After posting the previous entry i realized that i haven’t blogged for a month. I haven’t blogged about my new found army life. I don’t really know what to post about army.. There are many different aspects of army that i reflected and experienced, so i guess i will just blog about whatever comes to mind. Got to watch what i say about army though, don’t want to be caught leaking any information..
During the 2 weeks confinement, the one thing that i really felt deprived of was MUSIC! I didn’t bring my mp3 in so for 17 days the only songs i heard were army songs. And it plays in my head every night before i sleep. It.Was.Horrible! 17days is a long time, you will change to adapt. Some changes are needed, some changes are intentional, some changes are subtle. Subtle changes scares me because the only time you realized there is a change is when you have already changed. So profound right? Sometimes subtle changes can be for the worse and it happens. Like after being exposed to vulgarity and no filtering for 17 days, i actually caught myself swearing. So i am trying my best to be guarded now but it is not that bad because i am only in camp 5 days a week.
I entered army looking at it as a different stage of my life, i didn’t dread it neither did i embrace it. All in all it is a new experience and with each new experiences comes new things to be learn. A change in lifestyle really opens your eyes to new perspectives, allowing you to see things in a clearer light.
Okay i am super tired now, i can’t think anymore so i will leave this post as it is. I am not sure if people still comes here after a month of 0 posts.. Anyway for those of you who cares how i am doing, let me assure you that army isn’t bringing me down.. Maybe not yet.. But for now i am learning a lot and i think it is actually doing me some good.
Have a good week ahead(:
