Hello, spring break! As my friends are off traveling I'm still home, and will be for the duration of the week, working everyday so I can afford college. Not like I would be on the next plane to Cancun even if I could be. Italy sounds better. Especially the Naval base in Naples. If Anthony could take me there I would forgive him for ever leaving me home in the first place. I'm just saying that would be wonderful compensation for all the sadness, anxiety and general loneliness. I'm kidding, leaving for the Navy requires no forgiving, but Naples would still be nice. I've done my fair share of learning Italian thanks to all the language requirements in high school and college. Ho studiato la lingua di Italia per due anni nella scuola e due semestre all'universita. (I studied the language of Italy for two years at school and two semesters in college.) It's been awhile since I've had to use it but I can conjure up a couple sentences now and again. It's been a dream of mine to visit Italy and it would be even more amazing if I got to share it with Anthony.
As for the current situation, our anniversary has come and gone and things generally are the same. Anthony is still enjoying this easy-going time as well as I. The action has plateaued for the moment and I admit it is quite nice. Though, I feel bad that Anthony is kind of wandering around while all his friends are still studying and stressing. He is in this awkward place in between Nuke and the fleet, or Nuke and wherever they plan to put my sailor. I've been hearing on the news lately about the possibility of the U.S. going to war with North Korea. God help us all. I told Anthony this morning that if we went to war and he got assigned to anything directly related to that I would be a mess. Might as well just bury me now. I told him that he just can't get hurt. We didn't even get started yet in life. How could I possibly go on? Seems dramatic, and the skeptics say I'm young so naturally there will be others. However, when you plan your future around one person and that person around you and then suddenly that foundation is demolished, who really has the motivation to keep going?
This is morbid, let's not worry about that right now. Let's try not to panic. Anthony said that the North Korea thing is "bad news", but still, nothing has happened yet. No use crying over milk that isn't spilled simply because it could be. Unless I hear from Anthony that he has been assigned to a base on the west coast, I won't get in a tizzy. I will continue to enjoy the current calm seas and hope the wind doesn't pick up.
