Recruiter School Day 4

      I slept terribly last night. I woke up and couldn't fall asleep for over an hour in the middle of the night and then woke up a few times after that. I definitely didn't wake up and do PT either. I slept in till the last minute, with just enough time to get dressed, eat breakfast and walk to class. 
     Despite all this I still made a 100 on my exam! Which brought my GPA up and now I'm happy with it. You have to have an 80% in the class to pass and you have to have an 80% by the end of each week to keep going in the course as well. It really isn't that hard, but you do need to pay attention in class at the very least. I studied for all of 2 hours this entire 4 day weekend and made a 100. Chalk it up to my ability to memorize or luck, I'm just happy with the grade.
    The rest of the day was spent studying new regulations and concepts about recruiting. I once again am finding myself really engaged in this course, unlike almost any other army course, and I'm buying into the philosophy of being an army recruiter. I think that I can help people accomplish there goals and change their lives. The army has certainly been a blessing to to me and my family. 
    I ate my lunch quickly in my room and took a short snooze. The afternoon class lasted until 1800 in the evening so by the time I sat down to eat my dinner and video chat my family it was almost 1900. We have a good chat and have to get off because the boys need to go to sleep. They are really cranky and I wish I could be home to hold them before bed. 
     I take a walk and talk with my wife about her day and mine. She's worried about getting lots of fleas in the house after seeing one. She cleaned the entire house, top to bottom. Hats off to her doing that with the two boys all to herself. I tell her about my day and we slowly get ready for bed. I decide I'll shower off but just when I say that I hear my roommate swing the shower curtain and turn the water on. Classic. After he gets out, I hop in and forget that I left some boiling tea on the stove halfway through and run out of the shower to turn the burner off. The tea will be very strong.
     I plan on reading the bible until I tire out and lay down. Hopefully this strong decaf tea doesn't keep me up.
