My Journey from [Civilian] to {Soldier}

4 Days

Crap, I think I’m going to have a damn nervous breakdown.  Four days and counting, and I haven’t even gotten to see Levi since the football game.  I’m SO not packed.  My room is a mess.  I have to take a damn PT test tomorrow, and another one Monday with Ssg Horn.  Definitely not looking forward to that.  I pretty much suck at life right now.  All I want is a hug from Levi.  And to find my purse, which is nowhere to be seen.  Scratch that, found it.

I desperately want to leave things very organized.  That way when I get home, I know where everything is and I don’t have to unpack everything I own to find one thing.

I’m trying to weigh the differences between the Mac Book and the Mac Book Pro, wondering if it’s worth the gigantic price difference.  When I get home for Christmas I have to get gifts for the following people:

My Mom

John

My Dad

Maureen

Josh

Mike

Amber

CJ

Jason

Brian

Mikey

Jacob

Not to mention I have to bring a nice bottle of wine or champagne to my Grandmothers house on Christmas Eve, and a bottle of wine to my Dad’s house on Christmas.  I also need to pay the Niagara University bill, as well as the Key Bank bill.

Before I leave I need to send a letter to each creditor stating that in February I am going to set up a payment plan to start paying them off and that I will be in basic training for the United States Army until then and will be unable to pay.  Maybe that will keep them from taking my money.

When I get out of AIT, I’m going to the Apple Store and buying a Mac Book Pro, 15.4 inches.  Then I’m going to buy a X-box 360 Elite.  Then a flat panel TV and a DVD player.  Halo 3, America’s Army.  I can’t freaking wait.

Not to mention bedding, towels, clothes.   I’ll finally be able to afford nice shampoo and nice products.  Good makeup, nice perfume.

When it comes to makeup, I’m fairly certain I’ll be going with all Mac products.  Especially for their eyeshadow, they have more colors than a girl could ever even dream of.

Oh yea, I’ll also get a new Ipod.  The new Nano.  Not to mention I’ll have to get a wireless mouse, and iWork ‘08 for the Mac.  Also a notebook case to carry my laptop in.

Im going to have to go clothes shopping when I get to my duty station.  I wont be bringing much in the way of clothes with me from my house.  You’re only allowed just so much baggage on the plane and theres really no clothes here that I like enough to drag onto a plane.  A few things obviously like my hoodies.  Especially this new black nike one I got the day after the Broncos game.  I’ll also bring things like all my pictures, and all the important stuff thats in the shoebox and the treasure chest I got for my graduation.  A few of my coffee mugs if I can manage to get them in my carryon.  Or I could just ship those and hope they don’t bust.  I’ll only need one or two.   Plus the travel mug my mom got me from the Celestial Seasonings plant.  I’ll probably bring some books, but not a lot.  My  PS2 of course, can’t forget that.  Oh yea, I’ll have to bring my big box of bills lol.  Oh and all my yarn.  I guess I could leave that at home, and just buy new stuff when I decide to make something.  I want to learn to quilt, and since I’ll have the money to do so, I wonder if I’ll be able to swing it in the barracks lol.
