A much delayed update

It's been a while since I've kept up this blog as I should. Apparently my goal of weekly posts has been quite a failure. Sorry!

So here's the update on Paul:

First off I should comment on the subject of my last couple posts, which is the discussion of my girl troubles. The situation has drastically improved, as we're now talking fairly regularly. I'm not entirely sure she trusts me not to make a move and thus isn't being entirely as close as I'd like, and well, I've moved on from the relationship but that isn't to say by any means I'm over her. So, I'm making the choice everybody recommends against, and continuing to hang out with her when possible. In general that sort of... extends the moving on process but let's just say I'm not the type to want to color in the lines and lose a good friend because of a relationship. I'm weird. We've established this. :P So beyond her I'm trying to reconnect with friends who I've liked in the past and looking around for Campus groups to join where I could meet some new girls and find some options. It's a process, but y'all can rest assured I'm much better today than I was the entire month of September.

Second! School stuff. First month was notably rough for an entirely good reason, I assure you.

I was out of pencils.

No really. :P My motivation was low for class and thus I'm behind in most everything. Doesn't mean I'm doing badly in my classes though. Got my Philosophy paper back and it was a 96%, and the Professor was very complimentary of style and substance, with the only downsides being a few more requests for detail in some cases.

My EECS 203 Discrete Math class is going distinctly average. 47/85 on the first exam, but the average was a 49. So it could use some work but that class should be fine.

Programming is waiting on my second Project Grade. I haven't been following the lectures because he's talking to a group beyond my programming level, but lecture slides and the internet help resolve that. I have another massive project to start soon, but I think I'm doing well.

Then there's Calc 4. I dunno my grade yet but I'm pretty sure I failed my first exam. I know what I'm studying for Fall Break! :P

ROTC continues to go well. There's always room for Improvement but I would rate myself very well individually among the current batch of cadets. And I think our current batch of cadets is quite good.

The ROTC Alpena trip went quite well. Surprisingly the MOUT training with Airsoft guns was the low point of the trip due to poor training by the Marines in charge of teaching us. As a whole though, fun and informative.

And now I will try and attach those room pictures you've been waiting on... let's test shall we?
