Lot's of Stuff, and some more you guessed it, stuff.
Well, life has certainly not been dull these past couple of weeks. Between school, working at Wal-mart, and flying at the base I haven’t really had time to even think clearly. The good news is that summer is upon us. Even if I take a couple summer courses my load should be somewhat lighter.
So I guess I will finally write about what is going on. I’ve been extremely stress out for about the last few months. The job I perform in the military requires that you constantly study material pertaining to your job. Well I have been, but I still haven’t meeting what they want of me. To make a really long story at least a little shorter, I’ve been going to the base for the last month to try to get my knowledge back up to speed. Fast forward to last week, I go to the base and take my annual check ride. I didn’t pass, which really sucks. I received a call from my chief (supervisor) on Tuesday. He was just trying to let me know what is going on. As it stands now they are pretty much going to eliminate me from the flying career field. I can voluntarily get out of that career field, or they will basically have a special board and kick me out. So I kind of have 2 options. I can train into another field, although it can’t have anything to do with airplanes. That doesn’t leave me very many options. Or I can try to get out. I’ve already discussed that with my chief and he is cool with it. In fact every one but my wing commander is cool with that. So we will see.
I finally went to the doctor Wed and admitted that I have been having a lot of problems with anxiety. It has been horrible. I haven’t been able to sleep, or concentrate. I get an incredible tight feeling in my chest a lot, and I dread doing almost everything. I’ve been trying to overcome that on my own, but I just couldn’t. My doc put me on Zoloft. Hopefully that will make a difference. It would be marvelous to go through life with out always being anxious.
I’ll try to end on a positive note. I’m doing really well in school this semester. I’m really hoping to get all A’s and B’s like I did last semester. I‘ve got a lot of homework left to do in the next week or so, but I do believe I’ll pull it off. I haven’t decided if I’m going to take summer school or not just yet. I would be great to only work for a couple of months.
