| | Tonight is my last night in my hometown. Tonight I will check into a local hotel, and tomorrow I will get up at the crack of dawn, be shuttled to my last round of processing and paperwork before being shuttled to the airport and flown to my final destination -- Hell Navy bootcamp.
Yes, I'm pretty excited. Yes, I'm also quite nervous. Yeah, my parents are excited for me but also really sad to see me go.
No, I cannot bring my cell phone/iPod/camera/journal/reading books, and no, that really doesn't bother me. Honestly. I cannot believe how many people have asked me that and gasped in shock when I explain that it's BOOTCAMP. It's not supposed to be fun or comfortable. As long as I understand that, I guess I'm okay... but the misunderstandings of other people really get on my nerves.
Uh... enough complaining...
This is pretty much my "good bye" post. I wish it were more eloquent, but I decided that rather than wait for some lightening bolt of inspiration to hit me (I'd be waiting for a while,) I'll just tell it like it is.
Xanga has been fun. I have really enjoyed reading all of your blogs. You have made me smile, laugh, cry, and ponder, so I thank you. I have learned some valuable lessons, such as the worth (or complete lack thereof) of getting totally pissed off about something (the lesson: it's not worth it. I learned that one many, many times) and the (immense) value of a simple "I'm thinking of you". Thanks for being my teachers and my peers.
I'm not leaving Xanga forever; my blog will still be here for your viewing pleasure. But I won't be updating for at least two months, and probably more than that (I will not blog at tech school, I will not blog at tech school, I will not...)
So this is good bye. I will be thinking of all of you, whether I knew you well or not, and I wish you all the best of luck in everything.
