is... Mason might not be home until August. He was volunteered (he didn't volunteer himself, mind you. His name was randomly picked when nobody else volunteered) to participate in a facility that trains Marines to be prepared for combat. This program might begin in late March and won't end until August. The facility is thirty minutes south of his barracks. Mason doesn't know anything else about it. I felt a lightning bolt strike my heart once hearing the news... Mason and I are both crushed... Crushed is an understatement... We might go insane. We planned, since January, for him to take Leave on our third year anniversary/his 20th birthday and stay until a little after July 4th. Now, that might not happen.
If Mason won't be home for our anniversary/his birthday, it'll be the second year we spend it separated. I always despise spending Valentines Day, Christmas, my birthday, his birthday, our anniversary... pretty much EVERY SINGLE DAY without HIM by my FREAKIN' SIDE! And I mean LITERALLY!
It's a struggle... But I'll try not to freak out. That'll hurt my goal on staying positive.
The good news about the bad news is that Mason might still be able to communicate with me. Maybe not through IMVU, but definitely through texting and possible calling.
Anyway... My day was fine. I had an anxiety attack during Philosophy. It was so bad, I skipped English. The anxiety attack started after Mason told me he had bad news (and wanted to call me later to tell me) AND by remembering that I forgot to upload my comments to people's story's! I didn't even READ THEM, FOR CRUD'S SAKE!
We've been critiquing people's story's for almost a month now. I can't believe I had forgotten. Panicking over my grade lowering, I had to leave. I had to go home and do my homework and write my story and... CHILL.
My English teacher understood, I left for home, I finished some of my homework before going to therapy. Therapy released a lot of tension! I'm glad it's off of my chest. After therapy, I drove to Lincoln Park. I wanted to surround myself with nature; especially at a place that I deeply cared for in my heart.
I've decided to change my story to something I can easily write about without many people judging because it's not based on "fact." The story will be loosely based on Mason and I and our struggle with him being involved with the Marines. THAT'S ALL I'LL SHARE! EVERYTHING ELSE IS SECRET!
No stealing. :)
I'm proud of it so far. I want to continue and hopefully finish it before Feb/28th or March/1st. I need it posted by then on my English class's website for people to read and comment.
Again, WISH ME LUCK!

| Cave Inn |
"After two days of trekking and caving, we reached the first camp inside Hang Son Doong [mountain river cave], the world's largest cave," writes Your Shot contributor Ryan Deboodt. "The entire way, I was in awe of the scene unfolding in front of me. The atmosphere created by the clouds entering the cave from the first doline (opening in the cave ceiling) was surreal. I couldn't get over the fact that we would be camping at this most unique location and wanted to capture the feeling of having this at your doorstep." (By: Ryan Deboodt)
