Ahhh!!!! I got to call home today and I had about 30 minutes to spend on the phone. I was able to talk to both mom and dad. Unlike last time, this was a good phone call. I think since I had more time to talk it made it less emotional. I found out that my parents finished the basement project and it turned out really nice-can't wait to come home and see it. I also found out that my poor little Jackson has caught a cold. I guess like father, like son. I'm still suffering from my cold but I think it may be getting better. I told my parents they need to tuck him into bed and put my fleece blanket over him-he gets cold really easily.
I'm so excited to see my family in 15 days. I've missed them so much and I'm so fortunate they are making the trek all the way from South Dakota. I owe them big time. Maybe I'll take them out to dinner in Chicago on my graduation day.
Not much new here at boot camp. Still alot of sitting and waiting, and marching. Today we got a second round of shots and one of the ones they put in my arm hurt terribly. I feel like I can barely lift my arm. After that we got our 3rd haircut and my lady just shaved it all off agian cause I'm so thin on top. Oh well.
On a side note, it's amazing all the different ways people eat. I've probably seen a dozen different ways to peel a banana! I guess thats what you get when you put people from all different places and walks of life together.
We're all counting down the days and getting excited for graduation. I finally got the top to my dress blue uniform. So now it's complete. It's going to stink wearing it at graduation-it's all wool- very hot. At least it looks cool.
I'm getting excited about Corpsman school. I've heard from other HM's that it isn't that hard. So I'm hoping they're right. Those are good skills to have.
Alright, letter writing time is almost over, so I'm going to finish up. R :)
