Commissioning

So I commissioned a few days ago and became a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. Now I just need to go through all that training to learn how to fly really fast stuff. I'm excited.

1984

I was walking out to my car at university and someone had painted "2+2=5" on the sidewalk. This is probably a reference to George Orwell's 1984. The part of the book that has that particular mathematic equation is a part where the main character is basically being told by the establishment that he has no free thought, that "Big Brother" can make any ridiculous thing up and it has to be true because "Big Brother" said so. Basically the theme of the book is to promote free thinking and to fight against "Big Brother."
"The Establishment" is viewed as this huge evil that needs to be fought so people try to make little statements about it by painting things like "2+2=5" on sidewalks. The thing that strikes me as funny is that 1984 is required reading in a lot of high school English classrooms. So, isn't that one of the definitions of "The Establishment"? So making the reference and hoping people get the reference is relying on "The Establishment" and defeating the whole purpose of painting it on the sidewalk in the first place.
Just my opinion.

Getting close to finals

So I'm officially feeling burned out. I've been working on my two huge final projects for the past 24+ hours and I'm feeling the pain. I even worked a graveyard shift and did homework while I worked (one of the advantages of being a security guard). All I know is that I'll be grateful when this is all over and I'm flying planes for the Air Force.

Midnight

So I'm one of those old married persons that doesn't stay up later than 11 and tries to get to bed by 10 as much as possible. Last night I was up til midnight doing homework and still managed to wake up at 7. And I'm still behind in my other homework. Awesome, eh?

New Shift

I got a new shift at work that's rather interesting. I go to a "rehab" location and help a nurse hand out methadone; or that is to say I sit there while a nurse hands out methadone just to make sure nothing crazy happens. Weird eh?

Um

So my wife decided to post a picture of me with my shirt off. How weird is that?
