T put in orders to get a one-year assignment to Korea, since they are getting rid of his shop at Creech AFB. He wants to be able to choose where he wants to get stationed at next. The only way he can do that is by going to Korea. It’s not guaranteed, but he said that his chances are good. Then once he’s finished with that assignment, he wants to get stationed at Japan.

There’s only one problem, though. I won’t be able to come along if he does. Reason being is because of what I am majoring in, which is Biology. I did my research on that base to see what colleges they had there and what degrees they have to offer. Biology isn’t one of them, unfortunately. Most of the classes are online, since it is overseas. The website did mention that they do offer some classes in traditional classroom settings, but since they don’t offer my major, I’m pretty much out of luck.

I know T really wants to go there because he heard that it’s a good assignment and he has always brought up Japan before. It was frustrating when I had to explain to him why I wouldn’t be able to go. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to go… But, biology has tons of lab work. How can I do that online, through the internet? Our technology isn’t that advanced. Maybe one day, but it’s not today. It frustrates me because I don’t want to think he’s really that dumb. He said he had to have proof. (Give me a break!) First of all, it’s just common sense that I have to go to a lab.

Even before, when I tried to explain to T about the prerequisite classes I have to take first, he couldn’t understand that and it led to an argument. It’s senseless. It really aggravates me to the point where I end up thinking if I really want to be with this man. Also, I don’t understand why he has to get mad and argue with me when it shouldn’t end in an argument. I just know that this is something I’m not giving up for him. And I’m not going to change my major for him, either, just so we can go to Japan. I’m planning on going further after I get my bachelors degree in Biology. In the direction I am going, I really want to major in Biology. So if he wants to be an asshole about it, I already told him he can go without me.

I just want to scream right now, but I wouldn’t want to scare anyone and have them think that I’ve gone crazy.
