It's Been AWHILE

Well I'm home for Thanksgiving Break. mmm, it sure is good to be here. I only have about 2 more days here before I gotta head back, but it's been a great break. There's really no place like home.. I'm not sure what exactly it is about this place, but I love it.

So I haven't been posting much since I've been gone, lol, in the back of my mind I kinda knew that was going to happen. However, I hope that I can quickly recap the last few months. The 1st week, Hell Week, wasn't too bad, I quickly was able to adjust into ECHO Company. Our company won Regimental Commander's Bowl during Cadre period (the first two months of training).. we have the best attrition rate, PT scores, close-order drill, and knob knowledge scores.. so that's pretty neat. I have been PTing every morning with a Pre-SEAL group on campus.. It's pretty hardcore, we do alot of fun PT stuff. Swim twice a week, run twice a week, along with plenty and plenty of stationary PT with Log workouts and Obstacle course days.. Overall, I love the Citadel. It's constantly challenging me physically, mentally, and mostly spiritually. I have grown in my faith since I've been here; I really feel as if God is calling me to serve Him at the Citadel.. maybe even after I graduate. I love the constant pace of things, always intense, always on the go. But at the same time it sucks.. I'm homesick sometimes, I get tired of being in a way.. "locked-up" on campus all week, and being kinda dessensitized from normal things and stuff. It definately embodies the meaning of a LOVE-HATE thing. But I'm only 2 weeks away from Christmas break.. just gotta get through finals and a couple of papers and I'll be through. THEN I'LL BE HALF-WAY DONE. wow, that's motivating. Time has flown, its incredible to look back and see everything I've already gone through.. How drastically my life has changed from being at home.. and then gettin' out on my own. But it's been fun. I look forward to the challenge.
