Fluenza
I come home expecting that I can finally rest up from this cold I've had for the entire time I've been at basic (eight weeks) and now I have flu-like symptoms: chills, massive soreness in entire body, losing my throat from coughing so much...oh, and my body feels heavy. Usually that is at some point followed by vomiting, for which I prepared an empty trash can next to my bed. Great... Mum's chicken soup is pretty bland but it should help. I hope Acai does also, because I had a thick liquid dose of it from some fancy bottle. Orange juice has been no help, I think, because I'm in this state. Oh I hurt so bad... I'm thinking the extra sit ups I did at kung fu last night didn't help because I got quite lightheaded and nauseous afterwards [sigh] Fantastic... I just hope I recover quickly before I return to basic as there are about two weeks left and the things we're doing aren't going to be inside... Imagine that, flue + freezing cold = -|X|, X being only a specific number of things. I can't believe I just referred to an odd mathematical equation, I must being going nuts! [lol] Enough complaining for now.

Christmas Block Leave!!!
Hello again everyone!
Those eight long weeks seem like they've been smushed together and the day I arrived home, it felt like I never left. It doesn't feel like I missed eight weeks of my family's and friends' lives, but I know that I have. I know I will miss much, much more.
When I feel up to it, I plan on compiling all of my journal entries which I wrote to my folks at home, editing them, and typing them out on this blog. It probably won't happen right away as I'm enjoying freedom right now, but it most likely will happen before I leave. Hopefully I'll stop feeling like there's still a drill sergeant over my shoulder. It's freaking me out, honestly!
I woke up this morning on the dot at 04:30 like clockwork. In SC that would be 07:30, and I went to bed at around 12:00 last night, which is 03:00 EST. So, about four hours of sleep later, when I usually get about six hours, I happen to wake up at 04:30 PST? Honestly, this biological clock may have start running for the first time in my life, but that's just creepy. Can anyone explain this at all?! [lol] All I know is, I woke up, and there's no getting back to sleep for me. I'm up for good. Weird...
God bless you all!
