The Army

I got my life back on Friday after three days in Military School, or Boot Camp. Not sure how to translate the basic soldier training I have to complete as part of my employment.

Before leaving camp on Friday, one of the girls turned to me and said; It’s been really fun this week! I looked at her and replied that it has indeed been fun. On Thursday night I was the fastest of all girls when we ran 3000 meters. But it’s also been crap at times, physically tough and super intense learning. She agreed.

On Friday night all muscles in my body hurt, I felt tired and I had a headache. I spent the evening watching Simpson’s on TV whilst having two portions of pasta, two pieces of bread and a chocolate bar for dessert. Although I was sitting on the floor in a half empty room – since my flat is being renovated; it was beautiful. I was in charge of my life again and with an entire weekend ahead to spend as I please.

This resulted in attending a carnival in Uppsala on Saturday, meeting up with friends and having lunch, shopping, cooking food, cleaning my flat, shopping more on Sunday, washing, painting an old mirror and putting up stuff on my walls, etc.

I am exhausted!

I was meant to relax this weekend but the highly productive 12-14 hour days in Boot Camp has totally put me in a speeded mode and I find it hard to unwind all of a sudden. At least it’s another short week ahead. Only three days... I can do it.
