Well, I'm feeling better than I was last night. But it is kind of a weird day. I got the October Newsletter from my OSO and in it I basically got my first order. Now, in my academic career, I have often had to do things. Mandatory events have become less common as I've grown older, but they still happen. It was pretty strange when I read the newsletter and read "November 16th- Marine Corps Birthday Celebration at my house. This event is mandatory for everyone". I don't know how to describe it. Weirdness...
