Foolishness

My brother has stopped taking classes. The military pays for the classes (as long as you get a grade of 'C' or above) but you have to foot the bill for the books. So his excuse is that he cannot afford the books. And I'm sure this is true. Money is tight and books are expensive.

But...fuck

Boy, I will give you the goddamned money for a couple of classes worth of books. What the hell is wrong with you??

I always had high hopes for Greg. He is by far the smartest of the three of us. But he had no real drive. He's shaped up considerably since joining the military. Not that you really have much of a choice.

We joke constantly that we messed up...that I should have been the one to go in the military and he should have gone to college. It stopped being so funny because it's looking more and more truthful as time wears on.

Still thinking about joining the military myself. Fleeting thoughts, but they are there none the less. It just seems the lesser of two evils.

Ah well. I have a few years left until I really have to decide. I'm hoping something else will crop up in the meantime.
