I'm settling in I think

Now, if I can just keep up with my college classes, I should be good to go.

Work feels slightly less overwhelming, which is good. It will get monotonous, I am sure, but isn't that normal with any job? Ok, except for the getting shot at by mortars by evil insurgents bit.

I got a new room, with only 2 other roomies. Which is nice. They work opposite shifts, so only one is in the room at any part of the day. So there's fewer to disturb when I come barging in with body armor and such at 0730. And these roomies aren't nosey, which is also nice.

Today I will get my mailing address, so Ziggy and anyone else can send me things. Since my suitcase handle is broken, I may have to acquire a new suitcase for the trip home. Hopefully I won't have so much stuff for the return trip. I know I don't have to haul my chem suit and such all the way back to the States, and that's a great relief. WAY too many bags to lug around. And my suitcase should be a good deal lighter, so that'll be nice. I already have a list of things that I want Ziggy to send me.

Well, I am off to a briefing. Stay safe, guys.....

P.S. Thanks for the shout-out, Crazy Girl!
