Update on Life
Jul. 19th, 2011 10:27 amI had a meeting with an Army recruiter yesterday, because my dad and I had been discussing the possibility of me joining the Army Reserves if I can. So I went in to talk to her and said, “In a lot of ways, I’m going to be one of the easiest people you deal with, because I’m not asking you to give me reasons to join. I’m asking you what I need to do so that I can join.” So she asked me questions and I answered them, weighed me so we know how much weight I need to lose, and then she sat me down for the practice ASVAB. I hate math. I really freaking hate math. I wound up guessing on all the algebra questions, because I had 13 minutes to do 15 algebra questions and I simply cannot think of algebra that quickly under a test circumstances. My brain freezes for math during tests. In spite of the fact that that’s 15 questions I probably got wrong, I got a 76. Bare minimum to pass with is 31. She looked at my score and told me that it was a really good score and that I can basically do anything I want with that kind of score, and whenever I want to go to take the real test, she knows that I’ll pass and pass well. (I’m going to be studying my math.) All I have to do is get my weight down, and then I can go off to Basic Training.
My dad’s decided that once I’m in Basic, he’s going to get a custom-made bumper sticker: “My daughter wears Army boots”. I suggested the addition of “and so do I” to the end of it.
I’m really excited about this, so I’m starting the same diet that my mom was on, and going to be working out quite a bit. I realize that a lot of this is going to be normal fluctuation, but I weighed myself when I got up here on Friday. Friday and Saturday, I had the same weight. Sunday, I’d gone down two pounds. I weighed myself this morning, and I’m a full ten pounds below my lowest weight on Friday or Saturday. Again, I know it’s normal fluctuation, but YAY! Now I just have to keep going with this, and not eat the sugar that I love.
