What Drill?
Ha! I did everything yesterday I wasn’t supposed to do. One Margarita and five shots of Tequila. Everyone found out that it was my birthday and bought me drinks. That wasn’t it too. I danced. A LOT. But get this – they had this dance circle going. I was supposed to dance with every girl…
My Birthday
Today was my birthday! But tomorrow I have drill… and a PT test. Argh! Of course, it HAD to be on the day of my birthday. I was planning to have a great time too… We’re having a fundraiser today at this restaurant called Peruanitos. I won’t be staying all that late and I won’t…

Company Webmaster
The last few days have been fun. I am actually going to miss this place. My buddy and I have suddenly become the company webmasters! So I’ve been able to get access to machines! I think that’s pretty cool because it puts me back on track to come back to school. One of my drill…
