Well I managed to get through all of my classes alright, despite worries to the contrary especially in the class I bombed the first midterm and forgot to do my project in (got a B+; I guess I aced the final). Life in San Diego has been nice, though I am somewhat looking forward to being back in my apartment and with some personal space. Not much to report really.

And I think not doing something because I'm not an Everest experience hiker / mountaineer is fucking stupid.

Given your logic I should just sit on my ass and do nothing, ever, right?

I mean why the heck would I ever go paintballing if I'm not a master and a Pro. Why ever try anything new?

Oh, wait, ok, so you're saying start small then go big right? Hmmm, so yeah cool. I'll just start doing small camping trips and hikes, locally right? Get some experience and then maybe go out of state and you know work my way up? Yeah, awesome. Brilliant.

Sooooo what about the people that go through basic training and boot camp and then get shipped off and within months are seeing combat?

Screw all that. I'm 22 and I'm doing this danger be there as it will be. If you think I'm going into this all gungho and not one bit scared, you're wrong, very very very wrong. I'm scared out of my mind of the unknown and the possibility of death but you know what? I live once. I don't want to tell the children I may have in 10 years or so that when daddy was 22 he was still working at Subway, was a nobody and never did jack. No, sorry, not good enough for me.

I may fail. I may change my mind 2 days into this but you know what? I'm going to start if nothing else.
