Frustration.

I know I say this a lot, but I can't believe in two days it will be Thanksgiving and once this week is over I will have 2 weeks of school left, it is absolutely crazy! I'm very happy that the semester is over, I'll miss my schedule but I'm sick of certain classes and I just want this semester to be over.

However, my anxiety is through the roof right now. And yes, I have an anxiety disorder which a lot of people didn't know about when I was in high school. I've been dealing with it for years, since I was in 3rd grade. My anxiety is mainly school based, especially with tests and exams but sometimes my anxiety affects me socially too. I've noticed since entering college I've become more introverted and prefer being alone than with a big group of people. It's whatever, I take medicine and talk to a doctor regularly  I deal with it and try not to let anxiety rule my life.

Moving on!

I can't stand the Marine Corp right now, Eric has been in Japan for 2 years this month and I just am seriously about to lose it with the command in Okinawa. He was actually supposed to be home THIS MONTH, but his time extended an extra month. His gear is all turned in so why is figuring out when he comes home is so hard? This isn't rocket science and paperwork should take 2+ weeks to do...

SO WHY DON'T WE KNOW WHEN HE IS COMING HOME?!

I'm just upset because its been our experience (Eric's and mine) that when the USMC takes a long time to figure out something, Eric's leave has gotten screwed over and his leave was shortened or cut in half. He's supposed to have 45 days and frankly I would be happy if he got more than 10 days but I just don't want this to get screwed up. He's just been away for too long and I don't want the USMC to mess this up for him. Eric deserves to be home for awhile.

I am just so frustrated with everything right now, with school, with the USMC....

I just want to know when my future husband will be home...is that too much to ask?

2 years.

This really isn't a update, just a milestone really...

2 years ago today Eric left for for a 2 year deployment in Japan...and in a few weeks, 

he will be home for good

November 2010, at the airport before he left for Japan

and then we were apart for four months, November-March

He then went to jump school in Fort Benning, Georgia. 

My mom and I flew down to see him.

Eric got some leave after jump school and was able to come back to Ohio for a few days in April:

After April he was gone for 8 months..and came home for Christmas 2011

In January he went to Freefall school for a month in Arizona.

I flew out to see him.

After that we were apart for 7 months, till he came home in July

:) 

can't wait till you are finally home babe!

I cannot believe that it's November! I am actually really happy that it's November, but at the same time I'm like...HOLY CRAP ITS NOVEMBER! There is a lot going this month, Veterans Day break, my mom's birthday, Thanksgiving break and before you know, boom! November will be over! I am really excited for Christmas because of a few reasons, I love Christmas, second Kent gets a COMPLETE month off this year and lastly Eric will be back in the states for good. I am so excited for him to be home...he will be home longer than 4 days and more than 10 days. Ever since Eric has been sent to Japan for a 2 year deployment, he has never gotten more than 10 days of leave. I am so thankful and excited.

However, I have a lot to do this month! I want to hangout with my friends, start making Christmas presents, finish my room and actually paint it, hangout with family and get a head start on my final papers for this semester. A lot of my classes actually don't have final exams, instead you write a paper which counts for your final. So I would really like to get those papers started and maybe even finished before or right after Thanksgiving.

So my goals for this month are:

To get our outdoor Christmas decorations up early, to study my butt off and get my papers started, to bake/cook something for Thanksgiving, get a new pair of boots for a low price and save up more money/change!

The name of my blog means "victory" in katakana, I want this month to be productive so December won't be so crazy! 

Wish me luck~
