But I digress, on Tuesday, I'll be returning to campus for the first time in three years and I'm ready to attack this bachelor's degree... it's a small part in a very big plan but it's still the most essential at this point because nothing can progress until I receive my BA in English...
(Fuck, Kentucky just scored again... the fuck is ECU doing?)
Anyway, if everything goes as planned I'll be having my own room, taking all online classes (except a basketball class), spending 4-5 hours a day playing basketball and just basically chillin' out most of the day... ahhhhhhh... college is the life... I wouldn't say I'm not ready for the real world but at this point in my life, I don't feel like I've had enough fun yet... working a 40-hour is fucking draining... it's never ending and there's nothing to look forward to... when it comes to school... there's an end in sight: graduation... what's there to look forward to when you're working? a promotion that you never know when/if it's coming? casual Fridays? Miss me with that shit... I was clinically depressed my first two and a half years in college and I still had more fun then than I have the entire three years I've been gone... if that right there doesn't describe just how horrible "the real world" is then I don't know what else to tell you...
Upon graduation, I plan to join the army... I know, I know... I can see all the rolled eyes, all the "Greg, what the fuck are you doings?", all the "this nigga is crazy as hells"... but I'm doing it... I've already decided... it's the opportunity to see the world, to get a CRAZY resume booster, more motivation to get in shape and the benefits are bananas... and basic training isn't as crazy as I once thought...
My brother just went back for AIT today (kinda like the second phase of basic for those that don't know) and just hearing his stories of basic, getting more information about it, seeing how things have gone for me this past year.... it just seems like a no-brainer to go... I'm not sure whether it will be for just a little while or if I'll make a career of it... I don't think I'll be able to decide that until I actually get there and get into it... but if I get my BA, I go in as an E-4 (corporal/specialist) while most come in as an E-1 or at the most an E-2... so I figure I'm already ahead of the game... I just wanna get my PT scores up so that I have something to brag to my brother and my uncle about... I think I got both of them in the pushup and situp score... but the 2-mile score is a little scary... to beat both of them, I'd have to finish in under fourteen minutes and the fastest mile I've ever ran was nine minutes, although in my defense, I've never had a year to train or the determination to beat anybody but myself (pause)... so I'll keep ya'll updated on that...
I do know that I want to try to play football for Army once I'm a soldier... I've been playing football all my life and I'm pretty damn good at it... the bad thing about it is I've also been pretty lazy and taking it for granted... at almost 24, I think it's fair to say that the NFL dreams are over... LOL... I'm not afraid to admit that... had I ran more, lifted more, been more dedicated, I don't care what anybody says, I'd be in the NFL right now as a running back or a safety... this ain't some Uncle Rico shit where I'm talking about "if coach had put me in, we'd take State" type shit, that's just the honest fucking truth... but in any event, I do have four years of eligibility to play college football... so once I make it in the Army, I'm going to make the team and do my thing... I think I look most forward to that more than anything else... anyway, I'ma get back to the game... it's tied at 19 now... Patrick better get on his fucking game... ya'll be easy... (EDIT: Patrick Pinkney just got the fucking stiff arm from hell from #95 from Kentucky... LMAO... that's my man and all but Jesus... that was funny... but they're down 6 now with three minutes to go...)
