Three and a half weeks left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't help, but count down. This place is killing me. I spent four hours standing in 20 degree temps. w/ 30 mph winds just to drive a jacked up Tahoe around a cone course for five minutes. Are you kidding me!!! It even snowed too. Three whole snow flakes in all of Aretesia and one of them hit me dead straight in the freakin' eyeball. The only good thing (if you even want to call it that) was laughing at a chick in my class because she's retarded and can't drive and had that Tahoe all over the place. I even had to run out of the way once. I definitely now have post traumatic stress disorder from already being run over once just five months ago and having to run for my life again today. One of my buddies in class is actually a naturalized citizen from Canada and he doesn't know his right from his left. I told my instructor he killed so many cones today because he was yelling, "turn left," or "turn right," to him instead of the sled dog commands Gee and Haw. I'm a jerk, but whatever.

I am proud to say that I have broken a record on this facility that will probably last a long time. More important than any of the requirements I have to pass in order to graduate from this place. I broke the Hoop Fever high score of 118 w/ a score of 119. Only on my third try tonight too. I crushed alot of people's dreams tonight. I tend to do that alot here. I won't give any examples, but one of my instructors said I'm the guy at the beach that kicks and stomps on a little kid's sand castle he just made. Now that's funny! Hoop Fever is alot like Double Shot except it only has one hoop (in case you were wondering.)

I'm getting to the point now where I tend to say what people in my class are thinking, but are too afraid to say. I do this with instructors which probably isn't a good thing. I don't sass them or anything like that, I just tell them how I feel when they ask or give them my opinion when they ask for it. It sucks having my past work experience because I'm always called on. One of my PT instructors was trying to prove a point to one half of my class he was teaching after he taught my half of the class. I always give him 100 % when I have PT so I think he thought I would back him up on how effective, "Duck Walking," is. If you don't know what it is, it sucks. I told him it sucks because it makes my knees hurt and I thought it was the worst exercise ever and I walked away down the hallway. He was so mad at me all he could say was, "FREAKING SWAIN!" at the top of his lungs. I did everything I could not to show him I was laughing. Oh well. What do you do?

Well, I have to get to bed. Another early day tomorrow. Just remember, life's a garden. You have to dig it to make it grow.

I HATE DUCK WALKING TOO!!! Adam's PE classes even hate it more I'm sure. We're glad that the end is in sight.
