I love my car. :) It's so much fun :)

So, I took Josh out for dinner on Tuesday night. It was quite fun and I really enjoyed it. I got to dress up in nice jeans, heels and a nice sweater :) I definitely loved it...

On another note, it's Thursday (finally!) and I am ready for the weekend. 7 classes, 1 EI session, a run and physical therapy between me and my weekend :)

I must say, I had quite the marvelous weekend. I purchased three of my fourteen necessary Christmas presents and began thinking of the rest. I only stalled my car once (twice maybe?) and am getting much improved in my driving. I seem to be remembering that not only can you upshift but you can also downshift AND you can coast in neutral, as long as you put the clutch in before you try to slam it into gear. It doesn't like it much when you forget the clutch ;)

I also had my car detailed this past weekend so it's marvelously clean, sparkly and waxed. I may end up investing in wax myself such that I can continue to give it the clean look it deserves. Plus, it's such a lovely blue color, I want it to be noticeable!

Baked cookies and left them at Josh's house but he brought some for me this morning. Which means I had an excuse to go see him during first period when he was the only one in the room he works in. Which means I got to hug him even though we're both in a uniform.

Also this morning, I was squadron commander for morning marching. It wasn't terrible but I would've been lost had it not been for the 3* helping me out through out the marching experience. Apparently I didn't do TOO horribly although I was out of step for a good portion of it...which was slightly problematic. Especially when you're calling commands based on which foot you have on the ground, etc. Fun times...

Two more classes and then I'm done for the day. Goodie!

The weekend needs to get here stat. I need a nice long nap. 7 classes, a run and it's here.

I can' t wait :)

So, I bought my plane tickets to go visit Josh in Seattle over Christmas break. I will be flying out on 28 December at 8am and landing in Seattle at 1:30pm. I'm pretty excited but it's 68 days until I go home and then 12 days until I go see him. It's funny - I'm excited to go see him and it's not like I'm not even seeing him hahahaha...

I spent the weekend with Josh and went out to buy a car. My car, a Blue Topaz 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LT, has been called LT by me and Elsie by everyone else. :) We had a great weekend hanging out, driving, soaking in the hot tub, etc. I had fun. And then, when I drove back to USAFA, he followed me back so he could take me up to the cadet area.

When I went down this morning to move my car from one parking lot to another, I ran into Josh and he drove me back up again. He's absolutely amazing :)

36 days until I go home for Thanksgiving!

6 days until the weekend! :)

We have a football game today. It's going to take forever. I have school at random hours all throughout the day and then a football game. Just how I want to spend my day. And then we have stuff ALL day tomorrow. Ugh. I just want a break. It'll be such a late night tonight.

I guess the nice thing is that tomorrow I finish all my stuff at 1315 but can't leave until 1600 so I'll have 2.75 hours worth of studying I can complete. I plan on taking a textbook or two with me to the game so I can get some studying done then too. Pretty sweet, right? Not really, not my idea of fun but I've gotta do what I've gotta do. Studying is very necessary to me.

A paper to right, two outlines to form, 2 GRs to study for...life's good. :)

So, I took Josh home with me for the weekend. He had a chance to meet my three younger siblings, which I think was good.

The results are in:

Adrian told me "he holds his head high" which is code for "he's a good guy."

Allison "thought [I] should know, [she] approves :) "

Ian "approves of [my] boyfriend."

And Susan, of course, hasn't met him.

Josh says he'd really like to meet Susan because apparently that'll give him the key to understanding the very depths of my soul or something morbidly poetic like that. Whatever... I don't necessarily agree.

CE was pretty stupid today at school. But that's kinda because my squadron was ahead for CE. The captain in charge of CE entered our class after it was finished and told our instructor that we'd be going back to the old way of doing CE where our own AMT/AOC teaches the classes. That makes me really happy because that was absolutely the best way of doing things.

Annnnnd, I really really really can't wait for the weekend. I want to be done with all my homework so I can just go over to Josh's and relax. I think it'll work out in my favor with the no-class on Friday thing going on. Hopefully, I can just study all day on Friday and have Josh take me home with him whenever he leaves. :) And yeah. *but* Josh doesn't have work on Friday so he might have to come back and get me...

EI tomorrow for dynamics - it'll be good as I plan on doing a bunch of my homework problems in EI so it'll work out (haha...work out...homework...LOLZ).

Thermodynamics now. :)

Free at last, free at last! Thank God almighty, I'm free at last!

I've officially left the debate team. Although I imagine I'll be back in the spring, I have left the team for now. It's pretty nice to know I don't have to go to practice, etc. It's pretty sweet.

Time to study and get off academic probation too. Hopefully I'm not ordered to attend regular EI because then I can count EI as WACQs and hopefully sign out sooner on the weekends. The way it is right now, I would do homework from 3:30-10:30 on Fridays and then be able to sign out from Saturday to Sunday.
