I’m beening counting down for several weeks, counting down to the end of my course. It is getting exciting but at the same time – not so exciting.
I don’t usually behave optismistic about any decisions made by the army. I just like to choose where to go I guess. Anyway, I have already been posted into a unit. I don’t know if I told any of you guys. I’ve been posted to a unit that – rumor says – is very regimental. Okay, it’s not really a rumor – things in the army just spreads around. Yes, men gossip too.
And I heard really bad things about my new place, so much so that I somehow rather stay as a trainee here forever. I don’t know what is coming but it seems cloudy
Sometimes, I talk to my other friends, not surprisingly all those I talked to actually prefer to remain as trainees here than to go to that place. Well, we have to go there anyway.
“You should just be like me,” Bob says. ["Bob" is a substitute name to conceal a fellow countrymen's identity.]
“Like sleeping during classes?” I suggested.
“Yeah, time flies. It was like minutes ago when I step into a class and then the guys were like, ‘Bob, it’s time for lunch’ and I went for lunch and I return and the same thing just repeats,” Bob explains.
He may be half right. I’m quite envious of people who can just sleep everywhere. I can’t. If you tell me to sleep and sit, it is just too hard for me and the success rate is really low. I would just be pretending to be sleeping for 15 minutes and still fail to get to sleep in the end. And worse – after I “wake up”, I get all sorts of aches due to bad posture, I need to lie down flat.
Well, at least I listen in to some of the lessons and some of the networking lessons and quite good actually.
