Training Day 26

Friday!

Language: Slow day. Took a chapter review quiz... Kind of sucky. Again, I had a hard time focusing thanks to the medicine. Still, I didn't fall asleep and the same teacher who had called me on it earlier noticed that I had improved. I then proceeded to derail the class by discussing it.

Automotive: I replaced the burned out driver-side rear signal light finally so I feel all accomplished and am eager to keep on working on my vehicle. Once my money arrives, I really do need to get my toolbox put together. First I need to take my car to the autoport on base to get the front left wheel worked on. Of course, on the same day that I fix the signal light, a headlight goes out and I am not sure how to replace that one. Getting a headlight to come out is more complex with more odd screws but I know the autoport will help me.

Medical: I really hate how the provigil makes me feel... My appetite is all wonky now and I'm a bit nauseous at random moments. Still, it keeps me awake and covers the hypoglycemia.

Personal: Hung out with Hooah and Momrine Friday night. I had to watch Grease which isn't a bad movie... but I laughed a lot. I'm not sure that was the intent of the writers but so much of the movie just seemed absurd. Besides having fun Friday night, I also reached an epiphany: Throughout life, a lot of people (many of whom you respect and are close to) will try to tell you what to do. While it's good to consider their points and take advantage of their life experience, I need to remember that the reason their voice matters is that it is experience. Therefore, when it comes down to it, my own experiences are going to be what truly test and define my ethics. I can talk a lot about what I think would be right but I can't truly say what I think is important until I find myself in that situation. As long as I stick to what I feel is right and can face myself with the repercussions of my actions, I'll do well.
