Coming up over the next 2 weekends is our Spring Training Event, aka "The Pinnacle." This is what used to be called "Recognition," but a little less Hell for us 4 degrees (if you know any USAFA grads, ask them about recognition "back when it was hard"- you may get some interesting stories). But anyway, we don't get "recognized" anymore, we just ( Read more... )

well, today we've been getting a nice little blizzard. I'm not allowed to leave, and the people who were already gone aren't supposed to come back until tomorrow morning.

oh, well, so much for using my last pass this weekend. I guess I'm just gonna waste time in my room, as usual.

Wow! I just saw what was, I'm pretty sure, the most amazing guitar playing i've ever experienced. A guy named Trace Bundy just did a small concert for us here and I can't get over how good this guy was. I don't know if any of you have heard of him, but to give you an idea:

Well, Spring Break is just about over and I fly back to the Academy in about five or six hours. It was good to get away from everything, although I wish I could have seen more of you folks while I was here ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm home again... This time under much better circumstances. Ahead of me, I've got that week of complete and utter laziness that we affectionately call Spring Break. Too bad just about everyone else is already back at school. Ah, well, such is life.

Wow! you can tell it's almost Spring Break at the Academy when half the instructors throw away class time doing nothing related to the class. For example, this morning my calc instructor decided that we weren't going to actually learn anything that he might have tried to teach us today, so we spent most of the class watching MASH/working on stuff ( Read more... )

Well, I guess it's about time to try to get back in the saddle ( Read more... )
