My oh my, what a week it has been.

this week has had me feeling angry, sad, excited, impatient, hopeful and a little embarrassed, all at different times. the negative feelings are mostly reserved for within the camp compound, while the rest is for outside camp. let's go into details:

even though i have only 5 (or 3 working) weeks left in camp, army life is becoming less and less bearable. it's mainly due to that certain someone's antics, which have levelled-up over the weeks. but that's not all. recently, other things have come into play. these other things are trivial compared to the major pain, but they're still rather depressing nonetheless. i just want to get out of army fast. is that really so hard?

the other (mostly positive) emotions are due to life after army. the only negative emotion attached to this is impatience, since i have to ORD first before i can execute any of these plans! the worst thing is, they sound so do-able and fun, and that's probably what's making the remainder of army seem like a drag. in fact, i'm highly anticipating 2 such plans, namely giving tuition and assistant coaching. the rough outlines have been drawn already, and we just have to smoothen the details out as we get closer to the start date.

in anticipation of my ORD, i've come up with a checklist of things i have to do before i can ORD in peace. it looks something like this:

1. Blood FFI

2. Dental FFI

3. Final FFI

4. Hand over all job scope

5. Write farewell emails to certain people

6. Clear all personal belongings from bunk and office

7. Sign clearance forms

8. Impart last words of wisdom

so far, i've done 1 and 4. i'm also midway through 2, 5, and 8. other than this, there isn't anything much left for me to do in camp, except to accept the odd arrow in preparation for the upcoming exercise (for which i'm thankfully not going outfield). oh well. 5 more weeks. definitely passable.

-random thought of the day: I'm getting really sian of army life.-
