Drill Meet and 'K'
Ok so I wake up at 2:45 am, Ya know that feeling when you want to get out of bed but you don't. Well, I had that feeling till about 3:14 when my mom busted open the door and yelled, "Michael we leave in 15 minutes lets go, GET UP!!!!" So I ran into the shower I shaved in aboput 3 minutes dried and put on my jogging suit. Grabbed a banana and hopped in the car. 10 minutes later we arrive at school, I am a cheif (when you reach the rank of cheif you gain a but load of responsibilities so I had to be there early) so I had start rounding up all the freshman and sophmores who were trying to sleep. 'K' got there 15 minutes later and I got side tracked wjile flirting with her (well attempting, it is really hard to flirt with a girl at 4 o'clock in the morning). Any way at 4:45 the charter bus arrived and we slept all the way to the drill meet, I think it was like 3 hours maybe 2. So we get there at around 7 and we dont do anything till 10. Unfortunately I'm on the academic team so I had to take a test at 8:45. I finished the test with about 45 minutes to get in my uniform. All the guys were in the bathroom and almost done changing by the time the Ac. Team got there. I had to share my extra black socks to some of the freshmen and a couple of my brand new white undershirts. and then we fall in for inspection, then we drill (this is the stuff that wont make sense to most people so I'll fast foward) Ok, now the the athletics department. It started out with pushups. The way it worked was there were 2 schools in the room, the only way it would be fair is if the other shcool would count. So i got this guy named Adam to count he went first and did 52 pushups in caedence next I went and did 57, unfortunately Adam is a sore loser and he didn't count outloud there fore I 'only' did 52 pushups. I was pissed but I didn't care I was tired from doing pushups. Then we did sit ups. Adam went and he got 89 sit ups... Then I went and got 163 sit ups ('K' got 38 pushups and 176 situps) Anyway All the guys on my team got over 115 situps only one guy on there team got over 100 sittups. We owned them. (My aim for nationals is 70 pushups and 250 situps, wish me luck) Ok, then we had to go down to the track to run the 16x100 (16 people relay each running 100 yards/meters) I was on the team but Masterseargent(Our teacher and mentor) was worried about my knee so he replaced me with another cadet (Grrrr!!) So I watched... we beat the team we raced against but there were 14 scholls total we raced for time not heats. Then the 8x220 was held 'K' ran both of these and we wasted eevry one. After that we had the award ceremony we placed 1st in situps 2nd in pushups 1st in basic drills(2 of them) 3rd in exhibition drills(2 of them) 3rd in colorgaurd 1st in the running events(2 of them) and 1st in academics. We got first place over all and we celerated by rubbing shaving cream on anyones face who fell asleep on the way back. It was awesome. 'K' is a heavy sleeper we never got her but she slept through all the noise we made so she slept the entire way back.

I never really got any time to talk with 'K' today I hope me waiting until monday or tuesday to ask her out wasn't a mistake... Oh well

later
