Mystic Marine  Checklist: Dishes- All done and drying on the counter! Laundry- Two loads still to finish and fold Dry cleaning- Picked up, hanging in the closet! Uniform for tomorrow- Still in dry cleaning bags... hanging in the closet Leaves on the lawn-Still sitting there on the lawn, waiting to be raked Church- 1100 Work out- 1400 Cat litter box- Cleaned! Here is an amazingly hard mat shubsitution problems. Kind of like crytopgraphy with numbers... Are you smart enough? If you think you are, post the answer you get and we will check with the answer I have here. 1. None of the numbers are actually the number they represent, only the numbers 0-9 are used. (Ex. 1=2, 2=3, etc.. but that is not a hint) 2. Each number represents the same number throughout all the problems. 3. 518 x 70 = 6270 4. 6481 + 3294 = 32847 5. If all that is true then what is the answer to: 7221 x (3334+2666) = ? Confused? Ask me questions and I will try to help..
Current mood:  weird.
Ok folks, well I will be coming home for Thanksgiving. That's the big announcement I have for the day. I will be home from the 21st to the 28th. I have been away for a while, and juts got my internet back last Friday. I hope to be able to see all or most of you when I am home, if your name is Amanda Conger, I expect a reply to this message, so that we can dicuss a plan I have (cackle cackle). Also, I will be attending Rendezvous, so girls, bring your A GAME. Prepare to be tackled with hugs and lots of laughter (I will not promise to try and restrain myself). I hope that we can see lots of each other and do lots of crazy things while I am home. Message me so we can talk and plan things ahead. Current mood:  dorky.
Sigh, How I wish that SC stood for southern California, but alas, it does not. So, settling down here in South Carolina, adopted a cat, named him Prince Charming (due to the fact that he stole my heart), call him Charmer. Hoping to go out to Rendezvous this year, but don't know if I will be on duty in the tower yet. (Cross your fingers girls) Going out to a friends' wedding next weekend. (I'm in the wedding) Looking into buying my own car insurance instead of piggy-backing my Mom and Dad's. Going to Parris Island next week to work at the rifle range (Verify!!!) Learning my way around the tower and Air Traffic Control facility. Met one of the Colonels last week. Trying to train my cat not to jump on the dinner table (a.k.a. he's training me to feed him wherever he wants) As you can see, very busy (but not really) figuring things out. I am working hard to find out where I stand around here, should prove to be interesting... Current mood:  mellow.
As I look to the future I realize that I have only 8 days left in Florida. I take time to reflect on my experiences here, and I realize that I am falling further and further into self-doubt. Everyone keeps telling me I shouldn't doubt myself, but how can I not? The most important people in the world to me are my family and a girl scout troop. I cry more over those two groups of people and my SMC lacrosse friends that anyone else in the world. The world could stop and if that troop and that team and my family kept going, I wouldn't even notice. I am totally absorbed into them, and I am beginning to think that maybe that isn't such a great idea. Girls, don't panic, I love you all to pieces, I would never give you up. What I do need to do is understand why I don't care about the Marine Corps that way yet. Plus, I have a huge project due this week and I still have to pack and move and blah blah blah blah blah. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I sure hope that you are looking out for me, God knows that I can't do it all myself. 8 days ladies and gentleman, 8 days. Current mood:  depressed.
Ok kids, for those of you who don't fully understand Marine-speak, "The Fleet" is short for the Fleet Marine Force, a.k.a. the operating forces. Basically it means I will actually be in charge of Marines and will be training to go overseas and fight the War on Terror. Any other questions? Sorry about all the confusion. Current mood: tired.
Well, it is now 15 short days until I hit The Fleet. Watch out Fleet! Here I come! Wish that I was as confident as that sounded. Why is it that I have felt more doubts since I joined the Marine Corps than pretty much any other time in my life? Between the PT sessions, power point presentations, classes, and simulator time, I have probably learned more in the last year than most people learn in a lifetime. I cannot imagine where I was a year ago today. (OCS) Filled out the paperwork to start the moving process today. I hope I can get time off for my friend Cammie's wedding, especially since I am supposed to be in it (don't know if that will happen or not). Once again, I am all over the place, nothing new right? Lots of stuff to do in the next two weeks, it all comes down to this... Current mood:  anxious.
Ok, so somehow this morning I managed to run the absolute worst PFT of my life. I have NEVER run three miles in more than 24 minutes, today's time was... well, let's just say it was completely unsatisfactory. And crunches, well let's just not go there. I have to re-run it in two weeks (which I would have had to do anyways seeig as the Marines run it every couple weeks anyway. What the hell is wrong with me? I cannot even run a 1st class PFT? Who the hell am I and what did I do with Rosy? She is the one who doesn't know how to quit. I think I might have lost her somewhere in the mix at TBS. If someone has seen her can you please comment or tell her to come home? Current mood:  pissed off.
well, we spent our first 4 hours in the simulators last night from 9 pm to about 1 am. i only crashed two planes, and you can be sure i wont make that same mistake again. i have to go tell the marine corps how they underpaid me now and see if we can get it figured out. i also just finished two amazing books by james bradley, flags of our fathers and flyboys. at first, i didnt think much of flyboys, but at the end of the novel, i had chills all up and down my spine. i tell you what, those are 14 incredible stories between the two books. i am still stunned. another night in the simulators tonight, and we will see what happens, hopefully no more fireballs. |
