Emotions

It’s an unusual concoction of emotions I’m feeling today, on the eve of the day I go to MEPS.  48 hours from now I’ll be sitting in MEPS, already having sworn in.  I keep thinking I should be dreading my departure, but I feel oddly eager to get there.  On a basic and immediate level I’m fairly nervous, but I also feel an inexplicable excitement and undeniable optimism about the future.  It’s hard for me to admit that most of what I feel is positive, for fear that I’ll later regret my naivete.
