The Good Times are Killing Me

I've decided to use the title of a Modest Mouse song as the header for my blog. It basically represents the last few weeks of my time here in A-town. The group of friends I've made here are really tight, and there are rarely times where we broke up for any nightly event. The only problem with that is, they also have a taste in late night partying and excessive drinking. This stems from the fact that we all are people who love to go "BIG". A bunch of type A personalities that get along, which makes us a hard group to defeat when we get rolling.

Which brings up my point that I've been partying like a rockstar for about 50% or more of the nights I've been here. Not that it's a bad thing, just it's wearing me out. The quizes and tests are starting to get more frequent in my schooling(a quiz every day, and test days include a quiz as well), and it's not like the material is hard to memorize but it's still route memorization and it the material builds on itself.
A quote from Snatch: "You're on thin F*cking ice there Turkish, and I will be under it when it breaks." So far I'm still on top. We'll see how far this lasts before I need to get off(or even out of) the ice.

Another note, I'm pretty excited about the wedding. PJB has been making the preps, and been doing a heck of a job too. I'm very proud of her. It will be nice when it's all said and done and I get to tell her congrats on a day to day basis, IN PERSON. I miss my PJB.

This weekend should be like no other, the main reason being we're headed to Oak Harbor for the night, which some of us swore off before even stepping one foot in the nightlife down there. I say, give it one chance before you agree that Oak Harbor is no place for a Junior Officer. Skeptisism is such a depressing trait sometimes. Why not be more adventurous and make life more interesting? I guess the reason you don't is because you're boring and a tool bag and don't need to hang with our group and poop on the party.

But I know I'm preaching to the choir, my loyal fans out there ;)

Rest of the weekend:
1. trying to volunteer at the humane society. scheduled for Sat.
2. Brew beer and then Movie night? Sat.
3. Sunday, End of summer party @ bartender Jeremy's house.
4. Salsa dancing lessons in Oak Harbor sunday afternoon. followed by studying on base(fun)

Again, should be a good weekend.
