Updates!

Well, that's the end of school for spring break. My mind literally shut down today... I feel drained. So glad for the break. Even if it's only two months into the semester... it's still GREAT.

So, found out I'm leaving for the DC base visit Wednesday early morning. So... I'll be heading down here Tuesday night. Yippeee.... but it still should be fun, I suppose. The rest of the week will be AWESOME. Arlington, Pentagon, Washington Mall, the AF base... it's gonna be COOL. And maybe classified. I dunno. Keep quiet. :p

Also! Finally found out the time/date for my summer AF trip! For two weeks, I will be spending time shadowing NCOs at... Nellis Air Force base, not too far from Las Vegas!

I'M GOING TO VEGAS BABY!

Hopefully we'll at least get to see the nightlife down there once. I'd like to see everything all lit up... but what's going to be MORE awesome is the aircraft that fly out of Nellis:
Fighters (F-16, F-22)
Drones (Predator)
Helicopters (Pave Hawk)

Also, apparently one of the AF jet show teams, the Thunderhawks is based out of there. Sooo..... cool.

Anywho, that'll be going down July 14-28. So... hopefully it'll still fit with my schedule. (Math class, job....)

So, I'll be back home tomorrow! I'll get to see the puppy! Hooray!

Now, I'm going to go now before I get TOO excited. After all, I have a physics exam after break ends...

Here we go again....

Well, I am officially giving up on my phone sending posts to this blog. Two failed ones in a row. Curses, foiled again. :p

Anywho, the contents of that message expanded into a full blow blog post are as follows:

I need a new phone. My current one has this problem, where it decides to turn itself off on a whim, anywhere, anytime, with no provocation. This is ESPECIALLY bad when I'm studying for my programming exam and miss color guard and math group because my phone is off, sitting right next to me while people call it to ask where I am. Yeah, my day went from average to terrible at about 1030 last night when I checked my phone and realized I'd missed my commitments... <_<

Add that to the fact my programming exam is today, not tomorrow, I can safely say that my internal clock is out of whack, and I am officially stressing out. Thank god spring break is in two days. That's all I have to say. I need all the time I can get for my physics after break ends.

ROTC is still going well, however. Got a 100% on my Physical Fitness test, improving my run time by 20 seconds over last semester! Add that to a very positive midterm review from my flight commander, and the continuing arrival of checks every few weeks from ROTC... and I'm a happy Cadet. :D

In other news, I decided to buy an Ipod Touch. I brought my old MP3 up here to start using, and I proceeded to plug it in... but it wouldn't charge. I think it died somehow. So, I'm going to splurge for an MP3 player that's NOT 5-6 years old, can hold more than a quarter of my music, and gets Wifi so I can check my e-mail without a laptop. :p I figure I've got enough splurge money allotted from my ROTC book stipend and the few checks from each semester that I say are just for entirely disposable income...

So, that's my week. Base Visit and Spring Break next week. All I can say is...

Finally.

Now, you may be curious...

...as to why I have several lines of gibberish below this entry, Well, apparently my nifty phone posting system decided to go a bit wonky yesterday. Bit weird...

Anywho, what that was SUPPOSED to be saying was that I was in the gym, commenting that I had gone to PT that morning, went running in the afternoon, and then went swimming for about an hour. So, yeah. I exercised a lot, and it felt pretty good. :D

Had a decently busy night alst night... we went up to North Campus to watch a musical/play/thingie being put on at 7 called "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog." It's basically a thing from youtube that was written during the writer's strike by Joss Whedon. It has Neil Patrick Harris in it... and is about an aspiring supervillain who has his own fair share of problems. Check it out, if you're into us young people's style of humorousness.

Anyway, they were sold out, so we're going today instead. At about 10 though, we went down to the Michigan Union for Umix (a Friday night thing every week for those who don't go partying) where we watched some standup comedy, including some done by the guy across the hall from me. Definitely worth the trip.

After that, we got back here.... me and Mike attempted to play some video games, but both fell asleep by 130. (Which, in college on a Friday night, is EARLY.)

And... that's the news so far! Not much else has been interesting happening... nothing in the news really... though I'm sure you've all heard by now President Obama is doing the commencements here this spring. And... what else.

Not much to talk about. So! THat's all for now. Check ya later.
