Off to Field Training

Quite literally, in maybe 20 minutes. I have some free time waiting for Michelle to clear out of the bathroom so I can shave... so I figured I could finally knock this posst out. I apologize my end o' school year blog has been delayed so long! Don't really have an excuse other an absolutely gratuitous amount of sleep and laziness because of summer.

So quick summary of the end of the school year: Did good in the class I care about (Programming, which I retook), did meh in most of the others, did godawful in Physics. Now I need to retake THAT next semester... and I don't even have an excuse like 'time management' like I had for programming as for why I failed Physics. I just physically (heh. Physically. Physics.) could not grasp the material that was on each exam and had a gross overestimation of my own understanding everytime I walked in to take one of the tests. I'll just have to try some new things next semester and hopefully the second time through is the charm.

And next semester certainly will be a challenge. 17 tough credits, starting being a Resident Advisor (RA), and having a prominent role in ROTC as Drill and Ceremonies Officer for the incoming class of cadets (ie: teach them drill). I plan to lock down and try and improve my grades, because frankly, they need it. I weep for my free time.

Speaking of free time: my summer is pretty much already over. I have Field Training now, 2 weeks when I get back, then I start summer classes in July in Ann Arbor till school starts.

Well, that's all I have time for. Gotta go. I'll post when I get back. Write me letters!
