Well, it's been another one of those nights/days. Way too long, and all I want to do is sleep.
P.T. went really well this morning, my sit-ups are finally coming back to me. Let's hope the push-ups follow! The reason my numbers have been so low isn't because of weakness, it's soreness, and a lack of fuel to burn. When it's been over 12 hours since we've eaten, and we have to do that much physical exercise, our bodies are quite weak. So that's my excuse for the evening!
Today really wasn't bad. 6 hours of classes with a good instructor, so I really can't complain. Pretty much once this week is over, we're there. Beast next week, 7th week is final evals for everything, and prepping for graduation, and 8th week is... well... GRADUATION!
We're so close! 3 weeks, 3 days. Just have to hold on.
So, I was thinking about what you said earlier, and I think you're absolutely right. I decided I want to pass on getting a laptop, because I have a lot of more important things that I want to save up for first! I have more things to talk to you about, but I have E.C. duty in about an hour, so it's time for a cat nap, then hopefully more writing then, but if not, then I love you, and goodnight!

Alright, so I've got some time, Hello!
This letter is coming to you from the main hallway. I can't tell you just how much I hate E.C. shifts. 2 hours in the middle of the night when I need to be working on my area for an inspection. By the way, the reason my handwriting is super bad right now is that I'm standing and writing.
I should not be writing at all, but I don't care! I just want to write to you.
So, it's quite entertaining, the dorms hang over the ground pads, which are asphalt, and apparently, the asphalt feels extra-comfy. For the past few days, when we're down there, squirrels will come up on the asphalt and sprawl out on their stomachs and sleep. It is quite entertaining.
This place has sadly become all too familiar to me. It feels like home now, and I don't want to associate this place with home/comfort. I want to go home, I want to be at my house, I want to sleep in my bed, I want to eat my food, and most of all, I was want to be with you, to spend countless hours just hanging out around Norman with you, where entire weekends fly by in a matter of minutes because I'm having so much fun with you. But I know that staying here is what will make me stronger in the big picture, so I will tough out these last few weeks, just for you!T
here's so much that I want with my future. I want to have a fulfilling future, where I have a strong marriage and a strong family. For a random dream I have: I can't wait for the first Thanksgiving after I've been married, where both the families will be there, and it will be one giant, breathtaking moment of true unity and fellowship with everybody (I know all of this is very deep, but it's the middle of the night, this is the kinda conversations you end up with!) I don't want to be one of the all too-common couples today where people look at them and all they see is a disillusioned couples with short-term plans and money problems. Couples that, if they're lucky, MIGHT make it another 5 years. I want them to see my relationship/marriage and see that I've fought and struggled and sacrificed to make it the best it can possibly be, and I want to be able to be a lifelong example so show that happily married couples can, and do still exist, and for me to be an encouragement to others to try harder in their own relationships if they feel them starting to fail/not be what they could potentially be.
Lol, I'm sorry that I went on that rather weird rant. I just wanted you to know that I am truly wanting a promising future, and I have no desire to be a lifelong playboy or somebody that just dates whoever puts up with them. I plan on always keeping my standards high, which I hope that's what you want/do as well! You really have been the one girl that I feel like I've dreamed and prayed about for so many years, just having found you is nothing short of amazing.
Allright, enough of all that mush. Does any of this mushy goop bother you? If it does, I can cut it out, I just want you to know that the Bailey you started dating is still alive and datable... I'm not some empty jarhead that only knows how to follow orders or anything now.
So, tomorrow, we have to wake up at 0415 to get ready to eat breakfast and catch our bus. My E.C. shift ends at 0030, and I've not slept yet :(. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, but at least it's just CPR.
So, I think some time in either late December or January, I want to go back to IKEA. I want to find some cool furnishings for my apartment, and I'm sure you'd find some more stuff for your place as well. I'm also going to look into taking a few extra classes at OCCC (just for kicks) when I get back. Hopefully they'll have some classes open. Did you know that I actually earn college credit at Basic/Tech school? I get 16 hours from Basic, and I don't know how many from tech school.
The Air Force also has a really cool test-taking program. You go in, pick a college class, then they give you a study guide to well, study, then you take the 100 multiple choice question test, and if you pass, you get credit for that class. Is that not amazing??!
So, before I go, I figured out the reason my letter take a bit longer to mail out than yours do. Take this letter for example. Although I'm writing it on Monday, I can't place it in the mail box until after dinner on Tuesday (the next day, between 1630-1800), and mail doesn't get picked up until 1430, so it has to sit in the mailbox until Wednesday.
So there you go. Well, my shift is nearly over, and I want to write Dad real quick. Goodnight Lauren!
