Well, as you know, I recently began the nursing program at Montcalm Community College. I'm loving my labs, but the theory class is extremely boring. The teacher is nice enough, but she rambles on and on. Altogether, school is actually going wonderully. I received B's in both my communications class and my nutrition class. Of course, I probably could've done better. Note to self and others: Do NOT go to the casino the night before a test!
On another note, I've been very down in the dumps lately. I actually love my life very much, but I keep feeling something is missing. I think I finally realized what it is, in a sense. Since I've been home from deployment, my life has had many changes, and it wasn't until recently that I noticed that I hadn't been handling the changes very well. I thought I had actually been holding up quite well. However, since I came home, my dog died, Tory and Lee moved (and I saw them everyday before that), I had a baby, my dad passed away, etc. These are just the beginning of all the life changes that have occurred since I've been home. During deployment, I had constant friendship, aka my "battles." Also, I had stability. I knew what I was doing and what days and times I would be doing those things. My life was very scheduled, and I preferred that. But on top of everything, I spent everyday with the same people, and since coming home, I rarely ever am able to see these people. I miss them terribly. They were my buddies, my coworkers, my stability, my shoulders, and most of all, my family. Don't get me wrong, my friends I've had throughout the years mean just as much to me, but I get to see you all more frequently (minus Tory and Kristin, with whom I keep in excellent contact via the internet lol). It's just when you see the same people day in and day out, and then BOOM, you don't see them anymore. It's hard. I have missed them terribly, and as the days go by, I jus keep missing them more and more. I look forward to weekends in Battle Creek (Ft. Custer) and Grayling (Camp Grayling), so that I may see some of them.
To be continued...(class is almost over)
