Hi everyone!
Sorry I have been very busy the last couple of days. Saturday my friends and I went to the last song and then headed to Gate 2 on Kadena Air Force Base. It was...interesting to say the least. Since we have a strict curfew we were all home by one. On Sunday we all relaxed and spent the day at the beach. We then went to a restaurant near the beach for dinner. The restaurant served American food with a little twist. For dessert they would put a french toast stick (just one) on the side of your plate. There were geckos on the walls and I wanted to throw up a little bit while I was eating. When I went to pay the store clerk I only had my debit card, he told me he would be right back and ran off with my card for 5-10 minutes. I was not sure what he was doing, but I was hoping he was not getting some sweet stuff on ebay. Monday we had a lot of training ranging from mandatory child abuse training to different types of diseases. It was not exciting since I have received most of the training through education at UNI. Today we had our first day in the water. We had to swim a 500 and then we learned a bunch of fun games to play with our kids during lessons. We got to play all of them and we all had a lot of fun. We are allowed to get the classes at the Marine's gym for free so tonight we took a Zumba class. It was one of the most fun things I have done in a long time. The teacher was very energetic and even came up to dance on me at one point in the class. It was a pretty intense workout as well. Hope everyone is having a good week!
