Language: Speaking test today with my mentor... She's a hard but fair teacher and she expects a lot from me. Once again, I tripped over past vocabulary and grammar. I also sucked pretty hard at the monologue but did well with the roleplayed dialogue. I'll get my grade later but I know I didn't do terribly. The thing is, I actually felt pretty good about how the conversation was rolling and she understood what I was saying. It is just that, while I conveyed my meaning, I butchered some of the details.
Fitness: Today is the last solid PT day before my platoon's PFT (which I will not be taking because of the one I took two weeks ago). Therefore, we pushed it. Dewey and I did a lot of pull-ups and my smoker of an abs routine... And I tore through it. All of it. I wonder if I've broken that mental barrier that was keeping me from performing before.
Apartment: Today I received a desk, rolling chair, bookshelf, and a bunch of kitchen stuff... All for free. Woo! Thank God for friends hooking friends up (see below for who).
Personal: Speaking of which, today was another sort of test... I finally had my chat with the Momrine about, well, everything. I know that a lot of my friends and family are rolling their eyes right now. But I'm happy. I'm happy that she and I got to talk and clean out a lot of the air between us. I'm glad that not everything I thought was true. Of course, it's a bit sad to see what stemmed from miscommunication... She and I always had great, productive talks. It's just hard for us to actually start talking at times. Anyways. I feel like I have my friend back and it's a good feeling. She's been working hard to get her life in order, like I have been with mine. I respect that.
