Training Day 89 - Unit 9 Test

Language: I destroyed my tests today. I scored a 90 on my listening test (A-) and a 100 on my reading test (duh). I had to correct my teacher's English to get the two points that shifted me from 98 to 100 and a couple students seemed annoyed that I even argued for those two points... But it's a 100! The GPA may not change but the boost to my confidence is huge. I almost enjoyed this test as I could really understand what was going on. Now, just one more unit test until I cross into virgin territory... Then people will stop saying I'm doing well because this is all stuff I "learned" before.

Military: The CO gave me (and all the other Marines) a direct order to disobey my school house today. Apparently there is some sort of spat going on way above my pay grade... but my CO is a good guy so I know this is for a good reason.

Fitness: Squad PT with my new Corporal today. We had a circuit course of pull-ups, assorted push-ups, ab exercises, and monkey "fornicators". Those burn. A lot. Decent PT session though and it was good to chat during the pull-up pyramid that followed.

I also found out today (second-hand so I need to confirm it on Monday) that my PFT will be in June because of the marathon I am running. That gives me almost two more months to prepare! This is going to be an awesome PFT to get my cutting score up for Corporal.

Personal: This is a pretty good start to my weekend... Made better by the fact that I went out with the Hooah and Zoomie for sushi. Not only was the sushi good but the company was excellent. It has been a long time since I just sat down and enjoyed a meal too. We went to the restaurant that my speaking partner has started working out... Both of them teased me mercilessly about that, of course.
