So I guess I'll come back to this. You know when sometimes you just feel like you need to come back to something. Even if its futile, well that's this. I always seem to end up back here after a pivotal change. Recently I've undergone quite the transition. And it wasn't even that recent honestly. The last six months have been some of the craziest in my life. I've become a Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy. There's so much to say about this place that I'll have material for plenty of posts. Though there's no telling when I'll find time again to post something or another. But I have time for now.
Look at me!
This place is really crazy you know. Things are so different from before. I sorely miss the way things used to be, but I know this is good. This is one of those exercises in delayed gratification. The delay on this is quite defined though...
To say that I've changed a little is an understatement. I've moved different countries, joined the military, met a whole new group of people, reunited with people I never expected to see again, found amazing new people I never would have otherwise met, learned insane things, gotten so much leaner and fitter than I ever could have managed on my own, and so much more. Not to even start on the classes and everything. There's so much here. I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to have my ass royally kicked by this institution. I'm fully aware that it's by no means perfect, but hey, its the Academy. What is there to say? I paid too much for this? Well, no. I didn't pay anything yet. I didn't ask for this? Well, actually I did. I raised my hand and took that oath of my own free will. And yeah I know some upperclass or salty alumni is going to read this and have a cynical view like oh you naive little plebe. But go ahead. Someone has to still love this place and put their heart into if they won't.
So now that I've satisfied that little rant, have fun Chickadees. It's wine Wednesday after all!
