Training Day 70

So this would be Sunday... One of my friends gave me a computer virus. Whee.

Language: I pounded vocab to prepare for tomorrow's quiz. I also received some e-mails from the Transparent Language corporation. They produce BYKI! and Rapid Rote and were very interested in the lists that I am trying to publish. So interested, in fact, that one of their managers decided to e-mail (in addition to his assistant) and was urging me to speak to some people with very high billets in my school. People like deans, chancellors, and some acronym I'm not familiar with.

Apartment: I drove around outside the other side of base looking for apartments and while I did find some complexes they were all too expensive. Blech.

Personal: I did some laundry as it was my last chance to. Vegged a bit. Went out with the Hooah to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It wasn't our normal theater but it was nicer. As for the movie itself... once I got over the initial shock of the movie being CG and some of the plot, it was actually an enjoyable movie. Purists may freak but if you can separate yourself from that it should be fun. It helped that the kids were well-behaved.

So... I think my reprogramming is working. I'm feeling things more and doing better with expressing them. It's kind of double-edged though. Poor Hooah caught me dumping a lot of my aggravation and frustration with everything.... I think I used proper grammar but I didn't breathe much between words. Anyways... Feeling things more? My voice vibrated when I spoke. Crazy.

I wonder if I stumbled upon my 'great voice'?

Fortunately, I maintained my reason. I knew that while I was certain feeling things that they were based on information that hadn't been confirmed yet. I needed to know what was really going on before I could do anything. I wanted to make sure that what I did was a conscious, planned decision and not a hasty, damaging reaction.

It's a good thing too. Later that evening I managed to get a clear view of what was going on and act accordingly. Fortunately, while I certainly felt my emotions and expressed them, I did it in such a way as to not do any damage. Then I was able to handle the truth properly.

...I think I may be growing up. For a lot of different reasons. I think I'm starting to master my learning curve instead of falling down it.
