So yeah , finally finished all my training! No more basic, no more AIT, now I'm here in Korea for my first Duty Station. Yup, you heard right I'm half way 'round the world in Korea! At the moment I'm in Camp Stanley in processing before heading to my unit in Camp Humphrey. I am excited about this? You better fuckin' believe it!
Not much to say at the moment, just tellin' anyone who reads these things, or even cares, where I'm at. For everyone who does read these, I'll be keepin up with everyone through this or my email since I get no service here in Korea via cell phone. atleast with my current phone, I'll be getting a new one here shortly, but this will be much easier.
Love you all and miss you all ( For those back home)

I'm glad you're having fun, though. Or so it seems. My only regret is that I'm stuck here in the states and probably will be for the rest of my school career, while you're out seeing the world! And in the country of my favorite boy band, no less!
I dunno if they're touring in Korea or not right now, but yeah. -envy-
I don't envy the training, though, not in the least. XD So totally not my style.
"GIVE ME 20!"
"NO. GO SCREW YOURSELF."
Yeah.
Anyway, whatever's going on, I'd be happy to hear about it.

Would you be afraid to wake up with the Black Knight in your bed... if he's holding a BK breakfast sandwich?
Anywho,you'll have plenty of time to see the world after school, and as for seeing me, I'll be back in the states in a few months, don't know when just yet, and if it comes down to it, I'll be home definitely for Christmas. Do you want me to send you anything? Besides a cute Asian, which there is -no- lack of here
So how are things going for you? I'm doing ok, learning a new language is pretty hard for me so that''s my biggest hurtle
OH, are you ever going to start up that one rp for your world? if so I would like to join in, I'll have quite a bit of free time while here, since I only work from about 0600 to 2100, which means I have all night to do what I want. I'll also have constant access to internet ^^ YAY!
Anywho, drop me a line I love hearing from everyone!

Hmm.. well... I certainly wouldn't mind souvenirs. The last time I got Korean souvenirs was in ...say.. 9th grade? When I met Jin. XD Gawd I miss that girl, she was so cool.
So if the sweets are good ( and not easily perishable), think you could manage to bring some here? I love trying foreign snacks, 'cause they're usually TONS better than American ones.
Anyway, I'm doing all right. I should be working on my research paper right now. I fail that English class if I don't do it. Fortunately I have all of this week to work so.. it can wait a couple hours.
But ya know what? I am half considering for the first time in my life, to fail the class. Or drop it. The professor is Satan. That's a story for another day, though.
I'd offer to help you with languages, but I'm assuming that it's Korean you need to learn and I know like nothing in Korean except songs, so I'm no help. But if it's any consolation, I think it will be easier for you to learn there than you would in school. You seem to be one of those people that likes to do things rather than read about them, so if people are talking in Korean all around you, you'll eventually learn by immersion. My old German teacher learned that way, actually. Came home unable to speak English for a while. XD
I hope you like postzillas.
In closing, I am not starting the Aeruth RP for a long while. I'm still working out the kinks, and besides which, I am basically booked for the rest of this semester. My Spanish and English teachers have it out for me. The Mith'Osen RP will be running on PonyIsland - and it's definitely tied to Aeruth- but it takes place 400 years AFTER the wars in Aeruth. You'd be 400 years too late to save the prince, I'm afraid.

I guess I can wait ^^.
Anywho, sorry to hear about Teachers from hell, but they can't be any worse than Drill Sargents, the most they can do is give you home work or a bad grade XDD.
I'm actually able to read Korean now, I just need to learn what the Frag I'm reading a-means- XD. WE went through some intensive language and culture classes the pas two days so I'm good at reading and small conversations ....as long as I have my little cheat sheet with me ^^.
Tomorrow we get to hang out with some Korean students that attend the college we were taking our classes in, we get to go shopping and visit a folk village ^^ it's going to be tons of fun!
as for sweets to send to you I have TONS of things to send down, omg!The only food I've found that I -haven't- liked is one of the main dishes that Koreans -always- eat, and it's called kimshi. which is this rotten cabbage spicy stuff that smells horrible and tastes, to me at least, just as bad. there was also this weird like palm heart slices soaked in something that was really bad too but I don't know what it was called. but they've got some pretty wicked sweet like these mushroom liking things that taste like Pocky , but they put Pocky to shaaaaaaaaame, and you know how much I like pocky XD.
Geeeeze and you thought you made long posts XDDD
Anywho! Other than finding myself in the group of trouble makers in Green Platoon, things have been going well for the first two days I've been here XD except for locking myself out of my room the day I got here. Talk about making a good impression. What irks me most is that I'm not going to be touching a helicopter for a good month. Which is the mandatory time that all newbies spend in green platoon to get to know that lay of the land and all that jazz. Not that I'll be getting to work on the birds anyway once I get to my platoon. Since I'm backup basically they only send work orders to us when they have big problems of a phase inspection is coming up, and a phase is when they tear a helicopter completely apart to make sure -everything- is in the right order and all that jazz. they're really cool to do, and you learn alot about the birds your working on. ^^
Well that's all for now, send me your address in a note or email or what have you and I'll get those sweets to you when ever I get that chance to ^^.

