"It's suprising that I've been in SEP for 2 weeks now. It feels longer than that. I'm half way there, just need to sign ADSEP, get a plane ticket, and go through my departure debrief. After all that, I'm on the plane home and I'm free.
Sorry I didn't make it, mom and dad. I really did try."
I still feel really bad. I wanted the military to work out, and I would be living out on my own. That was the plan.

"A lot of people are using one of their yellow PT shirts as yearbooks. Everyone is signing, putting pictures on them, and making up quotes. Everyone seems extremely happy that their paperwork will start moving again. It means people will start leaving soon. I'm a little happy as well."
I really should have been a lot happier than I was. It was a big deal to get out of there sooner.

"I'm having a weird morning today. Nothing is really happening, I'm still slightly sick with a cough, runny nose and a headache. I just feel weird. Like I'm comfortable, but not at the same time. Everything just seems weird."
What was I on?

"I took a decent nap and woke up to movies being played. So, I decided to join people watching the flash. As I was watching, leadership made people do jobs for them. They thought they could use me, but since I'm SIQ, I'm just suppose to rest and get better. When I told them, they sent me back to my rack. So, I'm no longer able to watch any of the TVs."
That problem fixed itself pretty quickly.

"I'm finally starting to feel better. And I mean really better, I only took my medicine this morning. I still plan to take it before I go to sleep, to be safe. But, I'm finally feeling better."
To clarify, they told me to take the medicine about 4 times a day. So, I'm a little surprised that I was sick for such a short amount of time.
"People are going to chow now, which is no longer a mile away. Thank goodness. I'm not going this time, cause I want to take advantage of the SIQ chit and not go outside in the cold. But this will be the last time, cause the chit ends tomorrow. While they're gone I'm going to take a shower.
People also moved a TV next to my rack."
Problem solved.
