I smile to myself as I read his words. The words he wrote to me. I am put first. Amazing...I had forgotten what it was like to feel this good. Sometimes I need to remind myself that it’s not the actions of others that make you feel the way you do, it’s way you allow yourself to feel about those actions. And I am allowing myself to feel good. Very good. And hopeful. And...secure. I’ve known him a week, and I already feel so close to him. Maybe it’s because I can talk to him. Whatever it is I like it. Army: I was okayed to ship out to basic early. I could leave for basic in three weeks. But I’m not going to. I don’t think I meet my weight requirement, I can’t run, and I want to leave as an E-3. So...I will be here until July 5th. Actually, I need to go to MEPS on the 4th, but I’ll leave for basic the 5th. Grafix Class: I have actually begun a project. I haven’t done any work in MONTHS! However, the play that VTC is doing has made me start my newpaper project. We’re supposed to put together a newspaper page, on whatever we want, and however we want. So...the play VTC is doing is called ‘Bang Bang You’re Dead.’ It’s about high-school shootings. I went online the other day and looked up school shootings. I got a lot of information, a few time-lines, and a lot of other interesting info. So that is what my page will be on. Instead of doing it on a computer like we’re supposed to do, I’m going to make my own paper (I think) and do a collage for it. YAY!!! Semi-motivated. Mark will motivate me as well, ‘cause he’s all hyped on this subject now.
