Sorry that's it's been a few days since I have blogged. I'm such a working girl now that I don't seem to have time to sleep let alone check my e-mail and surf the net. I'm really excited because I have tonight off...ah, a wonderful 36 hours without having to deal with connexes, dirt, dust, canisters, JList, and crazy NCOICs...well, one anyway. I have finished my first online class completely except for filming my last speech. I'll probably do that sometime this weekend. I'll have to take an incomplete until my teacher receives it. Hey, I have some super awesome news...well, most of it is great! I finally got my days of my R&R Leave this morning. My days are 17 Sep to 4 Oct. This sucks a bit because I'll miss my 21st Birthday by 5 days, but Malzey, it is on a Monday, so I should be home by the weekend. We'll go out Saturday or sunday or something! The other crazy thing is that Andrew wasn't supposed to get his leave until the middle of Oct., but his is the same days as mine. Talk about a good 24 hour flight home! Only one girl out of my entire company has leave after us. Talk about the last pick. They moved everyone whose leave is supposed to be in Oct. to Sep., so my guess is they want us all to get it in the case that we get to leave early. CSM is Command Sergeant Major...nice job to all of you who did so well. The next one is "DFAC". Good luck. Mallory, don't answer right away because I know you know the answer. I want to see other people's answers first. I best be getting to bed. I've been up for 22 hours straight. Got to love the ARMY! Later.

67 days until leave...I know it is sad.
