Got my new car, Oh yea. 1993 red Ford Escort. $2250. Not bad at all. I'm just scared to drive late at night...

Isn't she lucky? Yea, I guess so. Okay, here's what happened: I was REALLY tired... I shouldn't've been, but I was. It sucked. I was ALMOST home. I didn't mean to close my eyes, but obviously I did. The next thing I know I hit the curb and my eyes flew open and I was swerving and I tried to right my car, but no such luck. I remember screaming tires and then flipping over and heading for trees. I remember then sitting on my ceiling and screaming for help. I was sort of in shock at that point. I don't think that I had been wearing my seat belt, now that I think about it. As soon as I flipped over, I remember tumbling and sitting on the ceiling. I decided it best not to try and open the doors, so I began to open my window and a man showed up. He asked me if I was okay, I said yes. He asked me my name and address, I replied. I opened the window a little more and he helped me slide out. I was standing up and saying that I had to call my dad and my recruiter.

Was in car wreck. Will write more later. All praise and glory to God, because I was much luckier than statistics said I should be.

I write in this blog with the hopes that somebody, anybody, will read this and maybe understand me. I'm also setting up a free open diary, because more people read those. It is my sincere hope that there is at least a single person out there who can tell me what is what

Revised NROTC application Essays What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment to date? Not yet written Explain your greatest influence in applying for the NROTC Scholarship Program. All my life, I have been raised around the influence of the military, specifically that of the Navy, as my father was a Navy Chief Petty Officer for twenty years. Many of my friends are in the military or very eager to join. This encourages me to join the ranks of the Armed Forces. Being able to go to school and be in officer training at the same time is a great benefit.(4) Discuss your reasons for wanting to become a naval officer I am eager to serve my country and wear the uniform of the U.S. Naval officer. I believe that I have the talents and skills that could best be utilized in the officer core rather than as an enlisted person. The many benefits to joining the Navy, such as travel and fascinating careers, have also encouraged me to join. I would like to do something worthwhile a

I worked out today for the first time in a few months. Only about 1/2 hour. I hope to eventually work it up to more tough stuff. I'm not very fit. Thin, skinny, does not equal fit. Infact, underweight is bad. My goal is to gain six pounds by December 12th. This gives me one month. I need to begin to start running... a lot. Like get up to three miles. and I have to work on my push ups, sit ups, and pull ups... blah

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll probably spend the rest of your short life screaming noiselessly while hurtling through the infinite nothingness of space. If at first you don't succeed, maybe you were destined for failure

Had only a slightly crappy day. Yay! First, woke up sick. Am still sick. Blah. Work lasted longer than the 8.5 hours the clock swears by. Liar. It was more like 20 hours. Much to long. Headache and sorethroat strived (strove?) to make matters worse. Succeeded brilliantly. Anyway, had dentist appointment after work. Joy. Cathie, dental hygenist, scraped out a good bit of my gum, not really but felt like it, with blood stains to proove it (not really). On the bright side, Christmas is comming up... friends will be coming home from school! Am brutally excited. Considering bounding off walls. No, musn't. Would make headache worse... Hmm, chocolate sounds fun!

I didn't go visit Jeff. Shhh, don't tell anyone. See, I stopped by the recruiter's to hand off some paper work, then to the school to say sup to everyone, then I just started driving, and I decided to drive to Greenwood. I was like, okay, I'll visit Tommy. He's a friend of mine who goes to Lander U. (Where I almost went to school.) I got there and I couldn't find his number. So I turned around and went home. See, actually, I was going to Greenwood though to find Our Lady of Lourdes. I wanted to go to a church and go to adoration, but I didn't want anyone to possibly recognise me. I don't know why. I have a lot of stuff to think about, you know. B/c really, I don't know why I do anything. I mean... WHY really, am I joining the Navy? Why really didn't I go to Lander? I mean, I figured out what I want to do in life... and it's really not possible... I just want to be free . Without anything holding me down. But I want to be able to travel an
