The paperwork

Well I turned in the majority of my paper work yesterday afternoon. Little did I know that I would be trapped there for an hour writing short essay after short essay. I had to write why I wanted to work on nuclear engines, why I dropped a class, why I have a tattoo and so on. It was a bit ridiculous. I don't remember why I dropped class XYZ 3 years ago. All I know is that I thought it was a good idea at the time. Maybe the professor was a pain in the ass, maybe there were no cute girls in the class, who knows maybe the stars told me to do it. Yet they wanted me to write about some unknown event. *sigh* At least that's done and now the waiting game has started for the last few documents to arrive. Sadly they are in the hands on my high school which is a tad frightening as they can prove to be quite dense. Hopefully they will be quick so that I can start round two of the waiting game as I wait for boot camp.

Time to set sail

So I have decided, that after having my teaching livelihood ripped out from under me due to state budget problems, to join the Navy. The new current plan is to join and train to work on nuclear ship engines. Hopefully that plan goes well, but who knows its the military after all.
But first I have this monster of a packet to fill out about my whole life. Maybe I should just upload that to here instead of writing this. At least that would insure that I didn't miss any details. Its taken a few days to get all of the info together just to be able to turn this thing in. At least the beast is nearly finished so I can then move onto the waiting game of deployment.
