Yup, the birth control glasses are awful. Michael couldn't wait to get back his contacts once he PIR.

Honestly, yes boot really really sucks, however just because it sucks does not mean its hard! it sucks because it is 60 days of doing a whole bunch of shit you hate to do (complete silence, getting yelled at, folding clothes, little sleep, stupid people in your div, exorcising which isnt too bad but IT sucks!, missing home... and the list goes on) now this isnt intended to scare u but i told myself i would be as honest as i could to anyone who asks. once again yes it REALLY sucks but it is not hard. you WILL make it through just remember that. by the time you are done you are going to realize how amazing all the little things are like private showers, or sitting on couches lol, but all in all it was a good experience.

As for likes and dislikes, honestly i disliked the whole thing with the exception of battle stations it is alot of fun! but other than that its super lame!

Also, expect to sit there and do nothing ALOT. thats the worst part.

as for advice all i have is dont be a wussie thats all.

GOOD LUCK

any other questions feel free to ask =D

oh and BTW A school is totally worth it. i LOVE it here its the shit!
