Puppy Cam!!

Oh my goodness gracious. Yesterday I was on http://www.m.gawker.com/ and I found this link to a livestream Shiba Inu puppycam! This Shiba Inu mom (Kika) gave birth to her third and final litter of puppies and they are adorable! There are six puppies, three boys and three girls. Right now they are all mashed up together taking a nap. And they look more like overgrown guinea pigs than anything else! Here is the link if you want to look at them: (okay stupid Blogspot will not let me copy and paste) http://m.gawker.com/5794814/puppy-cam-the-third-final-generation. I hope it links! I know there is a link button within the blogspot posting page but I am such a f*cktard when it comes to this website I wrote the address all by hand. :P

Can I borrow this? K Thanx

darnation

Guess what is going on outside? It is snowing. I am dead serious. It is the middle of April... two weeks (give or take) from May... and its snowing!? I won't even act shocked anymore because frankly you just gotta get used to it in Wisconsin. You really do. -------- Anyway, I am going out to dinner with my mom. Texas Roadhouse baby! Yumyum. Have you heard the newest single from Lady Gaga - "Judas"? Holy moly it is awesome! Its like a mash up of all of her earlier beats. You have a little Bad Romance, a little Paparazzi in there. Its subtle but you can hear it. Plus the lyrics are awesome (if not a little strange) and the beat is outstanding! I must have listened to it 20+ times already, its so good! ------- I am off to dinner, see ya!

bleeech

I am so sick right now. Not running-to-the-bathroom-to-hurl-up kind of sick, but that sick you get when you are sore + tired + feel antisocial. I started getting sick on Saturday. I could feel something creeping into my throat and into my head. Now on Wednesday night I can barely breathe (my nose is so congested and my throat is so sore) because I am either coughing all the time or hunched over... my head always hurts... and my nose is getting really congested. I tried the DayQuil and NyQuil stuff to cut off this cold or flu or whatever this is and it has not helped at all. I think I have to get worse before I can get better. But at least the NyQuil knocks me out quite nicely when I need to go to bed! lol. I hope I feel better this time next week. =[

the good and the bad

The Good: I got to go to an awesome Dining Out on Friday night with my mom and my cousin. We were at the Harley Davidson museum and got to eat really delicious food as well as listen to the Brigadier General of the Air National Guard talk to us. Then on Saturday I got a really AWESOME card from a certain friend of mine that really made me laugh and probably reduced some stress hormones floating around in my system. ----- The Bad: I have a Psych 205 test tomorrow that I am only half prepared for, I have to ask my mom for a big chunk of cash tonight to pay off tuition fines, I have yet to fill out my FASFA form, and I am pretty sure I am getting really sick right @ this moment. I can feel something settling into my throat and working its way into my head. :(

Scholarship!

Guess who won herself a $2,000 scholarship from the Airlift Tanker Association? This little woman right here! The ATA scholarship competition was for Arnold Air Society and/or Silver Wings cadets (like me!) who wanted to prove their worth and get some money for school. We had to write on something or someone associated with the Airlift Tanker Assocation - like an airplane, a mission, a heroic act, a person... I wrote about General Duane "HE-WHO-HELPED-ME-WIN-A-SCHOLARSHIP" Cassidy, a really hardworking Air Force officer. Thanks, sir! Unfortunately I will not be able to pick up the scholarship myself. They are being handed out at Americon, this convention in New York City for AAS cadets. I don't have the money to go over there so someone else will have to accept it for me. Oh well. But I still earned a scholarship! Yay me!!

Field Training -- yes or no?

Tomorrow I get to find out whether or not I made it into Field Training. A bunch of cadets have already found out today (cadets have to go see the Captain to find out) whether or not they get in. Three cadets I know have defintely gotten in, but I know quite a few more who have been rejected for a slot. I find out my fate tomorrow. If I get in, great. Six weeks in Alabama getting yelled at and stressed out in some blistering, sticky, stinky heat. If I do not get in - I have to go for another year as a GMC and try for Field Training in Summer 2012. These words may look like I am calm, cool, and collected - but right now I am a big bundle of anxious, depressed, scared nerves ready for a breakdown or a freakout. Or both. And in case you are wondering how Air Force cadets get selected for Field Training... We are lined up with ALL (which number in the thousands) the other competing cadets in the country and we are judged on our: -school GPA -cadet standing: are you in the top or middle or lower 1/3 of the cadet class? This is in terms of AFAS gpa (Air Force classes), attendance, extra activities within rotc (like recruiting, color guard, etc...), integrity, service, excellence... stuff like that. -PFA score (personal fitness assesment. I got a 93 or 94 last semester and a 96 this semester, which is great because a lot of cadets did even crack the 90s. keep in mind this is out of a 100) -year plan: are you a 200, 250 (me), or a 500? a 200 is someone who has been in the GMC program for 2 years, a 250 is someone who has been a GMC for less than a year at this point, and a 500 was rejected for a slot last year and they are aiming for a Field Training slot again this semester. I have heard 250s get special consideration because they are on the fast track to becoming an officer. -scholarship student?: if you are on a scholarship, the Air Force is basically paying for your education and so they have a need to get you through Field Training because they are investing in YOU. And because the monetary budget for scholarships was overextended last year NO SCHOLARSHIPS for anyone this year (unless you won one in your past. then whoopee for you.) There is probably a bit more to it but that is all I can remember at this point. Anyway, where I think I stand on this set is: GPA: pretty low, 2.89 cadet standing: fairly good, I am in the top 1/3 PFA: great, scored a 93/94 and a 96 year plan: 250, might help me this semester. scholarship: HA! Plus keep in mind there are a lot more faces than places (too many cadets aiming for too few slots) in regards to Field Training. This year A LOT of cadets aimed for a Field Training (more than the past few years) slot so the general timing may work against me and a lot of other cadets. But whatever happens, happens. I find out tomorrow whether or not I got in this year. And yes the results (and the ensuing happy-oh-thank-God-I-got-in or the fuck-my-motherfucking-fucking-life-and-fucking-fuck-everyone-fucking-else-how-come-they-got-in-I-am-so-fucking-angry-I-want-to-take-out-my-frustrationonsomeoneandIhatethefuckingworld!!!!-rant. ...I really hope no one from my det. finds this!!!!!!
