It's been too long my fellow bloggers! Over a month I believe! Honestly I've hardly had time to do much of anything besides school and work since the Fall semester started. I'm actually a lot busier than I expected to be. Good thing I took three classes over the summer to lighten my load this semester! I can't even imagine where I'd be right now if I hadn't done that. Probably ready to blow up. My brain already feels like a pile of noodles right now haha.
So school started back up on the 15th of August. I jumped right into ROTC starting as the Platoon Leader and then to make things worse my Platoon Sergeant was MIA most of the time so I pretty much had to do the tasks for that position as well. This is all on top of getting our fresh new recruits organized, helping my squad leaders figure out the tasks they needed to do, working part-time in the school's IT department, tutoring two students in Calculus, and oh yeah…finding time to get my OWN classwork not to mention tend to my husband as a good wife should! Talk about a mess. I seriously need to start USING this planner I had bought before the semester started.
So besides being extremely busy, life has been good. We have 5 MS-III's for the year. One ADO and the other three besides me are fellow cadets who were in the program with me last year. I'd say we have a pretty good team. We work really hard together. I'm learning more and more as each day goes by. Way more than last year…not to say I didn't have an awesome instructor last year, but our new instructor is a lot stricter but in a good way of course. Were currently covering Combat Orders.
I have a great story to tell all of you but I will save it for this weekend if I have time to blog again. I truly do miss putting my thoughts down in words.
Our first FTX is coming up really soon and I've already gotten word that I will be the Company Commander during the first iteration. Talk about working up my nerves. I always get nervous when I have to be in a high position. Hopefully I do well though.
Classes are doing good. Data Structures is kicking my butt. I really don't enjoy the was my professor lectures. He goes too quickly sometimes to comprehend. And even when I try and talk to him after class, he rushes me through my questions and tells me he's sorry he can't explain it any better. He is definitely no Dr. Turner. I wish he was teaching Data Structures. :(
My U.S. military history class is amazing. It's a tough class but I'm loving the challenge and really enjoying all the events we are covering. The only thing I dislike…is the amount of reading we have to do. It's not that I don't enjoy what I'm reading…it's just hard to juggle with everything else I'm doing. I'll definitely be keeping my books after the semester is done to keep on hand for some pleasure reading. I know I won't have time during the semester to get a full grip on the content but just enough to get me as close to an A as possible in the class.
My human computer interaction class is too easy…sometimes I even forget it's an actual class I'm taking lol.
Ok well you are half way updated with where I am at this point. I hope to get a recipe or two up within the next month. I definitely have tons of stuff I want to share with you all. I just pray I have the time and energy to share it!
School on my fellow bloggers! ;-)
