Well my dad left today to fly back home to Kansas. Super hard to let him out of here. He was such a great help and I wouldn't have been able to do anything without him here. So thanks Dad.
Other than drop him off I haven't done much today. I started my workout's for while I'm out here. This consists of running to the top of my mountain, and the "300" workout. I think the combination of this will prove sufficient for my stay out here.My roommate heard that our Physical Training is only 1.5 miles of running. If it is, I am going to destroy all people.
I'm downing the bananas in preparation for the cramps I will have tomorrow. I need to eat healthier though. That's step two. 2 hotdogs or a sandwich is not going to cut it. I NEED MORE! I'll have to find some good meals to make for myself and roommate Shawn. He's really cool. He was in Afganistan not too long ago fighting for our country and lives in Alaska, and is going to work there when he is done here. His fiance is from New York, where he is also from, and she went home today too. She may or may not come back to stay after a month goes by. She cooks very well so I hope she comes back!
I start class tomorrow and both Shawn and I don't know what to expect. It should prove to be an exciting day. My countdown for coming home officially starts tomorrow. Even though I know it will probably be fun here. You better believe that the second I'm done graduating from out here, I'm jumping in my car and driving straight home, stopping as little as possible. I already calculated that I need to stop 3 times for fuel if I leave with a full tank. I'll get food at one stop and only gas at the rest. 16 hours is long, but a couple Red Bulls and I'll be home before I know it. Not that I'm not excited to be doing this, I'm just amazingly excited for my return home. I smiled just writing that sentence, that's how excited I am.
I have been reading my "textbook" for class, and I must say, this is the biggest waste of my time ever. Completely pointless and I am "dumber" just for reading it. Shawn agrees so it's not just me. He said you could slam your hand in the door and learn more than this book teaches you hahaha. He has 2000 movies here so that's going to help us when we get bored.
My bathroom has a heated floor, and I've decided, that when I have a house I am putting one in. It's so amazing when getting out of the shower. Nice warm floor, ha makes me want to shower just thinking about it.
I'm going to go ahead and apologize for how much "blogging" I will be doing. I told myself I would blog once a week, but I see now that it's going to be more often than that. I'll at least feel like I'm "communicating" with people if I write. I know someone will read it. I hope all of you who are reading this are not already sick of hearing me blab. Put yourself in the middle of a forest on a mountain and tell me you wouldn't be lonely. If you think you wouldn't be, lies.
I hope all of you are having a great start to 2012!

Hey Zach. I was home by 10:45pm after a day of delayed flights and 100's of folks getting re-routed out of Ashville,NC and Atlanta, GA. I was glad to see the lights of Kansas City go under the plane about 8pm CST.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow somewhat resembles what you expect. Navy bootcamp was probably somewhat similiar for me. Once I was in the groove, I loved it. You make friends you never forget and you go through things together that bring you together as a team. Make the most of it. You are truly in one of the most beautiful parts of the United States that I have ever been in.
I enjoyed the trip down there with you Zach. I think I got to know you a lot better than I did before during those 15+ hours of road time. You will do fine. Just keep your eyes fixed on the goal. There's a lot of people praying for your success! Love you son, Dad
