26 July 05

Hello Hello. It's been a few days since I've blogged. Keep those guesses a comin' for my date of arrival home! Good job to Kimmy for "copy paste, copy paste," the answers from mom and Ames. The answer is correct. That took a bit longer. Last night we got done with all of our connexes. We did have a finish date of 31 August, but they needed us to finish faster, so they told us 31 July, and that wasn't good enough, so we had to be done by 27 July, and we managed to beat it by a day. At least night shift (me) don't have to go out and clean up all the sandbags around the generator. Have fun day shift (Andrew and Jen). We are supposed to be getting things all packed away shortly. Hopefully, everything moves along nicely. So I was told that I will be Home-Home by 1 Sept. So change your guesses, and Michelle, get on that betting board. I can only say that because of security reasons. No need to get attacked this late in the game, if you know what I'm saying. Oh so here is a funny story. So, I am taking online courses this fall from DSU which is connected to all online schools in SD, one of them being USD. When I went to get signed up for them here, they told me that I was the first soldier in ALL OF EUROPE to take a class from there EVER! Can you believe that?!? I didn't know whether I should be proud or ashamed. Whatever, it's free money. That's all I care about. I am hoping that I don't have to work until I leave. That would be sweet. I have a week and a half left of class which is going to kick my butt. I haven't started my 6 page paper due Friday, and I have another 8 page paper due next friday. Pretty much I am going to be really crabby. What's new? I made some Velveeta Shells and Cheese last night for supper at 10:45pm. It was pretty good. I brought my left overs (Em, Rae- I know you are surprised that I had any.) down to Andrew. I think he liked it. Enough procrastinating. I need to start the homework. Accronym: (Call out to the "CP" and get the "POC" from the "MPs" for this convoy coming in.) This statement would never actually happen, but it works. Have a great day!
