Another random event that I will be adding to my list of life experiences: a debutante ball.

Completely not my scene, but hey, free weekend in California!  It's that point in my life where I should be doing random shit like this.

Got my permit in the mail for the Spring Break Paria Canyon trip....  This trip is shaping up to be such an epic adventure.  Quicksand!  Flash Floods!  Rental Car Discount Fraud!  Federal Aviation Carry-On violations!  We're going to come back tired as dogs.  Fortunately, we get back on a Saturday morning, so we'll have some time to readjust and do ( Read more... )

Did they have to wipe the C drive, or is it just for their own amusement?

Well, it's Saturday night, and I'm stuck inside.  This actually feels like the best use of a Saturday in a while, actually.  I passed my EPME exam, got a few rounds of sparring in, read "Ender's Game" for the second time, lost to Mohkne in chess, did some lifting with Nate (plus some racquetball, at which he is much better than me), and enjoyed ( Read more... )

Haven't updated in a while.  I'm back to school... my classes are Macroeconomics, Semiconductor Physics, American Government, Digital Signal Processing, and Computer Control Systems.

MAP week is pretty gay.

Boxed two hours today.  We drilled non-stop for the better part of an hour, and I did my two rounds of sparring and got promptly F'd up... probably because my jab got lazy and my hands got lazy and I got slow.  I need to fit my mouthguard because its cutting my mouth up as is.  I think I might be fighting at the premier of Friday Night Fights...

Damn!  The current spring break plans fell through because everyone in the group couldn't decide on one set plan.  I think a lot of them are going to Acapulco now.  I don't think I want to go to Mexico though...  I'm sticking with Hennighausen (who's done the Europe thing before and will do it again), and we'll figure out something good ( Read more... )

I finally got around to doing some sparring last night.  I sparred 3 rounds with the rookies first, because I'm not in great shape and haven't sparred at all this year.  Sparring can be described as awful: you're just out and out tired, but you need to keep throwing punches, ducking, and moving or you're going to get the stuffing beat out of you.  ( Read more... )

There's something about this place that is just soul-crushingly awful sometimes... I felt it last night.  It's knowing that you're always gonna be awake at 6, that you'll never have enough free time to go road tripping, that you really don't have enough time to relax and read a book, that you need to keep your conduct/physique/grades to a certain ( Read more... )

If anyone would like to see the wonderful room in which I spend 80% of my days as a cadet, it will be open to vistors:
Friday 1400-1600 and Saturday 1100-1245

on account of Parents Weekend.
