1st day of class

Wow school was boring last night!! Alot of it is the same thing over and over again. We actually let out a little early and I made it home in time to watch Jericho.. Yes like everyone I am hooked. I will miss it when it goes away again.

Class is supposed to completely finished June 11th but they are trying to push us through early graduation so I don't know how that is going to affect the final graduation date. I did pick up some quilt magazines the other day to be able to kill some dead time at school. I think I might even pack up my computer and take that with me. If I can't get a wireless connection at least I play with eq or write some emails to send later.

Well I have to get going Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have to go to PT (Physical Training) at 2pm and since I won't be able to come back home in between I want to double check and make sure that I have everything that I am going to need to clean up before school. I actually made a lunch already so that will save me $ and time later.. Maybe that is what I need to do make a lunch everyday when I get home from school .. Still not sure that I like this night school thing but I guess I'll live.

I hope to get some sewing done this weekend and be able to post some pictures. For sure I will be able to take some pictures of the group I need to call Cristin so that we can work out where to meet before the sew in.

Monday

Yesterday seemed like it was super long that is for sure. I got up and went to the base for school leaving my house at 0600 and found out that I didn't need to be there until 0730 (could have been later they wouldn't have know)We were supposed to start indoc at 0800 but it was nearly 0900 before they started. Worked through the multiply don't drink and drive blah blah blah.. and Then went to lunch at about 1130 to return at 1pm. Most of the rest of the group goes home for lunch but not me I live 40 minutes away. I figured that this would come up and be an issue but not the first day so I was not prepared.

After lunch we continued with the boring indoc classes most of which I have heard about 15 times and then at 315pm they released the kids that were on day time classes went home. Those of us on nights (me) had to go meet with our instructor for a couple hours and then we were out of there. So I left the base at about 5pm last night.

When I got home I wanted to just lay there and do nothing but ended up playing video games online with my brother. I figured that it wouldn't hurt to play after all I got some big news yesterday and just needed family time.

What big news did I not tell you? I found out that I will be depolying when I finish school. Not sure yet when I'm leaving but I will be and I don't know when I will be back. We (my family) always figure roughly 6 - 11 months since 6 is the least I have been gone and the most was 10 1/2.

Well I am off to fix lunch and get ready for work.

Last Nights Sewing

Like I mentioned in a previous post I didn't do much sewing but I did do a little. I sewed a patch on my uniform so that I could go and check into the base today. That was a chore in itself everything I knew about this base before has changed in the last 4 years. Here is a picture of my fine sewing job


I have some fabric set aside to make a miranda bag. I'm excited about that as well my only fear is the FMQ for the bag itself. I watched the "Pajama Quilter" today and she makes it seem so easy.
Well I had better get going if I expect to get anything done tonight. Tomorrow I have to prepare a different uniform than I checked in with because nothing can be easy .. Smiles
