From Mach 3 to a Snail's Pace

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 8, 2009, 12:50 PM


It's strange to look back at the last four weeks, which ironically seems as though it lasted for far longer, and realize how intense things really were.

Not a week ago, we were all over the place doing everything, and then I had to go and sprain my ankle rather badly. Next thing I know I'm out of training because I could not miss any classes and I had a lovely pair of 'gimp-sticks' (crutches) that the base hospital had given me.

Needless to say, it kind of puts a cramp in things.

So I went from mach 3, inspections, PT, and timings galore... to actually being forced to sit in a room and do NOTHING for about a week.

Never quite realized before how forcing one to do nothing is quite a psychological weapon. But I suppose I had my choice of things to do: I could stay in one room and play 'Risk' all day, or watch the same movies over and over again in the other room.

... I'm so glad to be out of there.

However! Now that I have been transferred back to my (half) home unit, I am free to basically do what I wish throughout the day, and this means good things to those I owe commissions to and all that unfinished art I have otherwise begging to be completed.

So! Although this journal is ridiculously short in regards to all I've done in the past... 6 or so months, it will have to do for now I think.

Over and Out :3

P.S: Testin' out this nifty journal skin thinger. Will probably make my own later but I'm tired of the same bland thing.

Sprained ankle! that's no fun :< and what's this about mach 3? Is that a program name or have you been traveling in something at that speed? if its the latter I'm insanely jealous XD

hope the ankle is doing much better and happy to hear that you got to return to your unit and things are going well again. I wish you the best of luck on your journey's and training.

And I do like the journal skin. I might pick and over all darker bg pic though as at times the planet clashes with the font...though i think the bg pic alone still looks cool. the whole thing certainly has a Lt. Chi feeling to it though :D

Ah the Basic program we were taking was basically going at mach 3. The days went by so quickly and there was little time for breaks. I wish it was the latter though, lol.

Yeah the ankle is doing better. It still aches from time to time and I can't move it some directions but it's not bruised or extremely swollen anymore.

As for the journal skin, it's one I got off the site here. I plan on tweeking it to have my own style and images, but for now it'll do. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger, so I suppose it's a little bit of my childhood showing through.

ahh gotchya. kinda Like my AP classes at school. near the end of the year we found out that these college level classes were not only college level. but we were covering two years worth of material in just under one year.

Well that's good. hope you heal up real well and quick ^^

Ahh, okay. Well I look forward to when you add your own flare to it. I could picture you as wanting to be an astronaut. I don't know why. I just can :)
