Well, I just finished my first week back after Spring Break, and it was definitely a lot easier coming back than when I was a Recruit. Plenty of time to sleep, the whole weekend off, and ability to come and go as I pleased in the barracks. All in all, my life has gone from horrible to great in a VERY short time.
Last week was uneventful, but things are going to start picking up soon. This upcoming weekend is the Navy FEX, and we'll be traveling down to Mass Maritime for a few days. The Ranger Candidates have Cat-Eye weekend to become full-fledged Norwich Rangers, and MCW has their blackhate testing soon as well. On top of all of this, Provisional Battalion Qualifications (formerly known as "Candidacies") have to conclude by Junior Ring, which is less than a month away.
In addition, I'm applying for a Navy scholarship, and should be finding out whether I've been selected sometime soon. Would definately be nice to have the rest of my college paid for and never have to do work study again, but my main reason is for the commission at the end. But we'll see how that unfolds as the year goes.
Classes are going well, even if Calculus II is a struggle at times. GPA will probably be around the same as it was last semester, which is just fine by me (about a 3.5 average is safely into good standing territory for pretty much everything at Norwich).
Thats all I have for now, but I'll keep this updated with how the next month or so plays out.
