17 Days running down

The end is comming and things are busier than ever!

Volunteering at the Haunted house was not very rewarding. I was planning on volunteering two more days this week but was told not to because I would not be able to work Halloween night. I beleive the Sergeants exact phrase was," If you can't devote your whole weekend, walk away now."

So I did. There are plenty of other things for me to do.

Last night was the Fall Festival Party at the Fishbowl. I participated and enjoyd most of it. My probe was there. "Probe" is the word we use for those Airmen who are on a probationary status waiting to become a White rope. I only got to teach him a little because of all the craziness going on.

I open the fishbowl this morning and plan on using a lot of that time to finish the Continuity project I started. Hopefully this will help streamline the training system there and increase the quality of our Ropes. Right now everyone has questions or doubts on what their responsibilities are.

I would also like to get some art done today but Idon't know if that will happen.

My roomate left this week so I just might finish off my time here alone. I would be glad to do it. Always worrying about the room while I am gone isn't fun. So now it all rests on my shoulders. I'll clean it and he wont be around to dirty it. He was a good guy though.

I learned this week that I am much closer to getting my associates than I once thought. This training course gives me 26 credits in computer science. I should be able to come home, take a few tests and by spring have my CCAF (Community College of the Air Force) Associates degree! Then I will be that much closer to a bachelors degree in Visual Communications / Graphic Design!!! Sweet!

I will be back to work on the 23rd of November and will be steadily moving up the ladder until this time next year when I will probably get a new job at a higher pay grade. Also I hope to see promotion to Seinor Airman this year.

So a lot is going on and should be pretty good come 2010!

Block 4

Halloween is coming fast and I am trying to stay busy. I volunteered for a Haunted house and it has not been very fun. Yesterday we started with 40 people and after about an hour there were 7 of us. There isn't much direction but it will come together enough to scare some people.

I was White Rope of the week this week. That is cool. It puts me in the running for White Rope of the month. Then I would get a chaplain coin and a letter from the chaplains. Sweet!

We are doing a project to decorate our door for Halloween. So there is a competition going on there. There are two projects for the Squadrons I work with and a poster for the fishbowl to get done.

I got a 95 on my last test o my GPA is currently at 97.3. I really need to find some time to study for this next test on Wednesday. It will be a long weekend....

I just met a guy with a WACOM tablet... I am so jealous. I draw everything out on paper, ink it and then walk all the way to the library to scan it and then work it in the computer. This guy just does it all with one interface! grrr.... he spent $280 on it cuts is work time in half. Not to mention how many leaps forward he can take in his design and art now that he has more time!

sigh... he is selling it ;)

Columbus Day

Ok, two weeks with nothing. Thats all of block 3!

So tomorrow is my block 3 test. I have been studying all through my shift at fishbowl and now I have the laptop out to write this blog and try to get some artwork done.

Its hard to rely on other people to get stuff done. Everyone in the class wrote up questions for a practice test and come to find out, no one remembered me. I thought that would happen. No biggy I'll just study on my own. The goal is 97 or higher.

So we are in the middle of a 3,3,3. Three days off, three days on three days off! We have no school this coming Friday so a lot of us are going to get fat. I need to work out more... More sweat!

Nothng too crazy is going on out here in Mississippi. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to share in the next few days.
