On a dark, and lonely night...

Well, it's been a long week or so. Let's have a bit of a synopsis shall we...?

Classes have been going well. I'm still acclimating to the larger amount of work, and I'm doing better and keeping up with my homework (or so it seems.) My next project is to go and rewrite my notes from all my classes properly so I can pass my exams. I'm a tad disorganized right now. Once that's done though, I should have an effective system. Another good school tactic I learned was the discovery of Coffee on morning where I have 8:00 lectures. Other caffeine such as Mountain didn't seem to cut it, but Coffee kepy my mind clear and unfoggy this morning, rather than sleeping through half of class. It was nice, especially now that my Engineering class is actually building something.

Heading over to ROTC, everything is still going well. I'm getting better at the various protocol and drill, and I'm really enjoying my experience. Last Friday we had something called Warrior Spirit where the POC (Professional Office Course) put us through an intense inspection then sent us ona bit of PT and group building under slightly more stress than usual. It was a learning experience, and I guess I can say I enjoyed it. This Friday, I have what's called a Dine-In with the rest of the Detachment. I finally will get the rest of my uniform, and we'll go as a group to a hall near MSU to meet with their cadets and have a dinner-type-thing. I'm not too sure what that will entail.

That leads into my only complaint for the week. As some of you may know, this Saturday is the Michigan vs. MSU football game. It starts at 12:00, as does the tailgate with the rest of my ROTC group. It sounded like fun. Yes, sounded. I used the past tense, because I will not be attending. You see, my genius professor for Engineering 100 scheduled the Balloon Competition/Presentation on Saturday. At 12:00. His response when I asked him about it?

"You're engineering students."

[Insert Swear Word of Choice.]

Anyway, besides that, everything has been going pretty well. G'Night all!
