Thursday night brought on this years very first comedy night. Courtesy of our SGA (Student Government Association) and 3/c Jordan Megee our social chair. We were able to enjoy three comedians to get us all away from the daily stresses at MMA. It was a truly hilarious night. One of the comedians was a former MMA graduate. He was able to pick at the small things that only cadets would understand. Comedy night happens a few times every semester. Everyone that came to the first one can't wait for another; especially the freshmen that got a nice break from the nightly study hours.
Friday morning was again started at 0400. Though it was slightly colder than most mornings, there was almost no wind down on Herring Pond. We had an amazing practice. There was a great balance to the boat with exceptional power in every stroke. I hope that the efforts by the crew team on Friday morning can carry over to our practices in the upcoming week and the next regatta.
At morning formation it was announced that 3rd Company was awarded Honor Company for the 2009-2010 school year.
Friday just got better and better as the regiment celebrated the first "Dress Down Day" of the semester. Dress Down Day allows cadets to purchase a ticket that permits them to wear civilian clothing for a day. Now every "Normal" college in America might think we are nuts for getting so excited about wearing normal clothes, but they'll never understand if we tried to explain it. With the long weekend ahead everyone is a little more relaxed walking around in civvies. For me wearing civvies reminds me of the hard work that myself and other cadets put in seven days a week. It reminds us that we dare to be different from all the other colleges. We take pride not only in ourselves but in our regiment that we are so grateful to be a part of.
Signing off until next week,
