irregularity

Yet another quick recap post, if at the least, to maintain a minimum of one post per month on average.

But anyhoos, what a past month it has been, though unfortunately i don't think that i can say much, if anything about it here. Suffice to say that it was three weeks or so of (somewhat surprisingly enjoyable) overseas reservist, i went there pale and i came back, well, black(-ish), Oh the grossness that is peeling skin.

After that long a time spent there, unlike most of the others i did not really look forward to coming back. My reservations were quickly justified upon the first day of stepping back into school. The semi-amusing comments from students and teachers alike about my quantum leap in skin tone aside, it was a grim day when i finally had to face the consequences of an extended (but oh so blissful) time away from school, consequences that i only now, around a week-and-a-half later, am beginning to recover from. I don't know if there's been any talk about making the yearly ICT less of a hassle for NS Men, particularly those who work in the public/civil service (since one could logically argue that more could be done in such cases to make it such that this mandated time away from work does not have to adversely affect how things turn out before and after the ICT itself), but if there is, well then *note to self to activate my self censorship switch* MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE!
