Recognition

I honestly thought this day would never come at times. I never knew how gratifying it would feel to be able to freely engage in basica ctivities such as talking, addressing someone by their first name, and sitting down in a restaurant.  But such is the feeling of freedom I will finally enjoy in August when I return as a Yuk will be amazing to me.  It seemed so surreal being able to walk around without fear of being hazed by a grumpy Cow.  Next year will definitely be a lot more fun, almost like being a human being!

Plebe Year

Never in my life have I felt so restricted for such a long period of time. The "no talking outside" rule, the room and uniform standards, the constantly structured schedule, and many other things weighed on me as time went on this year. Only a few more weeks until recognition, I just hope I can hold out until then. I feel like people have personal vendettas against me, even though I'm just trying to blend in. Sometimes I wonder if I'm made for this. I know that I can still leave up until the beginning of Cow year...
