Well, this year has somewhat started off good. We were just recently qualified for medical assistance to help out with last year's medical bills, but it is only from Dec on. We are currently doing an appeal to go bak to October to cover the wife's medical bills and ambulances. I don't have $50,000 to pay those.
My packet for Direct Commission has been sent out and the board will be held Jan 24th. I won't know the results until sometime in March. I tell you what tho, if I do get it, does that mean there is something terribly wrong with the Army?
Started back to school last week and I am currently taking Informal Logic. Interesting class so far. My projected graduation is Feb 2012. I am starting to get a little burned out from school now after doing it for the last year and 4 months. Hopefully I just stick with it to the end.
Nothing else to post right now.

Burn out
Wow, I guess it has been awhile since I posted. I guess I got all caught up in the Facebook and Farmville thing that I neglected my blog. I see I haven't posted since just before Thanksgiving and the next post was from my bro..thank you. Well, the Italy trip went fine, I guess. We worked 6am-6pm M-F and worked a few hours on the Saturday we were there. I was able to go to Verona and sightsee. Was able to see the House of Juliet. If you have seen LETTERS TO JULIET, it is very similar, but they do not hang letters on the wall. Instead, there are two walls that people have signed. I also went to Venice. Although both places I experienced in the evening. The sun was setting at 4:30 while I was there and both places we got there around that time. It was still nice to see. They have Christmas Markets, which is where the townfolk basically go to the streets and set up booths to sell items that are handmade or that tourists would like to buy. No, I did not do the gondola as they wanted 60 Euros to ride it which comes out to nearly $100. I'd rather walk, thank you.
I also experienced some real Italian Food. My first dish was the Lasagna. I think I like the Americanized lasagna better. It was good, but just small portioned for what I paid. Pizzas, spectacular. They use a thin crust and their cheese is magnificent. The only thing is if you ask for sausage, it tastes like bologna and looks like pepperoni. Nonetheless, is was still good and priced fairly. The last dish I had, can't remember the name of it, but it had like rigatoni noodles, sauce, and meat. It was a huge plate with melted cheese on it and cost really low. I was surprised I was able to eat it all, but it was great.
Next year I will be trying to go to Korea. Haven't been there yet, but want to experience it. If I can't do that, I will try Japan. If I can't do either, I may just go back to Germany. I love it there.
I also just found out yesterday that my packet is going to the board later this month for direct commissioning to become an officer. Originally I was told last month I would not make this board and would have to wait until May because I was waiting on a document. I just received it last week and turned it in and was called last night saying I will make this board. I just won't find out the results until March-April timeframe. Wish me luck.
Christmas and New Years went fine. Yes, I did drink on New Years. I bought an 18 pack and only drank 13. The next day, I threw the remaining in the trash and decided I'm done. Hard alcohol just makes me sick and stupid and beer takes too long and makes me spend money. So I may drink occassionally, but not like I used to.
That wraps it up for now. Got school work to get back to. Informal Logic began yesterday and I only have 10 more classes to go after this one. I am scheduled to graduate with my Bachelor's in Feb 2012.
