The Point of No Return

Listening to: Static-X
Feeling: burdened
So next week I have to travel up to boston to get my physical to even see if i can qualify to be in the Army. I'm going to stay at a hotel near the airport friday night. I'm not sure if I'll be roomed with someone or not but I'm told my curfew is at ten so I guess I can chill out for a while while I'm there. I will have to wake up at 4 a.m. on Saturday and then go to where ever it is i have to go to get my physical. Apparently it is going to take all day, or at least a good amout of it. Before that though i have to visit my recruiter to go over some things about my medical history before we even go. Think of this as one big ass job application/interview. I'm really nervous yet very excited about it. Being a soldier is something I've always wanted, and as it comes closer to becoming a reality I can't help but be very nervous. I'm affraid I wont be good enough and that no one will like me and that I will never move up in rank. To be completely honest I'm not affraid to die or be shot at, although i must admit I would go into a spiral depression if i lsot a limb. Soldiering is something I have always wanted to do and I will see to it that i go through with it because it is an experience of a life time and I want stories to tell my kids and their kids in the years to come, I want my life to mean something, to me. There is one person I look up to, I have read his book. Jason hartley started an online blog about his deployment in Iraq. Although the Army made him take the site down for a while he still wrote about his experiences and he has sicne put the site back up. (www.JustAnotherSoldier.com) I am looking into doing something similar liek him. I have promised my mom that I'd start a journal (which I have, but not this one) but I feel that it would be much easier to have a small website that i can type out my experiences and feelings. If anyone has any information on where i can do such a thing could you let me know?
