Happy Veteran's Day to my dad, and every other man/woman that has or is serving. I'm so out of touch with things. I didn't even know about Veteran's Day this year until my mom told me she had today off because she works at a military high school. My dad spent 30 years in the Air Force...I spent 16 years living that whole different way of life. I've been around other military kids for so much of my life that now that I have friends who have no idea what it's about I feel weird, and have no way of explaining all the feelings that go along with it. I can kind of explain it to JC because he grew up in a really small country town, and I grew up on an AF base, which was it's own little town. No need to travel out into the big city at all. I know some bases are more intertwined with the city where it resides, and the kids go to public schools and stuff, but that's not how Lackland works. I miss it a little bit. I miss reminiscing about all the weird little intricacies that make me and other people military BRATS!
Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...
