I've not written much over the last twelve weeks. Not that I haven't wanted to, but I've just been so beat when I get home and finally sit down in front of the computer. But today, I really need to write, so I'm putting this on paper while sitting in class.
The entire cadet population of Basic Academy 147 is in an emotional slump right now. Yesterday was hell. We spent four and a half hours taking ten tests that varied from ten to forty-five questions each. I usually don't get stressed about testing. It's one of those things I'm good at. I go in. I take the test. It's done. All is good. But usually, our testing sessions only last about two to three hours. By the time we finished yesterday, I was spent.
We had an afternoon class after the tests though, so we all went, despite the mental exhaustion. That was when we got the news that one of our fellow cadets was leaving.
( Oy, this gets really long )
