Two: Training

Dear Jonah

I'm learning fast but there's nothing new about that, right?  Occasionally my ambitions get the better of me, like in the kitchen.  Only for a moment though and then .. ..I'm doing this thing!

Underwater simulations are the best and I'm loving every minute of it.  Like the other day we had to practise a rescue. 

Course we have this stupid uniform to wear on base and some nights I fall asleep in front of the telly.  It's pretty intense.  Hey, it's astronaut school.

I'm finally making friends here.  Johnny Zest is always good for a game of chess (he's not very good, I always win) and Madison gets me fresh tomatoes and stuff sometimes.  People are always out on the street, jogging or working or talking. 

 I did do something stupid the other day.  We finally had a weekend off and I went to the local watering hole.  Not to really drink of course; sorta to see who was around, play a game of darts, let off some steam.  Well, out in the garden there's this guy.  I might have said something like  "Hey there handsome" which, he was, but he didn't need to know that!  Embarrassing.  I thought it was totally going to ruin my night.  Instead he said "Hi.  I'm on break at the moment but if you give me five I'll get you whatever you want -on the house."  Did I mention he was cute?

Not that you want to know that, huh?

I joined the local gym and I've taken up boxing.  That's about all. 
Hope you're well. Tell me what's happening.  What happened with that crazy, singing old lady in the end?  Are they letting you do anything with patients yet?



Love you heaps, Love you always
Ana.
