Re-focusing

It's been pretty much two years straight of training for me, and all that time my focus has been all on getting through it as best I could. Any thought of my long-term goals (which were the reason I joined the military in the first place) have been pretty much none existent. But now, that's pretty much all over with and it's time to get back to my ultimate objective--getting my degree(s), and preparing for the rest of my life. It's frustrating because I'm surrounded by very early- to early-mid twentysomethings, and they're for the most part all about the party. And they should be. And it's tempting for me to join them. But I have so much desire and anxiety to set up a plan for my future; when I'm out and about playing around, all I can think about is what I should be doing. Which means I'm probably not much fun to be out with. And when I'm home alone and (thinking about) getting work done, all I can think about is all the fun and excitement I'm missing out on that everyone else is out doing. I spend WAAAAY too much time thinking. The solution? Make sure my solo time is productive, and use it to get as much done as possible. Then, when it's play time, I can relax and let loose. So, I spent tonight researching law schools and how to prepare for them. Mission accomplished--for the night, anyway. And now I'm so frickin' tired. I don't even know if this blog is coherent. I hope so. If not, I hope it's at least funny. Typos galour.
