(n.) joyful, intense anticipation that comes from imagining future plans.
Six months have passed; comrades come and go. With stolen time we make do with what we have, be it revelling down the waterhole or forging tighter bonds with the family. In this six months I've anticipated many things: when will the target go up, when is the next night's out, who are the (un)lucky ones going pro-term infantry, when will a pontianak appear on top of my locker, etc. Most have been a disappointment; dull ache only soothed by distilled spirits. So I can't wait to get out of here, and map out the path to my future. That is, the most intense anticipation.
