I'm so dumb sometimes...

I was talking to Maya about me getting into my college summer program, and I was making plans, saying

"You should come visit me and stay in my dorm room."

But she told me,

"But Riley, I ship out on June 6th."

I was like, "Ship out? Ship out to where?"

She said, "To basic training! What did you think I was doing all that R.O.T.C stuff for?"

I guess she's been wanting to join the army since she was about twelve.

And I guess she's actually going to go for it.

So I was like, "After graduation, I'm just... Never going to see you again?"

She said,

"Let's just have fun while we can."
