Well my second week here is done. I have never been so ready for a weekend. We have been lectured for 8 hours a day, all week. I am so mentally drained. My stress levels have been dangerously high this week also because we had our first exam this morning. The exam was over all the laws and regulations that we have to know, so it was a bit of a chore. We had one guy who didn't pass so he has to retake it Monday. Poor guy.
Honestly this week feels like one day, I can't differentiate between the days. We had PT on Monday, which consisted of a 5 mile run through the mountains. I couldn't believe I ran that far. I have never ran that far in my life. My ankle started acting up after mile 3ish and the steep hills and descents didn't help. I finished just behind the instructor so I feel good about that. After returning to the school as a group, (the group I was in because there are some slow people) the people that did return sooner, myself included, we had to do shoulder torture basically. We had to hold our arms straight out to the side, with fingers up, and do small circles, for 5 minutes. Sounds easy, but trust me, it's not. We had to do it till everyone got back so we could stretch. I don't see why we have to be punished for being in shape, oh well, it's only helping me get stronger. We also had PT yesterday, Thursday, and that was only a 2.2 mile run. The ankle held up and I was clipping at Mr. Boudrot's heels the whole time. The guy is a running freak. He doesn't sweat ever. I think he could run 50 miles. Even after the 5 mile run he looked like he had ran up a flight of stairs, just breathing a little hard. INSANE!!
This weekend I'm going to try and explore some, and get some cool pictures of this place. Having a 2 day weekend is going to be so nice. I can't even tell you how tired I am, physically and mentally. Exhausted doesn't even cut it. I'm going to lay around and not feel bad about it. I'm super excited to play ultimate Frisbee on sunday, then going to watch the super bowl with classmates. Should be an "OK" weekend in my books.
Wish I had a gun here, some classmates are going to the shooting range next weekend.
New development!!! I just won a $200 gift card to an awesome outdoors store here in Franklin. I have never won anything like this ever. I shall be going there tomorrow to pick it up and probably purchase some sweet stuff. All winter gear is half off so it will be a good day!!
-That's all for now,

You have certainly had a big week and it finished great! Sounds like a shopping spree is in order. Great job on the test. It will be good to have a couple of days away from the classroom. Enjoy the superbowl! Later Dad
