Oh my gosh. How long has it been since I last recorded my thoughts? I think it's like a month ago or something.. So many things have happened since then. I'm currently in my professional term of SCS (Specialist Cadet School) and I'm so fucking thankful I'm not in infantry.. In fact I'm in a medic course training to be a medic specialist. Oh my god I think this is the SLACKEST course anyone could be posted to. I mean I was just hoping to not be in infantry and I didn't mind signals but I never thought I'd be posted to medics, especially since I'm a fucking arts student and I think I'm the only arts student in this course in a midst of nerdy charismatic science students.. When they called my name for medics I was like 'what the hell is that!?' And now I know. And I feel really lucky because my entire cohort comprises of only 38 people out f the original 1000 people in Specialist Cadet School. So I feel crazy lucky. Anyway the hardest thing in this course is basically staying awake. It's just lectures back to back and practical sessions with minimal physical training other than the occasional runs which I find enjoyable.. But I've seen so much blood through the 7 weeks here I don't even find blood disgusting anymore.. There are so many holes in my arms I look like a drug addict from Intravenous Cannulation (IV), basically one of the important core skills to inject a needle into someone and allow fluids to enter the body.and we have to complete 10 successful sessions altogether. But I think I've been pierced more than 20 times already... And this course is so boring with no drama at all.. The only drama we get is the occasional explosions from our Officer-In-Command who scolds us and our sergeants for the littlest things..
Okay enough about Medics... Let's move on to my social life. Okay basically non-existent since I'm only free on the weekends and it's so rushed now that I have to cramp everything together and study..
These are my medics bunkmates! On our first and only nights out so far :(
Also went to a halloween party at Mink.. It was so spontaneous I didn't even wear a costume !! UGH SO MAD. I would have loved to dress up as Michael Jackson.. Sighhhh... Never mind. I had so much fun with the peeps! The ang mohs (Caucasians) are really crazy fun their costumes were so cuuuuute!! I loved this mario and lugi pair..
That's about it for my weekends now. Just chillin' and hanging out with friends and seeking nostalgia and trying to relive my freedom days from the beginning of the year until the day I lost my freedom ( enlistment day) . Sounds sad but I really appreciate the little freedom I have in life now..
That's about it. Can't wait to pass out as a third sergeant once this course is over!
