Snow, Sunshine, Elimination, and the Talking Deer

Eight more days until spring break. I am very excited. I am leaving College Statio for Paradise next Thursday. No big plans yet. I may see if they need me to work or what not. I am also planning to get some x rays done on my knees. Something is going on, and they hurt like crazy. Today is Ash Wednesday. I went to the 7 AM mass this morning and got my ashes. This Lent I am giving up all drinks except for water. That includes juice, coffee, tea, etc. It'll be tough, but I can do it...I'm Mexican, member? You member....haha. Well I got to go home the weekend before last. It was good to see everybody. I suprised my family and stuff. I was supposed to come back to school on Sunday, but the weather got really bad, and it snowed a little bit, so I stayed an extra night. I came back Monday, and it was immediately back to the Corps life, and studying like crazy for midterms. I still have two left next week :( I got eliminated for the lead sophomore position. I kind of expected it though. It'll be okay, and now I can focus my attention on other things. I took another PT test, and my run improved a little bit. I am almost down to a 9 minute mile and a half. That pretty good for someone with short legs like me. Today, the weather was beautiful. It was around 80 degrees; perfect weather for shorts and flip flops. Luckily, I got to wear my uniform :.. Monday we had fish interviews. What happened is that we got into uniform, and went down to a lounge for "an academic meeting." Yea right. They called two fish at a time to go back into the dorms and have their interview. This interview consisted of you and your buddy going down a dark hallway while the sophomores yell at you. You do pushups and bear crawls, (in uniform), until you get to room 309. You go in, and its a room covered in trash bags with two chairs, a plastic deer mount, and a computer screen playing very disturbing images, Well we sit in the chairs as the sophomores yell at you, and spray water on you, and as one of them dances around you, practically giving you a lap dance, in his white briefs. Well while all this is going on the deer mount asks you off the wall questions that you have to answer. It was very crazy, and scary at first, but after it was over we were all laughing. Yea it could be considered hazing, but I can't wait to do it next year. I got a 93 on my sociology mid term WHOOOP! Off topic, but oh well. We're playing a huge prank on our commander so I'll write later on how that goes. Until next time, Gig 'Em!!
