25-28 April

So these past few days haven't really been out of the ordinary. Well except for the fact that I have been overusing coffee lately! Monday morning I was really tired coz I only had about 5 hours of interrupted sleep :P.

Tuesday night I ate about 2 boxes of pizza by myself. My roommate took a few. Wow.... that was probably the most pizza i've had for myself

Yesterday I bought some melatonin to help me sleep. It was a great remedy for sleeping. It's all natural and I had a good night's sleep.

Okay... so I gathered all my naturalization paperwork yesterday. I printed all my stuff at the library.

We've been getting word about cleaning our rooms for inspections the past 2 days. Now it's Thursday and The big boss wants our floors waxed. Fact: There are about 72 rooms in this building and only about 40 people occupy it. Problems??? Everyone has to pitch in! There's 200 people in the company and over half don't live here. Also... there's not that much cleaning material for everyone.

Charleston weekend.

So, after work on Friday, I slept for about 5 hours. I went to get ready for my trip to Charleston afterwards, which was actually spur of the moment. I got to the bus station at about 4 in the morning, my bus left at 5. I had a layover in Columbia and from then it was straight to Charleston.

When I arrived at Charleston, I was in the middle of downtown. I ended up riding the bus for about an hour and a half. First one took me to the airport and the second one took me to Folly Road. Folly Road is a mile off the beach. I took a 20 minute walk to the actual beach. It was really hot out there. I bought a disposable camera on the way to the beach.

It was really nice out there, the waves were crashing, the water was a bit cold, but it was sunny outside. I spetnt about 3 hours at the beach. Then i ate at a pizzeria. Then I headed for the last bus going downtown. I spent a night at a hotel next to the bus station so I wouldn't have any trouble going back home tomorrow.

4/21/2011

So this morning I got up from a good night's sleep. Today as usual Thursday is insanely slow because there's hardly anyone around.. I ate lunch at DFAC # 1 this afternoon. It was really delicious! I had bbq ribs. Since it was next to an AIT, there were students around. and this one kid who was 18 <<<(ohh my... brings back memories) he kept talking to me coz he was all new to the army and stuff like that.

This day was boring, I drew tattoos on my hands. both left and right. I drew a unicorn with my left hand lol. I went to the PX to get a light bulb for my closet. They didn't have the one I was looking for.

I got 3 cups of coke while I was browsing through the whole store. That's all I ever do when I'm there! Browse, browse, browse! I buy what I need and then do that. Every time I look at the electronics someone always goes "Need help sir?" _______Well, if I did need help I'd come to you. I mean how hard is it to look at a mac?

Booyah!

So the first order of business today is the PT test scheduled in the morning. I haven't had any good sleep for the past few days. During the event, I scored 66 pushups, 62 situps and 15:40 runtime<<< I suck at running.

The day seemed very long and boring. No one came in for anything to do with the regular in processing procedures. I watched a few long videos. I was really sleepy and I couldn't concentrate.

I had a java hut for lunch. It was really good, I took a stroll to the java hut trailer. It was really nice. I ended up wanting another mocha javacino.

Palm Sunday weekend.


  • So apparently this weekend is Palm Sunday weekend. Which is quite interesting because I haven't been to Palm Sunday for a while. 
  • Saturday afternoon was quite busy. I had to review the N400 documents... which I should've mailed out a few weeks ago. 
  • I gathered all the requirements it required and I thought I was gonna be done by 4pm.
  • I ended up going to Target to make some 2x2 photos as part of the packet. The Target store over here is still slightly overpriced despite the fact that people usually go here to be thrifty.
  • The rest of the weekend I spent a lot of napping. I become awakened at around 3 in the morning and not able to get back to sleep.
  • I took a lot of random pictures on my camera phone.... lol
  • I recently read about a tornado up in Raleigh, NC. I had plans to go there next week. I'll keep an eye out though. 
  • A few minutes ago I was just hanging out and sitting down with 3 other people. The place gets somewhat dead on the weekends.
  • Oh and I made some arroz caldo. Not exactly what I expected. It's still good I bet.... Well I'll see in a few minutes

3rd week of April

So this week hasn't really been out of the ordinary. Been showing up to work from 7:30-4:30.


  • This morning, no one was here on our floor. I called Sgt McCall and went "There's no one on our floor!" Apparently he was in there and forgot to open the door.
  • PT test is coming up on Wednesday. We got our height and weight early in the morning. Ugh I've been the same weight for the longest time. 133lbs! The only time I gain is when I've eaten.
  • I went to the gym once this week. 
  • I've been taking so many naps. 
  • I'm falling asleep at around 3 in the afternoon.

I hate Monday!

  • Once again I was awoken by a toothache. It was about 3 in the morning when it started kicking in. I wanted to sleep in until my alarm went off at quarter past 4. But I just cleaned my teeth and flossed it which seemed to give it some relief.
  • This morning my NCO, SGT McCall led PT. He had us running across the field which was actually more fun than usual PT. Then we went to run the track. I was glad it was our own pace this time. I love sprints.
  • I was really tired for work today. I was going to town on the coffee I made. At lunch I took a nap. I only meant to take about 20 minutes. I actually overslept. I normally take 1 hour for lunch, but today was considered longer. It was about an hour and a half.
  • There were a lot of people in processing today. 
  • I worked till about 5. There were these books that did not contain page numbers. I worked on correcting that. It took about an hour and a half.
  • I took a nap
