So Thanksgiving is coming up and I can't wait. I'm going home for the first time since October 3,2008. Yes. I know it's exciting. I get to take my puppy Radha home with me. Not to mention I bought my neighbor a dog for Christmas. Radha is a 3 1/2 month old Shih-Tzu. The neighbors dog happens to be Radha's grandma. She's 7 years old and named Prissy. Both can be very playful at times but Prissy is an amazing lapdog. And yes, both are SPOILED ROTTEN. I'm so excited to be getting to see my family and I can't wait. This next week is going to be torture. I leave on the 20th for Florida and come back on the 6th. Hopefully I'll also be able to take leave for Christmas. Mojave viper aka deployment training is coming up in January so I won't be on for then. But.. I should be back by February. Thank God. Anyways.. sorry for not being on too often. Laptops lagging really bad and freezing. Not to mention alot of work to do. Deployment classes to complete and so on and so forth. We had our ball last thursday. That was a blast. And yes.. I had a few drinks but nothing overly drastic. Not to mention I actually danced. That was horrible to think about the next day. Guess I made a complete fool of myself in front of my chain of command but oh well.. they did the same thing.

I'm rearranging my deviant art accounts. I currently have 3 of them. My pictures are going to stay on my einsicht account since they are the most numerous. My stories I've decided to move to OneCriesAlone [link] . Whereas my poems are going to be moved to VackerVargunge [link] . I'm sorry if this is an inconveniance to you but for me this will aid in organization.

So yeah. It's been an okay day I guess. We finally finished our field work. Took our pft yesterday and just barely passed. Test out for my gray belt for MCMAP soon. Highly doubt I will get it. But I got promoted to Lance Corporal today. E-3 if you don't know. So I had to take my uniforms down to get them fixed. Should be able to pick them up by the 11th with the new rank sewn on which is great. Graduate August 19th and leave for Cherry Point, North Carolina on the 20th. Can't wait but I'm going to miss California. Hopefully I will be back home in Florida around December on leave so I can visit my family. From what I have heard there is a go tournament in Raleigh in October and I plan on going. Other than that not much happening here.
