I got back from church and now just waiting for chow. I had a nice conversation about food shops in New York. That made my mouth water just thinking about it.

Everyone I talk to seem to be getting more depressed with the holidays. I'm trying to keep my spirits up, but it's difficult. Ihave been sneaking in some snacks to have tommorrow and have a nice meal. I even got myself a candy cane. Staying in season.

I should watch some more of the Flash."

Everyone was having a tough time during the holidays.

Someone lost their wallet for a bit, but once they found it apperently it was missing 40 dollars. More tention."

When that guy lost his wallet, the RDC made everybody stop what they were doing to find it. Nobody was happy about that.

Chow was eventful. First I learn how everyone is smuggling all the brownies and sweets in the compartment. Second, I managed to secure myself a cookie for christmas. Third, we somehow pissed the petty officer off again and now we have to line up in alphabetical order or worse."

The way they smuggled in the sweets, was to stuff it in their underwear. It was gross and made me regret buying the brownie. My way of smuggling stuff in was just putting it in my pocket and don't look suspicious. Somehow I never got caught.

"Wellit's worse. We're going to be "practicing" something, until next chow. Great, 3 hours of standing, lining up, sitting, and being quiet. I want out of here, people around me keep talking about either killing themselfs or someone else. This place breaks people. And when someone breaks, they drag someone with them."

I don't know why I wrote down that embarrassing line. Maybe I wanted to sound wise or something. But that was a total failure.

"We have until 3:10pm to do whatever and than we get to "practice".

After TAPS prices go up 2x or 3x the average market."

Thanks for reading. I'll post the next few pages tomorrow. Sorry for not writing as much commentary, I have been really busy trying to find a job, so my mind is preoccupied. But, thank you again for reading, It means a lot to me.
