This weekend has been pretty relaxing. It is the first weekend I have had with little howework. But I still found a way to keep busy by working on Saturday and Sunday at the campus snack bar. I wasn't able to do SCUBA, but I am planning to do that over the summer some time either when I am at home or when I get to Florida for AMDO school. So far it looks like I will be there between 24MAY to 22JUL. After I will head out to a squadron and be there for 3 years. I can't wait I think it will be great to do this. Well once not much has gone on that is all there is to write for now. Till later...

| Another good day |

Today was just a good as yesterday which is cool. The only down side is watch at midnight, but I can get over that. Today started out with working on the contunuation of getting my computer back running. I finally have everything on it I want and so it is back in action. I love having it back now. Then classes were pretty easy and didn't have that feeling of taking as long as normal. The stock that I own the most of went up quite a bit to the point that I made around $60 for the day. Right now I am just hoping that it doesn't drop like a rock later. But the best news of all today was while I was running on the treadmill in the Field House the admin person approached me and informed me that the detailer for AMDO wanted to talk to me. So tomorrow I am going into the ROTC house to find out what he has to say. But this is at least a step in the right direction to having something to go to coming out of school. But I will find out more tomorrow. But that is it for now, tomorrow I have a full day. I need to mill a piece of steel for Materials lab, go to the ROTC house for the call, head to Southwest Harbor to get SCUBA gear hopefully to get certified this weekend, then the PRT which shouldn't be to bad. Then nothing planned after that so it should be a pretty relaxing evening. So until tomorrow when I find out how everything turns out...

| Up and Running |

Well after a long time of not having my desktop running I finally got it back up. Took a little time to figure out what was wrong at first but it is back to the way it was when I first got it, minus some games. But no big deal there. Today has been really good. I am with in standards for the Navy when it comes to weight stuff, and I found out I have 2 weeks to finish a paper I thought was due next week. Today we had ROTC lab where we took the vessesl out and made runs moving people between ships, it was a lot of fun to see happening. Then now there is nothing to do but relax. Tomrrow I have watch from 00-04 and then I plan to sleep till I need to take a run to Southwest Harbor and pick up SCUBA gear so I can hopefully get a spot so I can certify. Then I have to make it back to the school by 1600 so I can run a PRT. I know I am ready and can pass it so I can get my commissioning. But that is it for now and I am getting ready to hit the sack. Till laters.

Well today not much went on. Started out with it snowing which we got around 4". While still snowing I went to class which I found out I got a 85 and 86 on the tests which wasn't to bad. My partner on the test and I have already agreed to work on the final together when it comes time. After I went to the ROTC wardroom and just relaxed. It is fun to just hang out and chat down there, lets you get a lot off your mind most of the times. Also once the internet was down in the dorms most of the weekend it gave a time to check e-mail and take care of some work that needed to be completed. The next class went fine and was fun, just as it normally is. Then came time for lunch and another class. Finally I exersized and on my way up from swimming I saw the network administrator leaving which I was hoping was a good sign. When I got back to the room we had gotten internet back again, a good thing. I did learn how to use Microsoft Outlook today also. It can definatly be a very handy tool when you use it. And then in the end of everything, or right now, I am waiting for my hard drives to be finished over writting so that I can get the computer I built back up and running. Well from the time though it won't be until tomorrow that I actually will get it up and running though. Well nothing really more to say. Tomorrow I am going to be going out on the ships for the FTX that is going to be conducted soon so till later.

| Finally a Break |
| 04.03.04 (8:02 pm) [edit] |

Yeah so this week has just been one of those weeks you wish could be erased from memory. Any task I tried to complete didn't get done for the most part. I am still in the middle of writing a paper that I need to have done by monday, or at least the draft. And yet more problems arised through out the week in different areas. But today things went reasonably well. I was able to work on the paper and have a good run on it so I can finish it tomorrow, of course that is during the race. Also today to get ready for the awards banquet I was able to fit into a pair of pants with no problems unlike recently before which means I am good to go for the PRT coming up on Thursday. But back to the awards banquet. Although Sara couldn't go the people at the table were very interesting. One of the people was the person who would be presenting me and a friend an award. I was amazed to hear this once it would have been my first award since I joined the ROTC group. But talking the guy he was a P-3 reserve pilot and was working in the finance business currently. But the award I got was the Military Officers Association of America, with this award came a nice plaque, a pen & pencil cross set, and metal w/ ribbon. It was great. Then now I am able to relax and just kick back before bed. Well because I do have a little cold, which has been the only damper of the day, I am off to bed. Until later......

