Another Day at the Maritime

I mentioned earlier this week about the guest speaker at out leadership meeting on Monday. It turned out to be a lecture on mental resiliency for student leaders. The lecture was presented by Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas. She spoke to us about how to deal with certain stresses. The main focus was about how to deal with the multiple stresses and demands of life. As soon to be student leaders we needed to learn about how to recognize different stresses in others as well as ourselves. The lecture proved to be very beneficial in leadership training as well as our own personal lives.

The rest of this week so far has gone well. Crew yet again has been practicing bright and early. Though I have to say the conditions on Herring Pond have been far less than favorable. Actually the fog has been so dense that it has restricted the visibility to less than 150 meters. Meaning we cannot see the other side of the pond. Today marked our last on water practice for the season. As tomorrow we board the bus to travel to Saratoga Springs, NY for the Head of the Fish. It should be a fun filled weekend of great friends, great times, and of course great rowing.

Today while eating breakfast I noticed a large group of the Academy's Officers walk onto the mess deck. Before I knew it I was shaking hands with Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray. He took the time to ask all of us at the table where we were from, and make small talk. It's was truly a nice experience to meet the Lieutenant Governor during breakfast. Some would say that it was just a typical maritime day. I would have to agree.
