So I need to come up with five images for my final project and I have three solid ideas that I want to work with. Two of my ideas have to do with trees. I don't know why. Maybe I am a closet tree hugger. I am frustrated that I haven't gotten any grades from my WEEK 2 projects and it has been nine days since I turned those in. I think this may be one of the longest waits for grades I have ever run into.
I don't remember mentioning this but my wife is pregnant. She is due late August so I may have to cancel August's class. Possibly September class. Sam is going to need me. I hate missing class but this is too important. Thank goodness for paternal leave.
Talking to a member of my church the other day has made me really want to think about getting out of the military. The man I talked to at church, I really thought he was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force, turns out he is only an E-5 and he is now planning on getting out of the military. Getting out means that I really want to finish school by the time I am done here in Texas. That makes me a little scared to think about. I could get out and get a government job or go right into something my degree will lead me towards. I know I can make more money as a civilian with my job experience in the military but it doesn't interest me as much as a film editing job or anything that has to do with my degree path will take me. Maybe I can do those things on the side. I think this is what every military man thinks about. Ironically, I write this very blog on Memorial Day 2012. Seems inappropriate to talk about leaving the military on a day like this. I will just retain a portion of my mind centered on those who are standing the watch in Afghanistan or those that are still in Iraq however small numbers they may be. We should think about, and not just on Memorial Day, those who are knowingly going into hostile terrain who run towards it like a finish line.
Well I can't think of nothing more to say, it had just seemed like it had been a while since I published anything, it does help just writing this to keep going with school.
