Guns.

Hey,

Today was pretty awesome. So i'm down here in El Paso, TX for a nursing internship through ROTC. Basically I shadow a nurse and take over patient care, learn from the LT i'm shadowing and practice skills. The Army provided housing for us and it's not that great. It is a YMCA but it's equivalent to a Motel 6 of the worst kind. My air conditioner works, my water runs and my toilet flushes, i'm not really complaining too bad. There are a few down sides; the Y is located in the ghetto. We were ordered not to walk outside the premises because it was unsafe. We don't have any kind of transportation, but what is given to us by a few of the officers around.

My LT was great enough to invite the 3 cadets who didn't work tonight (myself, and two others) out shooting with a few of his officer friends. The whole eight cadets were planning on going to see the movie "The Purge" tonight and we were supposed to have plenty of time between shooting and the movie showtime. It turns out that shooting lasted quite a bit longer than it was supposed to and the three of us were late returning. The others were pissed. It's stupid.

Anyways, at the range we shot a whole variety of weapons: Shotguns, handguns, rifles etc.

It was a load of fun and i'm happy I went.

P.S. I should have always treated you better. I shouldn't have ignored your phone calls or your text messages. All you wanted was to talk with me and be with me. I shouldn't have taken that for granted and now that you're doing it to be, I realize how wrong it is. I'm so utterly sorry.
