This weekend has been very fun. I got a chance to hang out with my favorite cousin, Ashely. She's a cadet at West Point military academy. She came down for Spring Break with her sorority sisters--Gammas--for a nice long week partly on a cruise and on land in the Bahamian islands. From what I was told they apparently had a wildly fun and exciting time. I spent the last two days of their break with them here in South Florida. It was seven girls and me; six of them West Point cadets, and one an officer. We talked often about the army and what we plan and hope to do. They had a good number of questions for me about having enlisted and what I'll be doing. I explained how I'll go to OCS later to be an officer, since I can't do it now (and definitely will be doing so after serving a year--at least I hope I can.) Anyway, we seemed to click immediately and really have fun together these last two days. Next year we plan to hang out together for Spring Break. We just have to figure out where. It should be fun....if I don't get deployed. (On a side note, I really need to call my unit to see what the schedule is for deployment. I kinda doubt I'll get deployed right after basic training, but we'll see. I'm learning as I go.)

Oh! And I'm still sore from the hard run that Taneshina and I did yesterday morning. OMG! lol