| Long Day (Round 2) |

Well a day later and things are still in a pile. At least the pile is dwindling though. Day started off pretty good. Got to class on time, class got out early, started to defy the laws of physics, the normal college student system. Then came lunch and because I didn't have breakfast I was hungry so I went and ate before Sara, my gf, got back from class. Bad move on my part. But things got back on track, almost finished one of my papers that are coming due and then I had to go to a meeting. Well unannounced to me the meeting time was moved to 2 hours earlier. Well after that was sorted out I went and worked a little more on hw, and played a game for a little before heading to lab. Lab was fun and it was a good time learning about some of the other vessles at the school. I then had to make it to a test review and in the whole time skip dinner to get everything done, but looking forward to late night breakfast. Well got a lot of work done this evening amongs another fight with my gf. But we are back on terms again and everything is going really well. Breakfast was canclled so I am still hungry so maybe tomorrow breakfast won't be closed (better chance of it) and I can get something to eat then. Well that is it for now and I am off to be. So until next time. Oh yeah, leave a comment, it's a good thing!!

Today was just one of those days. So much stuff to do and way to little time to get it donem expecally when items fall out of the sky you don't expect. But things are kinda back in a groove but of course it is right before bed. Tomorrow looks like it is going to be long also, but there is atleast a few hours where I can work on some things I need to get done. But the evening is going to be packed with studying and writting papers. Well nothing else to write now so till next time.

| Bristol Race Day |
| 03.28.04 (6:22 am) [edit] |
|
Today is the best track in the Nextel Nascar Series. Bristol is loads of fun, unfortunatly unlike my mom I can not attend it. Since Friday it has been a kinda roller coaster effect. Started with a bad night Friday when my gf and I got into a little fight. It was cleared up on Saturday though which was good. Then I was working on a couple papers that are due in a couple weeks, no not an over acheiver just can't write all that well. In the process of doing so one of the sites I needed for information was down so I couldn't finish a part of the paper which discuraged me from writing the rest of it. And for the secoind paper I need refrences and I couldn't get them printed off because the lack of paper I have right now. But I will take care of that Monday. I was able to go to the pool for a bit, but again another hump in the track. While there I couldn't swim complete laps as I had wanted because the over crowdedness of it and there were kids all over the place when you were trying to swim. But in the end I got a few good laps done. After I went to dinner and then came back and worked on my second paper as best I could an got a page done single spaced. Then I watched "The Rock" (my favorite movie) with my gf and we played a game before cuddling till the end of the movie. Now I am up and waiting to go to breakfast because it is omlette bar today which is the best thing here at the school. After I am going to work on the papers again and watch the race. I am also suppose to meet with one of my peers in ROTC and work on a report for some information we were to find on a Field Training Exersise that is going to be conducted later this semester. Well till the next time have a good day.

| Another Friday Here at MMA |
| 03.26.04 (5:49 pm) [edit] |
|
Yep, well once it is another boring Friday here at MMA I though I would try something new. My gf sent this to me so yeah. Well today was good. Weather was gray but a comfortable temperature. I got a new set of inline skates today and tried them out. I think I finally got the hang of skating again, which for this being only the second time ever skating I was amazed. I didn't hit the ground once. Tonight nothing going on. Doing a little prep work for a couple papers I am going to write tomorrow and maybe a movie to fall asleep to. Maybe even play a little more of Ports of Call. Got to love a game where you can drive your own ships in and out of ports. Other then that, until the next time I decide to write, or am board out of my mind.
