Meeep Meeep, dashing around doing things

Meep meep! so many things to do! i have effectively made my entire weekend and now days leading away from weekend, filled up, when usually it should be this time which i'm most free.

Just this week so far: Weekend was kinda no life, haha. Sat morn was rehearsal, and had the whole afternoon to myself! but due to others not having free time, i spent the rest of the day just reading SHAMAN KING! haha, well at least i'm almost up to speed with the series! i even had to write myself a note to stop wasting my time just reading shaman king, need to get on with the rest of my life! Sunday was pretty much all rehearsal, since it was pushed forward to 3pm, and lasted all the way till 8+.

Yesterday, guess what i did? REHEARSAL, again. haha, seems like monday is our designated weekday rehearsal. so down to SMU and rehearsed till 9ish. Its only 3 more weeks till production! i can't wait! haha, i want to see it all put together, in its entirety and profession, but also, i just want it to be over, then i can get onto the rest of the plans i have!

speaking of clashing plans... I just got my duty forecast! and man is it giving me a mondo-headache! first, i have a duty on production DAY (Fri, 17th) and i'd gladly trade it for other days, but i've got ANOTHER FRIDAY, and a SATURDAY on the weekend just before production.... sigh... the trouble. now desperately trying to get my duties swapped out.

Just in case you were wondering what Duty is. For me i'm doing Guard Duty, Prowling. so basically i stay in camp, get assigned a detail, and do 2 hours of prowling and then 4 hours of rest, and this goes on for about 2 cycles on a weekday, and 4 cycles on a weekend. prowling is just walking the camp area, with arms drawn of course. It actually sounds quite fun, since i get duty rest the next day and that means no need to do work for half a day, but this doesn't happen if i got friday duties (since next day is Sat) and Sat duties (since next day is Sun), paired with sunday also being 24-hr duty, these are the 3 worst days to have duty. sigh... i actually don't mind doing (i believe Ni3 De Jiu4 Shi4 Ni3 De, Bu4 Shi4 Ni3 De Jiu4 Bu4 Shi4 De, or translated to What is yours is yours, what isn't yours isn't yours) but this month is just messed up. I should have submitted my duty committments with more thought put into it... sadly, i didn't >.< now i gotta go clear the mess i made.

Along with Duty committments, the work at unit is starting to come in. as i learn more from Jeremy, i find that there is a lot more to know. I actually don't like the helpless feeling of always needing someone else's card, or needing Jeremy to approve and check whatever i'm doing, but it is part of the learning process, and it is this discomfort that will drive me to learn things on my own.

I actually prefer and education like this. learning on the job, and watching as what i learn immediately get translated into doing something, or improving a job process. I've always been this hands on guy, and i learn best by trying things on my own, making a few careful mistakes, and picking myself up along the way.

However, despite all this enthusiasm, the day still seems to pass very slowly. like i'm waiting forever for the clock to strike 12pm for lunch and 5pm for fall out, maybe because i'm still a dependant, still observing, and not really taking on the responsibilities full force. but hey, take it easy! its just the 2nd week, you still have a whole 1+ year to go!

Tomorrow's another day. Wednesday. damn, this week a bit the slow huh? haha. and this friday is my first Duty, coupled with rehearsal on Sat morn. woo. haha, i hope i don't burn out! (maybe i should reward myself with a nice breakfast on Sat!)

till then, army boy out!
