A-school and such

Hey guys!

This weekend was really great. I took my test on Friday and only missed 3 questions. Then it was my duty free weekend so I didn't have to worry about standing watch or staying in the building.
I went and watched Despicable Me 2 and the Lone Ranger. Both were really good. It's been awhile since a movie has had my full attention. I usually fall asleep or my brain just goes off on the things I need to be doing.

Today has not been that great. Today is my duty day and that's fine. On duty days you can only leave the building to go eat and you have to stay in the uniform of the day. (So I can't get comfy until it's time for bed.) Today was also my first day of AES. (I'm not sure what that acronym means.) It's basically where I didn't get my lesson done in class so I stay late and finish it. It's really great that they offer that so I don't get behind. Tomorrow morning I'll be with the rest of the class. They also have this thing called Open Learning. That is where you can stay late and just go over the lessons you have learned.

I know I'm going to try and go to open learning as often as I can.

I left the school house in tears. This stuff is not clicking. It really doesn't seem that complicated but today was an overload of formulas. I remember in math class in high school we would probably only learn one formula a week.

They told us coming into this school that the military has condensed the program. Probably so they aren't wasting taxpayers dollars and get us to our jobs more quickly. In the civilian world this program would be 3 months. Here it is just 1.

I am really discouraged. I want to do well, I really do. After today though I just want to get through it. If I fail 3 tests then they can and probably will set me back. They say that it is a small percent that actually gets dropped, most just get set back.

I want to be done as soon as I can. I miss my husband terribly.

On a positive note Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble. 

I love you guys!
Please keep me in your prayers. I really need them.
