Spring Break : Day 1
Feb. 27th, 2009 02:23 pmObama sets date to end Iraq Combat Mission
I got chills. Of course, it's not going to be easy. My dad was talking about how the Joint Chiefs are skittering their toes at the edge of the idea, and that there might need to be a 50,000 troop retainer to "keep the peace", but this is the first time since the "conflict" began that I feel we've got some real answers about when the troops can come home. I remain cautiously optimistic.
And I'm feeling much better today. I don't think I caught the cold in time for the zinc tablets to do much good, but I've been stacking a combo of anti-cold medication and vitamin C for the last twenty-four hours and today is the first day that I can sense a real shift in the way I feel. It probably helped that I got nine hours of sleep last night. And that I let a little pressure out of my tires because I'm on Spring Break for the next two weeks. I've still got a lot to do for class, but I'll spread it out over the holiday and try not to get too wrapped up with the underlying stress. 'Filled out my FAFSA application this morning, too, so that's a load off.
Today? I'm taking it easy. Todd and I went out and rented movies last night, and I've got Malice and The Librarian: Quest for the Spear waiting for me. YES, I AM A NERD, WHY DO YOU ASK?
