Hey its me, again, because this is my blog, and you're reading it, for reasons unknown to me, must be pretty bored, or love me. Anyways, FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK! God i can't wait to get home. I only have two finals: Historical Sciences, Military Sciences. Military Sciences won't be too bad, however, Historical Sciences will require selling my soul to the devil himself in order to make an A on. School, studying, sleeping, eating. My life. Sad really. To think that a highlight of my...read more

Man there are just two weeks of school left. Next week is dead week aka the week before finals. I still have to go to class though. I'd much rather be aat home studying, like that would ever happen. I'll go to all my classes and do all my work, study like a good boy. When I'm done with that last class, its back to collinsville, and my birthday, i may have a party with some friends too. I plan on relaxing every single day and definately have some fun in the snow (if there is...read more

Sorry its been so long... I've been busy and honestly this blog isn't very high on my list of priorities. School is going ok, but i really need a break. Which is why I am very happy about the next week I'll have off. Coming back for those two weeks won't be too bad, but xmas break is going to be on my mind every minute. I turn 19 over the break. Pretty cool i guess. Not much of a change really. Starting to realize how much independency can really help you out here on your own....read more

Hey! So I'm a couple days past my weekly blog deadline. I hope Major Hasper doesn't check lol. Its been a very busy week. I got back from home Monday morning at around 1am and missed PT.

I have over 150 movies under my bed at this very moment. I also have some at home and my dad's house lol movies for everyone!! Homework...read more

Long weekend

It was my mom's birthday, so I visited home this weekend. Its nice having a break from all this studying, sleeping, eating and PT. I got to sleep in for the first time in awhile. It felt great. I really wish I could get used to getting up early, but I don't see it happening very soon. I attended our university President Boren's speech today as part of my Gateway class. I also attended the back of my eyelids as I fell asleep about twenty minutes into it. I need to start getting...read more

My beautiful Monday

Sunday the internet wasnt working which i needed to have in order to do my paper. It just so happens that internet has a great sense of humor. It started working at 2330. I ended up staying up ALL NIGHT doing that paper. Zero sleep. It got better though. I had PT at 0545, and my SL had called me and told me to fill in for him. Nothing an energy drink can't cure right? I also had class at 0830. I made it through that without too much trouble (I love AMP: Overdrive energy drinks!)...read more

My day off

Tuesdays, One of my easiest days of the week. Two classes and out by 1330. Decided today that i wanted to work out a little extra, just a few of the muscles I hadn't REALLY focused on in awhile. Ended up doing a full workout (arms, back, legs, chest, abs). I used to work out like that almost everyday, now with the studying i have to do and the exhaustion piled on top from PT and getting up at 0500, its hard to find time to get to the gym for some extra training. I feel...read more

Easy day

Today wasn't bad. I was able to sleep in till 1000 for the first time in weeks! I miss that lazy feeling. Since I passed my PT test in August I don't have to go to remedial PT on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which is really convenient since my first class on both days isn't until 1030. Had a quiz in Military Science today. I think I did ok on it, but I'm capable of better. Signed up to help out in the Ranger Challenge on Saturday. Most people seem reluctant...read more

This is my first blog and I'm not sure what to put lol right now i am an MS1 in OU ROTC. We had PT this morning from 0545-0710. We had to run up a parking garage and stop at every floor and do some sort of exercise (push ups, lunges, etc.). It wasn't too bad and i did pretty well on it. Then we went into the armory and completed some pull ups. Overall a good morning. Good start to the day, but i always end up getting tired around noon. I have been taking power...read more
