Sorry I suck at this posting everyday thing...It's currently 3am. I figure now is as good a time to write as any, since I have like no other free time before I have to go. I had my last date before I go away tonight. I'm not going into detail cause good girls don't kiss and tell. Movie, then food. Typical, but also not. It was a great night. It made me wish I didn't have to go so soon...Oh well. I'm leaving on Monday. I'm so excited. Party Saturday. I'll write more later. I need sleep.

Sorry I haven't written. I've been on vacation. =]
Mom and I flew to Philadelphia, then from there we flew to San Diego. It really sucks that there are no direct flights from Indy to Cali. I had inner ear issues when I was little, so the pressure most other people feel during decent is horrible pain for me. Needless to say, flying twice in one day was NOT something I looked forward to. Fortunately, I survived with minimal tears on the first flight. The second flight was more painful though, but also less tearful. Thursday night we just went to the hotel to sleep off the jet lag.
Then Friday we spent the morning at the hotel. Mom had work to do so we sat at the pool until she had to go in and do her work. Then in the afternoon, we went to Old Town, this cute historical area of San Diego. There were lots of little shops and things. We had dinner at this cool outdoor cafe. I went over to talk to a Marine. =] I saw him in his uniform when he came in. I casually mentioned to my mom that it would be cool to go thank him for his service. She wouldn't let it go. She kept pushing me. So I finally worked up the courage to go over and talk to him. He was nice, ya know, polite. He was also kinda cute, haha! He was with his family and they seemed really proud of him (DUH!). I told him I was going to training in 10 days. He told me to "have fun" and his mom told me good luck.
Then Saturday, I fulfilled my childhood dream! I went to the San Diego Zoo! It was great. It was huge. It was all up hill!!! The mountain lion was definitely my favorite. It was just pacing right there at the front of the enclosure. I liked the hippo too, but mostly cause it had the same name as one of my best friends. I took tons of pictures. I'll probably post them soon.
Sunday, SEA WORLD! Shamu, Dolphins, Seals, Otters, Sting Rays, Star Fish, PENGUINS!!! Not sure why I capitalized all that, I'm weird. It was fun, again, lots of walking and lots of pictures to be posted soon. =]
Monday was more travel. Yay airplanes! Again, two flights. First one was awful, almost cried. Second one was terrible. Worst pain ever in my life! I cried like a baby, like for real, wailing, crying, sobbing like a baby. The poor guy sitting next to my mom didn't know what to do. I felt so bad for him. He was so nice though. He mad everyone stay out of the way so mom and I could get off the plane first.

I am a horrible Blogger. I haven't posted all week!
Wednesday was fun, but I got in trouble. Thursday I overslept and missed PT. So when Friday morning rolled around, I took quite a punishment. Then Saturday was really fun. Everyone went down to the reserve center. We got to see equipment and stuff. It was definitely fun. Then after that everyone went back to the office to hang out and stuff our faces. Then SSgt G, Sgt Perez, Sgt Shaw, Campbell, Jackson, and a couple others and I went to go play basketball. I took a couple elbows to the face but it was really fun.

This is going to be spectacularly short. Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days. I've been working hard to crawl out of the grave that I dug for myself. I'll explain on Wednesday or Thursday.
