Catching Up Again
I really must apologize on not updating this blog as of recently. I go through all this trouble to make it easier to put entries and yet, I'm totally neglecting it. Go figure that one. Anyways, much as been going on as of late.
The Yosemite/Half Dome trip was great. It's never a dull view up there. "The not-so Dirty Dozen", as I like to call us, were: Alvin, Amy, Cheng, Eric, Greg, Jason, Jessica, Jimmy, Mike C., Mike T., Nelson, and myself. I was training to to go even faster than the "Original Four Astronauts" (Eric, Mike C., Nel, and me) did 3 years ago. However, I found it worthy to just hang back and be accountable for the safety of other people. I must have done a headcount every 10-15 minutes or so. Fortunately, no one fell off the mountain and the most I've had to use of my Med Kit was to mitigate some mosquito stings. In fact, all 12 of us made it to the top of the Dome! Good times indeed.
In the latest drama with SJSU, my appeal finally went through and I will be starting school next monday. Long story short: too much drama went into trying to build a solid arguement for trying to get in this late. Now I have short amount of time to get ready for the school year. Oh well, count your blessings, right? Afterall, I got in.
Been watching a lot of Band of Brothers with Manuel and Julie lately. For those you who might not know, it was an HBO miniseries based on the Stephen Ambrose WWII book of the same title. It's a story of "E" Company, 506 PIR of the 101st Airborne Division from Normandy to V-E Day. All the chracters in it are very well portrayed. I've often felt like I had to explain some of the subtleties of military stuff to Manuel and Julie as we were watching. I tend to appreciate accurate storytelling. On another note, the theme song of the series seems to make me want to cry a little. I'm beginning to wonder if the music is a reflection of who I am and what I want to be. Just a thought.
