Today is Friday, Week 6.
Days here are like weeks, and weeks are like days. Basically, days go by very slowly, but the weeks pass quickly.
Life after 4th week has improved exponentially, with showers at will, access to email, blousing of boots, academic classes, etc etc.
Indoctrination week was the most difficult and stressful week I've ever had in my life.
Notes:
-Chow hall highlights: peanut butter (w/ apples, cucumbers, bananas, etc), yogurt (w/ everything).
-The sand pits suck. really suck. There have been times when I thought I was dying..literally.
-There have been many times in the beginning when I felt like my body was shutting down.
-You get used to living on 4 hours sleep.
-Always be ballistic. Except when speaking to an officer.
-I wear a glow belt 24/7...even to sleep.
-Walking by the dessert section every day torments me.
-I really suck at hand eye coordination activities without being able to practice beforehand. (i.e. sword manual)
-Every day provides excellent and hilarious stories. Especially when we get beat. Everyone hates everyone while getting beat, but we all enjoy recapping afterwards.
Gotta go now...time to lock on again.
