[OOC] Digital or Real?

[Genkai]

It's popped up in one of my group RPs to paraphrase, I have 3 essays, a test, and have to read about...200-300 pages for this coming week, most of which can't be finished until I get my textbooks which are delayed due to the state being slow with paperwork. >___> Ahem. *sighs*

*Pats* Poor GK! Well you take your time :) I don't want this to be another thing on your plate, of course.

[Genkai]

Well the busy week is over, mostly, and now I can finally have some fun. How have you been~?

[Scout]

Pretty good, to be honest. ^_^ Been procrastinating posts by playing more Destiny than I care to admit. I should be ready to sign my enlistment papers in two months, at the rate I'm going :) so I'm really excited with that. Despite that day being the one I put in my two week's notice at work, I'll have to see about the time I have to post. Since I'll be spending more time with friends and family before departing, I may be slower. Then foot eight weeks I'll be completely unreachable. ^^ a bridge we will cross when we get to it.

Yeah, when my brother enlisted, he spent a lot of time with us and we had a HUGE partying for him going overseas. When he comes back say for only a few days, he spends most of the time at home which we really do appreciate. But if he has about two or three weeks back, then he goes out a lot and plays video games home, just to relax and whatever. I hope you enjoy your time. I'm surprise they're still accepting people into the military though since what I heard, reenlisting is getting hard since they're starting to cut back but if you can get in and stay in, you're set up fairly nicely...ya know if you're in an area where they don't lose your paperwork. ^^; I got an essay back today, got an A. I'm working on another essay this week and a test but I am gonna try and get you something between now and my next class in like...2 hours but I'm also doing some homework since I was busy yesterday doing some reading and well watching Breaking Bad. >___> But I'm glad you're able to enjoy your time before things change.

Take your ttime :) and they have to keep accepting people add their officers retire and others move up... it's a cycle. But they're getting pickier. I'm not great physically, but I can be and my ASVAB score was 96, so they don't want me to lose interest. my recruiter lost my paperwork, I'm sure, I've been taking a long time to get in, but I'm finally coming down the home stretch, so I'll be seeing him again soon. No worries about taking time to yourself ^^ I've been playing Destiny and just chilling a lot. Not looking forward to having to vanish from all my rps XD but it'll also be nice to be able to clear my plate and get back to only having a couple once I get back.

I'll try to get something, I feel like shit for making people wait. >___< Next semester I may want to only do three classes, four isn't killing me but it's almost killing me and when I don't get time to write, I really feel bad and my emotional stress should be taken into consideration. I'm doing fairly well so far so maybe my parents won't mind if I do one less class next semester since I'll be helping them move into a much smaller place and trying to take care of them too since I can't live with them now, unless I'm "a live in nurse" ^^; And I'm glad you like Destiny, it looked fun but it got some hot/cold reviews from what it sounds like, it all depends on the player how they enjoy the game and what it has to offer which hey, goes for anyone. I hope you enjoy being enlisted, any idea where you're heading off to first?

[Scout]

Well don't you dare feel bad for making me wait. :) It happens and you know life comes first, I'll never fault you for it! You're doing fantastically. Takin gthree classes sounds like a good idea - a full load for something like writing can be too much... Especially if you're worrying about roleplaying and your parents. ^^ Doing for yourself isn't so selfish as some will make you think. As for Destiny, I lovedd it when it came out and during the Beta... Then I had a time where I really hated it. I thought my expectations weren't met, etc.... but then, to be honest, I got back to just hanging with a few friends, shooting some enemies of the light, finding new activities to enjoy, working for new gear, and I kind of just fell back into a rhythm with it. I'm glad I did too, it feels good to enjoy a game again. As for enlistment, I know my training with the Navy will be 8-10 weeks at the Great Lakes base near/in/around Chicago, IL. After that, I go to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA, about 2h outside of San Francisco. I've heard nothing but amazing things about living at the DLI, especially for a longer time period. They say that even though it's a hefty workload, you still get to enjoy your time there and that's good to me - I love work when it's in that field. ^_^
