Playing Soldier

I've been so busy this week, mainly because I am preparing to leave tomorrow for ROTC Field Training Exercises at Camp Blanding until Sunday. I am so nervous because they are evaluating me on what I have learned throughout my 3 years in ROTC to prepare me for the real evaluation this summer in Ft. Lewis, Washington. The evaluation at summer will determine my branch in the Army and my ranking in the nation as a cadet. This weekend I have to do land navigation and squad missions for 3 days straight. The only thing that sucks about going is that we have to sleep outside in the woods and we can not take showers. I can imagine that it will be very cold and I will be mentally drained from the weekend. Tonight, I am going to take my mind off things and hang out with my fraternity brothers and just have fun. When I get back, I am going to take a long shower and eat junk food. Playing soldier gets difficult at times, but it is what I have to do.
