it's my birthday in an hour and ten minutes. i turn 21.
i'm looking forward to it, but it's going to be an odd one. haven't really been stressed out lately, been too busy, so this birthday kind of snuck up on me, not like it was some great relief i've been anticipating.
work is good. officially made basic machinery honorman (which means i have the highest basic machinery score in the class). i put in a ridiculous amount of hours in over the weekend (16 for watch qualifications, 5 for studying). barely slept at all, but i'm used to that now. starting monday i've been putting 15 hours of work in a day, getting ready for an exam on thursday and trying to get a headstart on next thursday's exam. also, i have my advancement physical fitness assessment tomorrow at 0600. have to do something like 50 pushups in 2 minutes, 80 situps in 2 minutes, and a 11 minute mile and a half run. now, i don't need to do all of that to pass, but i feel like it. it's all about the effort here, trying to stand out and excel.
but yeah, busy busy. can't wait until leave on july 6th. right now i know i'm on my final lap, so i'm pushing extra hard to get to the finish with a good time.
somebody's gotta kick ass around here.

I managed a triple post in Flux's journal once. It was extremely mystifying.
