By reading my title, you’re probably thinking I’m going to complain. You would be right.  However, I’m not going to complain about people.

Since, I’ve been here I’ve realized two more things:  I hate sand and I hate rocks.

When I was in Kuwait, I thought…sand is everywhere!! I don’t know if I can deal with this, but I figured I would have to.

Now that I’m actually in Baghdad, there’s not much sand here but there are a ton of rocks. While walking to my CHU, while walking to the bathrooms, while walking to the dinner facility, and while walking to visit my battle buddies, all I see are rocks. I trip over them. They get caught in my boots. I’m already tired of them, but I have to learn to deal with them. I have months to go and I know these annoying little rocks are not going anywhere.

Well, now I’m done complaining. Until next time…stay positive.

DISCLAIMER: Although all of my blogs have been complaints. I promise I will blog about something positive soon.

(MODERATOR’S NOTE:  Though her blogs have been complaints, SGT Anderson is actually quite friendly in person.)