So I take it that if you're reading Korean already, the writing system is nowhere near as tough as Japanese? Augh, man, I'd love to be abroad and studying a language like that..sounds like tons of fun! Hope you have fun at the folk village, too, that sounds like it would be a blast. Hurr hurr, at least it's not a folk village in Japan. I don't know if I could visit a Japanese village without thinking of Fatal Frame, LOL.
Well done on locking yourself out of your room. That's something I'M supposed to do! XD
Too bad you can't get right to work, eh? Well, at least you have other stuff to occupy your time. Like learning Korean.
FFFFF I WANNA VISIT YOU. Although the other way around wouldn't be bad either.
I'll go ahead and note my addy to ya. Looking forward to seeing what Korea has to offer!

POKE POKE...
So how is it going? What are you up to? Right now i am staying up late when i should be in bed for work but you know me.
Truea ended up going to the pound cause he jumped the fence and then we found out he had another owner, who his chip was set too... I got ahold of the owner and he said we could keep him. He originally saved him from a car lot where he was chained to a back fence, starved and beaten. He was trying to find a good home for him and was glad truea was still alive and not hit by a car. So i paid 70 bucks to get him out of puppy prison... (It was crazy since i am only working three hours a week)
Mom told me thanks, but honestly it was purely selfish reasons that i got him out. I love that dog. He may be Stephs dog, but i am emotionally attached to him. I get more upset than she does when he jumps the fence... I know i am weird.
Christian has a shitton of commisions for the keyblades from my anime club freinds. Hes made about 80 bucks so far and there are more orders coming in...
Erin is growing so freaking much, i mean for realz... Its crazy... Her tude is getting a little better, but not much. She is so rude sometimes to mom, i want to smack her from one side of the room to the other. She had a expo at her school today, she made awesome brownies for it, and she actually does have some freinds at school, surprisingly, but she was rude to them too... *headdesk*
Bruce is himself... He got a new dog, a bull mastiff/rotwiler/bluetick/tennesee walker... He has of course instantly shunned bandit for it. I heard him tell bandit if he attacked the puppy again he was gonna kill him... *eyeroll* other than that bruce is getting a little better with him tude too, but thats only a little.
Stephanie is doing good, being herself, but starting to get a tude so i am kicking her but in check, which i think irritates mom sometimes, but i am just doing it to make sure she doesnt turn out like erin... She is going on a sleepover this weekend and then next weekend she going camping with the girl scouts for the whole weekend. I dont know how well mom is gonna do with her gone for the WHOLE weekend... We will see...
Mom has been, well stressed recently, and really tired and she wont tell me why, but i think she is worried about something.
And you are so lucky we love you, cause if we didnt, Sveta and Ben would not still be here. We like Ben, hes a nice kid, helps out, is polite. But Sveta. Her attitude pisses everyone off, even mom. I mean there has been twice that mom had almost hit her point.*headshake* They are getting a little better, which is good.
Cleo says hi... lol... not really she is sleeping in her spot on the blue chair...
I am doing good, running around like crazy, its the end of the semester... I am so unprepared...I have a paper due on wednesday i haven even looked at, i have math to do, i have an english paper that i am bs-ing...
Jenni bought me a gym membership, so every week i am trying to go at least twice a week.
What else to update you on...I cant think of anything, but i am sure i can think of something after i get some sleep...
Everyone here misses you. I got the mom ninja picture and it is awesome. I keep telling mom she is a ninja of the mind and she says she isnt, so i ask you to draw that so i can show her and say, see Amanda thinks you are a Ninja..
Oh oh, if you really want christain to come to Korea to visit you have to talk to mom about it, cause she told him she didnt want to go, and i am sure you can talk her into it.(i know, i am bad)
Well, i have stayed up and hour too late, so i am going to head to bed now. I miss you sis, love you bunches and cant wait until you come home to visit.
Toodles,
Deep Shadows
Your crazy older sister...
PS: I need some info on this whole dude situation, mom gave a bloody heart attack when she said you might be getting hitched.
