Moving on...

So I am getting ready to leave Groton for 30 days and return home. I graduated from my A school, and when I come back I will be reporting to the fleet. I am at one of those times in my life when I feel as though it is about to drastcally change. I'm on the tresh hold of a new adventure, and I am just as excited as I am scared. Even though I will come back to Groton, my life will be different. I will be in a much more stressful environment, and I will work alot more. Life will certainly not be as easy as it was for me this last year.

I also see my personal life changing drastically. I had great friends here at sub school, but as can be expected in the navy, most of them will be gone or close to it soon. There are still going to be some people here for me, but I just don't know if life will be the same. Who knows, it might just get better. All I know, is I am excited but yet so scared.

Lame duck....

So lets look back in to history for a little bit. The country really started moving towards the civil war long before Lincoln was in office. In fact, during the last term of the 15th president it was quite obvious what was happening. However, he did nothing about it. He just sat back and kinda let things happen. He waited until the next president took office, figuring that he didnt need to do anything in his last little bit.

Sometimes I fear that I have elements of that in my character. I just kinda sit around sometimes and let the slow decay of time deal with the issues in my life. I suppose that is not a good thing, but what can I say? I'm working on it.
