the end in sight

We're nearing the last week! A week from tomorrow (Wednesday) Bonnie, my parents and I will be heading to RI, stopping in MD halfway. At this point I can hardly believe how "fast" the time has gone by, but certainly not every day has felt this lighthearted and easy or fast!

Kellen wasn't able to call Monday or today, but he wrote this update:

"Tomorrow (Wednesday) we get to go through a fire fighter simulator, so that should be pretty cool. So far this week has been super lax, and I am loving it!! The new ODS class is here and the Chiefs and Class Officers do not have time to mess with us. Plus, I almost forgot, on Friday we get to have a simulated ship wreck/attack. They turn all the lights out in the pool and blast battle sounds as we jump into the pool from a 10 foot board (sounds way better than class). But speaking of class, we have a great instrutor LT Sylvestor. For our leadership training he brought doughnuts and let us watch "the office." The episode was called "on stress" or "stressed out", I can't remeber but it was hilarious! Dwight desided to conduct a live fire drill. Well I should read some more for class. I really regret signing up for that class."

I'm glad he's excited about all those simulations- they sound just about terrifying to me! And I've been trying for years to persuade him of the humor in "the office".... He's signed up for a summer class at SEBTS that starts the Monday after he gets back. It is the only summer class offered that he needs, so that's why he signed up for it. He's doing some of the reading for it now. I'm sure he'll be ready for a break, but there will be no rest for the weary until after that class is over. But once it's over he won't start the fall semester for about a month, so hopefully he'll recuperate then.

Off to bed for me... I'm in another marathon of work- only 7 straight days this time :)
