U.P 500, Battle of the U.P. and other stories

So yeah I guess a lot has happened since I last updated on here.

School has been ok so far. I mean my classes are for the most part pretty boring. I guess you get out what you put in so I should probably start doing more of the readings and such. I went to the hockey games on Friday and Saturday nights. They were good games, we won both of them but at points during the game it looked like it was going to be too close for comfort. but it's all good because we clinched home ice for the ECAC playoffs!! HOOAH!

We finally held the U.P. 500 this year. We actually had to have the Juniors and Sophmores do it this time. Last year, the then Sophmores who are now Juniors, didn't have enough snow to make it happen so we had to put it off until this year. So when we got the 2 1/2 feet of snow or whatever it was, we had both classes run it one at a time. I even took a video of it which apparantly certain people in the chain of command don't like. I don't know why he's being such a douchebag but he is, but he's just going to have to deal with it because I'm not changing it. So be sure to check out the link...

Also another huge, one-of-a-kind even took place here on campus. With the amount of snow we got people, mostly just the Cadets, decided it would be fun to build forts all around the U.P. Well after awhile a huge snowball fight was planned out and executed like clockwork. Again I was on hand to videotape the events. Another video receiving rave reviews from everyone except the chain of command. But yet again, I don't give a fuck about what they think. So here is the link to what has become known as "The Battle of the U.P." Also be sure to check out the pictures up on my facebook courtesy of Bombard.

So moving on from Norwich stuff...Brigs camp was postponed due to the fact that they were getting even more snow. So rather than only have half the Corps show up they decided to put it off until March 3-4. Which I guess it fine because I don't have drill that weekend or anything. I was kinda looking forward to going. I needed a little break from this place but oh well. I guess it'll have to wait until March.


I'm going to be trying to put this new daily schedule into place to see if it'll work with getting more schoolwork during the day and actually getting healthy meals in there somewhere. So hopefully this works out.
