It's the end of the month, which means that it's the start of a new month. Today I called the Army recruiting center, and went through a preliminary interview- height, weight, any criminal convictions, (none, the misdemeanor was dropped) and so on. This afternoon I'm going in to see what's available, and finally start over. I'm tired of waiting on the world- now the world will wait for me! I know perfectly well I can pass the tests as well as pass the physical standards, and will be able to do basic training standing on my head. But what I can't seem to do is cut it in the civilian world. I've had a series of jobs that went nowhere, and never really found a place in this world- I always thought I was going to waste, and that I somehow was not able to get out of my own way long enough for things to take a turn for the better. So I decided to do something about it. It wasn't a spur of the moment decision, and I know the risks involved in it. But I think it's worth it for my family. They deserve the best I can give them, and if this is the way to do it, then so be it. I'm cautiously optimistic, and besides, the Army is always hiring, as I understand it. Good job security, too.
Apart from that, it's pretty much life as usual. Spring is here, and a couple nights ago instead of snow, we had thunderstorms! It's been a while since that's happened! Nothing much else is going on here, so wish me luck! I'm off to hopefully start anew!
