Hello,
Wow, I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Right now I just started my last project for engineering and I am getting ready to finish my English final which is a research paper. This weekend the school held the annual NU-101 open house for next year's incoming freshmen. The had different activities and we had over 200 future students staying in the dorms over the weekend to get a bit of the experience of being a resident in either the civilian or corps lifestyle. I helped on Saturday morning to recruit more bloggers for next year. I am planning to be a blogger again next year, so you can read about my experience as a sophomore in the Corps of Cadets.
Having full privileges is nice. Unlike before we now can go into town whenever, and we can also wear civilian clothes after 1700, which makes the evenings a little more relaxed, and one of my favorites, listen to music. The weekends we also have to ourselves. Most weekends there aren't corps obligations, but if there are we have to participate, but other than that we can hang out, go out to town, go out with friends to Burlington, whatever. This past weekend was the Marine Corps, Navy, and Sophomore/Junior Army FTX's. An FTX is a field training exercise. The Army Freshmen/Senior and Air Force FTX. I don't know much about what the other branches did, but Air Force is going to do paintball, so I'll let you know how that goes.
Last week and this week Norwich is trying online class registration. This means that instead of the massive lines and paperwork, we use our online accounts to add classes for next semester. For the most part the new system is working, but as with anything new, there are a few glitches, like none of next years sophomores can register for Air Force classes and some other classes are giving fits, but we are all learning to be patient with technology and the registrar's office is working to fix it.
Well I have to go to lunch and couple of classes.
Thanks for reading,
Seth
