Less then 50

So in less then 50 days. 49 to be exact though closer to 48, I will be a graduate of Shoal Lake School. Less then a week after that I'll be over my head in real life and military life. Man am I excited. Everytime I go outside to work on the farm I get even more excited. That's because everytime I do farmwork I'm reminded about how much I don't want to spend my life farming. Did you know that in the Manitoba Job List Newspaper the school handed out that Farm Manager is the only job in the province that a annual average starting salary can't be mentioned?! I must say who wants a job where the salary is that unpredictable. Though you can't knock farmers. It is the most important career in the world, because with out them we wouldn't have food, and with out food life would be quite difficult. Did you know that farming is one of the oldest professions? The other oldest being prostitution. I guess we all know where the caveman's priorities were the day they decided to come up with professions. Though I guess we should all be happy their priorities were in those two areas or we wouldn't be here.

So I still have yet to recieve any paperwork from the CF, which is frustrating, though I know for a fact I'm not the only one in that boat or as I prefer airplane. It is undoubtedly part of the hurry up and wait lifestyle that every known military and military organization seems to have built into it. Though in my mindless meandering on the interweb I did find this little gem of info about my near future http://www.rmc.ca/military/ji/index_e.html

It's a good little read about how my life is going to become extremely fun in my eyes (despite the amount of work and such) or extremely hellish in the eyes of people who think it's like hazing. Anyways I gotta get up early tomorrow. I'm biking to school from now on as much as possible hopefully to get in better shape, because I'm quite out of shape and I have very little time to change that so that I don't die of exhaustion on IAP.
