My days are so long.
If I’m not asleep, I’m in class. If I’m not in class, I’m doing Airman Leader work. If I’m not doing Airman Leader work, I’m tutoring. If I’m not tutoring, I’m doing studying. If I’m not doing that and I actually have free time, class and my language is constantly bouncing around my head. I don’t need a break,...

Today dragged on, probably just because I was tired. Class wasn’t too bad, stayed decently interesting, I love the relationship I’m building with my teachers. These past few weeks I’ve just been doing what they told me and they’ve been happy with my work. The new offer that might be coming up with the new class is something I’m really looking forward to if it could...

Took my days of actually relaxing. Chilled at a couple bars. Had some good food. Had plenty of good conversations. Smoked my first cigar, along with many cigarettes. Ended up doing more work in Sunday than I had expected, and back to routine week tomorrow. Is it the weekend yet? I miss having someone to talk to sometimes. Goodnight.

I think I’m back on my track. Stay humble, psd. Cheers.

Got a much needed slap in the face from my teacher today. Did nothing today except smoke, eat, and study. I gotta get back to where I was. I need to find, and keep a motivation. Sigh.

As boring as the drive between home and here can be, I have a lot of fun doing it, lol. I swear there’s nothing like rolling the windows all the way down, the sun sitting in the perfect spot, and good music just blasting. I sit there driving, singing, smiling, and at the same time thinking about everything going through my mind that usually bothers me. I’m so thankful for my optimism....

I’ve been home these past two days. Spent the mornings sleeping in enjoying my bed, and both days had homemade lunch from my mom. Ah. Me and my dad went to the commissary, I told him I had started smoking. He didn’t take it nearly as bad as I thought he would, he just sounded really sad about it, but I think he was happy I told him. Saturday night I hung out at the restaurant, helped...

Officially an Airman Leader now. Cool. I guess. Haha. Had lunch after with a couple people. It irks me a bit when I’m talking to a couple people in a group and everyone thinks they were part of that conversation too. Oh well, it wasn’t bad. Headed home after all that. Seven hour drive, only made two quick stops. It sucked though. I think about Hauck a lot for some reason. Eh. Went to...

I might be bipolar, or have some sort of emotional problem. Haha. Today was rad as hell. I haven’t opened any language related work since Sunday, even in class. Today we had our first semester final. I ran through it pretty easily, probably a high B, which is okay for how much I studied. My speaking got a little better, but I know I need hella improvement. Afterwards we got to play dodge...

I’ve been sad all day. The end.
14FEB2012: Satisfaction.
My role as a leader here sure has it’s benefits. Yeah, there’s probably a grip of people out there that see me as an asshole, but I do what I have to do when I need to. Today, a kid walked up to me when I was just talking to a friend in his room. “Thank you so much man, I kind of love you right now.” I laughed, and asked what was up. He thanked me for taking him off his...

It’s so nice to take a bit of time after 7 hours of class and just drive around with friends, running little errands and whatnot. It’s amazing what all of you take for granted. Here we have a phase program, when you’re new here, you have to be in uniform for about three weeks, slowly gaining freedom as time goes by. Today some of my airman received ATP after being here for a...

This was a much needed weekend to get away from class, and some people too. Ended up just relaxing, with a small to do list on the side that I did get done. Saturday night I saw Elite Squad: The Enemy Within. The whole movie was in Spanish, but it is definitely one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Afterwards I headed to Crown to meet up with Tanehill and some other friends. Even though I...

Coughed a lung up in class today. A bit of a punch in the face. Not hard enough I guess. Went out to eat with Randall and Pickrel and ended up being 5th wheel. The food was shit, but at least I got to watch the game. Haha. Caught Safe House with Dillon. Relaxing way to start the weekend. Hopefully next week will look up from this one. Late.

Tomorrow is Friday. Cheers.

I don’t know what it is with me this week. Gettin’ back to my ways. Isolating myself a bit. I normally look forward to class, and talk my mouth off all day long. These past few days I’ve been so bored, making me seem tired in class. Tedious schedule. Nothing much to look forward to at the end of the day besides my bed and music. I’m not sure if this whole situation I have...

Days are too long here. It’s good to be busy I guess. It just makes me cherish those few hours of free time I get. I literally was doing something military related from 0700-1930. With about an hour of lunch and maybe 30 minutes hanging out at the patio. I met with Sheridan who moved up a while back, it’s cool chillin with him. I met another dude who apparently breaks, he said he still...

Today started off pretty whack. Woke up a bit late, and ended up getting open ranked at formation. Wasn’t looking forward to class, but killed my quiz anyway. After that I could not keep my eyes open in class. I have no idea why, I just get so bored. I feel like I don’t absorb much from all the exercises we do. And then I go to study hall for an hour and learn everything really quick...

It’s been a long weekend. A long week. My mind has been off, I’ve been smoking a bit more. It’s difficult for me to let things go like she’s trying to do. I like to talk, I really just want to apologize. But, maybe somethings are just left better off unsaid, for now at least. Knowing my big mouth I’m going to bring it up when I get the chance, and it’ll probably...
Try not to smoke. That is not a healthy life choice.

I’ve always been the quiet one. Up until these past few years, I’ve been able to speak my mind a bit more openly. Eh, a lot more. I guess it keeps me going, I’ve only been quiet because I was scared of what other people thought. But where can you go keeping to yourself, you know? It was bound to get me into some shit, I just never thought it’d affect me this much. Time to...
2FEB2012, Progression.
Got a B+ on out Unit 4 test yesterday. I was really aiming for an A, so it kind of put me down. My speaking is horrible, mainly how I use my grammar, but I’ll get that up by the next test. I was in such a bad mood after I saw my grade, my teacher was lecturing us about how far we’ve come. She said, “Look how much you can do after just two months!” I gave her a mad smirk and...

Being able to walk out of a test today and saying, “I killed that shit” really keeps me going despite how long this day has been. I’ve come far, but I don’t want that feeling of accomplishment to settle yet. As soon as my duty day was over, I hit the gym and right afterwards it was back to the flash cards. Vocabulary is my strong point, so I can’t slack now, I have to...

Today was boring. Took Dillon out for his birthday with Hauck. I’m content with the friends I have here. I didn’t study for the test tomorrow. Shabash. Goodnight. I feel whack for having nothing to write today.
