That's right, less then a week to go before I'm sent off to San Antonio for basic. It's weird. You'd think that with six days left before being shipped off to another state for eight and a half weeks to be yelled at by a TI(drill seargent), one would think I'd be scared out of my mind.

But I'm not.

Instead, I feel...peaceful, relaxed, enjoying what time I have left with my family and continuing to prepare myself best I can for the physical aspect of Basic. It's funny. Even though I've been running like a greyhound and pumping iron with the best of them, the physical aspect of basic is what has me the most nervous, and even then, it's only when it feel like I have nothing to do around the house and sit and think on what's to come.

I'm a smart girl, the mental half will be easy. And while having a TI screaming in my face 24-7 will be exhausting in and of itself, I'm sure I can get through that as well. It's just the physical part that still gets me sweating. Probably because before I started going to the gym daily, exercise was something I dreaded, me having once been one of the heftier girls who dreaded the mile run in P.E.

Nothing but silly old fears coming back to haunt me.

Anyways, this isn't what I really wanted to talk about. With six days left, I find myself spending less and less time on the internet, devientart included, of course, and find myself less interested in the art and journals that are regularly sent to me from the people I watch. Maybe it's because I'm mentally preparing myself for thing to come, maybe something else entirely, but as a result, as of today, I've taken down any and all alerts. As it is, once I'm gone, they needed to come down anyways, otherwise I'd be overwhelmed by the amount of messages and devientart assaulting my account. This is also the day I'm signing off devientart for good-i.e. until I'm out of basic and can find the time to bother coming back onto the site.

So, I suppose this is goodbye? Eh, whatever. For any and all who've taken the time to read about my babblings, thanks for your time.

Hopefully, by the time I get back online, I'll have gone from 'Trainee Schwab-Tidwell' to 'Airman Basic'.

Adios!
