It was awesome..got to meet Craig Ferguson, and NEIL DIAMOND!!! Oh yeah...and we also did a kick ass job with the 1812 Overture!

And the best part is I get...

Well summer classes have started...and they suck. Being summer classes, they're all 3 hours long....which is hell on earth. Add in the fact that I missed the first week or so of classes because I was away at AT and I'm well behind the curve here.

My microeconomics professor seems to think the best way to teach is to lecture us for the entire 3...

So im home from my annual training. It was a long two weeks, hell it felt a lot longer than that. We did all kinds of stuff....crawling through sand and mud...running through the woods....driving down roads....oh and a lot of firing of blanks. For an artillery unit, we sure as hell don't do much artillery work. After my platoon finished all the training we ended...

So I'm here at AT, and its kinda fun. We've done a bunch of cool training, though im dead tired at the end of every day. The internet is kinda spotty here so I'm just saying hi. Send me lots of texts and stuff! More when I get home.

Well I'm starting to do my final packing for my annual training. I leave early Saturday morning, and I'll be home sometime between the 23rd and 25th. I'll have my laptop but no internet access probably, so if you wanna get in touch with me the only way is gonna be via text message.

So I realized I should update this....here goes.

I got hurt kinda bad yesterday...I was at school for the end of semester ROTC PT test. I'd done ok up to that point, and was in the middle of the run when the person in front of me tripped up a bit, which caused me to trip and fall. As I fell the people running behind...

Well I'm off to waste a weekend with ROTC doing stupid bullshit that I learned in basic. I really don't wanna do this but i guess its mandatory(which it really isn't but they keep saying it is) so lets hope I don't break myself doing something this weekend.

I'm working the Boston Marathon on Monday. They put me working Communications at the finish line, so...

So I got word this weekend that I'm leaving for Afghanistan earlier than I thought. Instead of late January, we're leaving in November...probably before my 21st birthday too. I've started telling my friends and family about it and, not surprisingly, the reactions all pretty much lean towards the "WTF WHY!" school of thought. It means I'm gonna miss Thanksgiving, my sister's birthday, my uncles birthday,...
