Ok i know it has been such a long time since i have written anything. My computer has been broken which means i am using the library a lot and most of the time i have just enough time to check my email and facebook and move on to other things like class or homework. A lot has changed in my life this semester. I am now single, which is just fine. (most of the time) and I have some pretty great classes.
One of my new favorite classes is ROTC. No this does not mean that i have joined the military. I am just taking the class for fun. I am learning some good leadership skills and all about how the military works. and No i don't plan on joining. I have thought about it some, but I have exercise induced asthma so there would have to be so many waivers and things like that, that it's just not worth it. Anyway, it has been a lot of fun so far and i have learned a lot. we have a 3 hour lab once a week where we go out and learn tactics and paintball. sometimes we set up ambushes and other times we deal the "civilians". At first it was all just going over my head but the last two weeks that we did paintballing i really enjoyed it and actually understood the mission and what was going on. (the first picture is of me when i got shot in the back and the second is of me and Cadet Romero all ready to go)
I have also had the chance to do two color guards for the gymnastics meets here. Because i am short i am always on the left holding a gun. I really like doing the color guard. It reminds me of being at scout camp and doing flag ceremonies. (in the picture i am the once closest to the camera and then it goes Cadet Carey, Cadet Caldwell, and Cadet Romero)
well I hope i can add more later, but there is my update:)
