Disclaimer About Updates

I have obviously fallen way behind on updating. I do plan to go in and post-date entries for as much as I remember, but my internet connection right now leaves much to be desired and it's preventing me from updating efficiently. Instead, I'm going to give you the quick-and-dirty rundown of the last couple of months, then start updating from today. Later, when I have better conditions, I'll post-date and the journal will read seamlessly.

Here's the scoop:
April 19th - Got married. Beautiful wedding. Short honeymoon at Broker Inn, longer honeymoon planned for after deployment.

May 5th - Finished semester. Decent grades on the classes I actually finished.

May 12-15 - Army radio class with Pvt McLovin and PFC Jade, good refresher, got to know people a bit better.

May 19-23 - Vacation with Ashley and Dad in Pagosa Springs timeshare. Nice to relax.

May 24 - Jeannie's Graduation. Great day.

June 1 - Start full time Army. Working in Denver, sleeping home at night. PFC Jade fell out for medical reasons, no replacement yet.

June 9 - Fly to Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin for Reserve Training Center, 3 week course on individual Warrior Tasks like marksmanship, urban ops and convoys.

June 29 - Fly back to Denver. Again, working in Denver every day, sleeping at home.

July 3-6 - Four-day pass. Fireworks and farewell party.

July 11 - Active duty orders start, lasting 400 days.

July 14 - Farewell ceremony. Emotional. Fly to Ft. McCoy for mobilization processing and validation.

July 19-20 - Base defense classes and exercises.

July 25-26 - Computer system class

HL2!!!!!!

So I ended up staying up until about 1 AM on Monday night to try and wait for Half-Life 2 to unlock, but 1) I didn't realize that to unlock it I'd need to restart the update program, and 2) I think I left about 5 minutes before it actually did unlock. But that's ok, because I had class the next morning. So Tuesday morning I turned on the computer and let HL2 unlock while I was in class. Then I raced home (as fast as the speed limit would allow, of course) and sat down and got my first taste of the finished product. The anticipation was definitely worth it! Aside from eating and class, it's been almost my sole activity for the past 2 days! Let me just add, I HATE HEAD-CRAB ZOMBIES! But its still cool. Oh yeah, I got a B on my last Spanish test that I took Monday, but I still feel pretty comfortable. I've been keeping my overall grade high enough that I should be OK. FRCC finally released their spring schedule yesterday, and aren't starting registration until the...

Tired

Getting sleepy, but I had to inform everyone that I start at Transportation Services on Monday. Cool, huh? Oh yeah, and my car died at school, so now I have to get up early and acutally take the bus. And I had a brilliant idea, and now I have to find/make web badges for CU, if not a couple of other schools. Woo! Go me and my little fads. G'night everyone, gotta get up early and run in the morning.

Yay! I got balloons last night! I was QA'd twice ...

Yay! I got balloons last night! I was QA'd twice last night (a Quality Assurance person listened to my calls and graded them), and I got 100% on both of them! That made me happy. I feel pretty comfortable on the phones, but the night never seems to end. Maybe being on the later shift will help pass the time. We'll see. I was not ready for chemistry this morning. I had no homework, and no lab goggles or long pants for the lab day. I was prepared for a very bad day. However, I was able to buy goggles in the student store, and he never asked for the homework, so it wasn't as horrible as I had thought. Money Money Money ! After a season of financial drought, I'm finally getting a little back. My parents sent what I asked for, and I should be getting my paycheck thru direct deposit tonight. Yes Mom, I plan on saving some. I'm even sending $50 of every paycheck to my New Mexico account by the direct deposit setup, so I can't touch it unless I really need it! Oh we...
