Grades came out yesterday. They weren't too bad, but it was apparent that this was by far the hardest semester I have had. It didn't help that my measurements prof decided to give me a "c" in his class. On the plus side, I now have completed 95 hours and will be eligible to get my Aggie ring. I will be in the second round of people to receive their rings in my class as my buddy got his this semester. So I will be getting boots and my ring in one semester; that's something to get excited about!

One more day!

Us Aggies are sitting here on the brink of the start of Christmas. The weather has been beautiful (75 and muggy) and most of us are happy but still stressed out as tomorrow is the last day of finals. Some of us will be moving on to bigger and better (possibly) things. For the rest of us, we will go home, play a little, sleep a lot, and return in January ready (not really) for another semester of school. I personally have one more exam after which I will be jubilantly returning to the piny woods. Here's to a month without circuits, fluid flows, sensors, and weird greek symbols!

Finals

Its been a while since I last posted, but not much as happened. We are now in the middle of finals (hence the long break from posting) and its gotten rather difficult to focus on school anymore. I just got back from my National Guard drill. We had a Christmas party for the entire unit and me and the other A&M cadets got to wear our A&M Corps uniforms to the party. One of the A&M cadets is a senior so we even had boots there. Its was pretty fun. I got to show off all the different parts of my uniform to several of the soldiers which was interesting as there is little correlation between the Corps and Army uniforms. Capt. Singleton (out CO) is doing what he can to make out drill experience as useful as possible by giving us different assignments and relating what we do back to the active duty experience. So far the National Guard has been good for me.
