Oh dude. It's only been a week? My parents are probably freaking. I can't get to a phone. Boot camp hasn't started yet. By the way... DONT CALL IT BOOT CAMP! It's BCT or Basic Training. I'm only in reception right now and going nuts.
The bus ride was interesting. I enjoyed seeing what South Carolina tree's looked like. They are cool! I bet even cooler when it's not freezing. Once we got off that bus I forgot all about those pretty trees. It was a lot of yelling and screaming. My muscles are sore. Have you ever got in the front leaning rest and stayed there for an hour? Try it. I dare you. I'm learning quickly what muscle endurance means.
All the white girls are putting their hair up in corn rolls. News Flash! You all look stupid and there's no way I'm doing that.
One girl manages to get a phone call home because she's a mom. I guess her baby is sick and they can't just let her leave yet. So somehow in her head she thought it was a good idea to drink bleach. She died. It didn't take long either. I assume she was trying to make herself sick to go home. If she was trying to commit suicide then wow... really? I mean that can't be good for the baby.
We're getting bussed to BCT in a couple days. I should be nervous. I get more nervous than this when I had to yell "HERE!" for roll call in school. Maybe I'm in shock haha.

The Beginning
Tomorrow is a big day for me. I am leaving for the Army. I'm finally getting the fresh start I've been waiting for. Seems silly coming from an 18 year old huh? There are lots of reasons I am doing this. Leaving my family is not one of them. I don't want to leave them. I love them all. I think it's right for me. A lot of people say I can't do it. Some wont say it, but I can sense it.
