Stupid PT Test

I've been catching up on my reading the past few days. I failed my PT test by one push-up and if I don't pass the re-evaluation on Tuesday I might have to take remedial PT classes. (For those who don't know PT stands for physical training and it's basically like gym class only without the games.) The worst part is that our group that came straight from basic wasn't even supposed to take the test that day but because we showed up they said to take it anyway. I could have had a whole nother month to practice for it. I went to the gym yesterday with a girl I met and her two guy friends and she helped me work on my arms. I'm still sore but hopefully it will help me pass the test on Tuesday. I was going to hang out with them again tonight but they never showed up so I came back to the dorms by myself and did forty push-ups and one hundred sit-ups. Now I'm going to bed.

Hot Chocolate

Yesterday was another day off so I didn't do much of anything. I spent most of it sitting in my room by myself trying to get my e-book download to work. It took while but I finally got it and spent the rest of the day reading on my iPad. Today was just a lot of boring pre-class classes. I found out I'm not allowed to take pictures without a special consent letter so my loan follower is just going to have to suffer in ignorance and imagine the beauty of the scenery without the aid of photography. At least it was nice out today weather wise. I got to use that nice engraved coffee cup my folks got me. I put hot chocolate in it. It was good.

Crazy

Just spent the past couple days holed up in my room waiting out the rain and catching up on tv shows I missed. Woke up this morning and it was a beautiful sunny day which means a) it finally stopped raining and b) I might actually leave my room today.I hear there are waffles at the minimall. Also, I finally got that whole mess with my barnes and noble account fixed so I'll have a new book to read on my iPad by the end of the day. I don't know if it will be quite the same as a real book but I'll give it a try. It was actually more expensive than a paperback copy which I thought was a bit of a scam, like sugar free, fat free, low calorie food that costs amore that regular when you actually get less to eat. The whole planet has gone crazy I say, crazy!

I'm Back!

Just so everyone knows, I did not drop off the face of the earth or die or vanish or get abducted by aliens or something. I went to San Antonio Texas for Basic Military Training for the United States Air Force. It was really hard and really miserable and I made it through anyway. Technically I'm not supposed to say anything about it on a public forum though so anyone who actually decides to follow my blog will just have to live in perpetual ignorance or join the Air Force themselves to find out. Meanwhile I'm out here in beautiful Monterey California, if it were ever to stop raining, enjoying my first day off in over two months. I slept in till ten-thirty, washed my own laundry, and just spent more money than I should have downloading cool stuff for my iPad which I probably spent too much money on to begin with. My roommate has been gone for most of the day but I don't mind because it means I get the room and the internet which we are sharing all to myself. So far nobody's yelled at me, except for the once but that was for demonstration purposes only. I want to get some dinner to-go but I really don't want to have to get dressed and leave my nice warm room. It's still raining and I don't want to go outside. I guess I should get used to doing things I don't want to do now that I'm in the military. I just hope that tsunami safety briefing they gave us will prove useless.
