Counting down the days!

It's finally sinking in that i am really doing this... Its exciting, but nerve racking too.  So many things are going through my mind right now.....


Am I ready? Physically? Mentally?
What if i fail? If i don't get guide?
What am i going to miss while i'm gone?
What if something happens at home?
Can i actually handle whats coming my way?


I need to just take a deep breath and relax, and have confidence in myself.  As long as i give 110% there is not much more I can do.  It will be hard, but i know i will survive, and i will come out as one of the best; One of the Few and One of the Proud!  That's motivation enough.


PT has been helping... I keep improving with everything.  As long as i don't quit i am good to go.  So far, I have acheived a 12:37 run, 100 sit-ups in 2 mins, and a 70sec FAH.  Before I ship out i would still like to get a faster run and more sit-ups, but as long as i don't get worse i will be happy.


I am counting down the days (20!!) until i take my step into this "new world."  Life is going to be so different.. but so worth it!!
