It's not December, make the snow go back.

I haven't blogged in a while and I've been waiting to get around to typing out a huuuuge summary of my past two months (crazy to think it's been that long already... even more crazy to think that there's seven more months of this!) but I've just been pretty busy lately.

We came home from billeting on Sunday and it was very exciting to see everyone again. I had expected everyone to have made life changing and group changing decisions like I had, but it didn't happen. We had a minor issue on Tuesday night, but things got ironed out and group life is much better now. We're all making more of an effort to spend time as a group, and it's nice.

It snowed yesterday. Like, all of yesterday. So we all went outside after dinner and made snowforts (the girls one was much better because Myriam is a snowfort making master) and had a snowball fight, and then came inside and had hot chocolate and played Things. Well, mostly everyone played Things. I had dishes to do and didn't really feel like playing a game because my back hurt so I was grumpy.

We have our midtrimester reflection tonight and I'm actually excited for it. The group is in a really good place now and I think the majority of us have decided that we're in this until the end, no matter what. There was a mild scare today, and two of the boys could have gotten sent home and that would have set off a domino effect, and uh, that wouldn't be good.

I've realized that even though I might be happier somewhere else this year, there's no way that I would have the life experiences if I was somewhere else. This is where I need to be.
