Grandslam over, half the course done with, and lesser things to worry about for the time being. Incredibly, time actually flies when you are not paying attention, and before you know it everything's done.

I think I've learnt a lot over the past week itself, being placed in hot-soup situations almost every minute, forced to think and react accordingly even in the worst mental condition possible and pushing forward even if the odds are against you. Really, what drives you depends on how clear your mind is at any one point of time. Once negativity corrupts and eats away at your thoughts, you are done for.

I'm actually glad to have been through the experience as an appointment holder over the course of the exercise last week, even at the expense of having almost no rest for 2 days. Being tested and pressured is probably something that makes life interesting and really, there's no better grounds to experience that than in the military itself.

I have no idea why or what I'm typing right now 'cos I think my mind's been fried from all the stress for the last 2 weeks so I think I better leave it as it is for now. Missing so many things and so many people at present.
