Happy Holidays

Good evening,

The semester will officially end tomorrow for me with my Rules of the Road final. Looking back on this semester, it truly has been the best one yet. I have had more opportunities and amazing experiences than I ever thought possible.

This winter I will be traveling on the T.S Kennedy for Sea Term. If this year is anything like last year it will be the time of my life. Next semester will hold more challenging classes, my first leadership position, and a Chinese roommate.

I hope that everyone has a great holiday. Good luck to all on your future endeavors. I hope to return to blogging soon.

Until next time,

Winter Ball

Good evening,

The Winter Ball was a great success. All of those who went surely had a great time. The trip aboard the Spirit of Boston gave us all a chance to relax. It's not often that we get the chance to hang out with our friends in such a manner. As we ate dinner we shared stories of sea term and of the other great times we've had in the last year and a half. After dinner the crowd went wild as everyone began to dance. I'm looking forward to next year as I'm sure it will be even more fun that this year.

This week marks the last full week of classes. Next week on Wednesday will be the beginning of finals. Tomorrow is actually my last day of the week as my Coastal Navigation Lab finished last week with our final. I can't wait to have the whole day off to relax. With the end of the semester approaching everyone is starting to move things home one thing at a time. I brought home all of my extra uniforms last week. There is still a lot of stuff to move out though. Of course some it will be returning with me when I report for sea term January 3rd.

Upcoming events:
-Comedy Night
-Friday
-Finals

Until next time,

Winter Ball

Good Morning,

I have survived yet another week. All I have left is my Coastal Navigation Two Lab final. This final shouldn't be too difficult as it will be very similar to the midterm. Though we are required to pass four different assessments on the final in order to pass the class. These assessments will prove that we understand the material and are able to apply it.

Tonight will mark the second annual winter ball aboard the Spirit of Boston. This is going to be an exciting event. The winter ball was organized this year by our social chair 3/c Jordan Megee. She has put a lot of time and effort into making this a great event. I am quite sure that it will just as amazing as she has been advertising. The winter ball allows cadets to enjoy a night out on the boat. The attire is not too formal. Many cadets will be wearing the dress blue uniform, except for the ladies of course. I'm looking forward to a great night ahead. I will be adding in pictures from the winter ball into next weeks blog.

Until next time,
