Last Semester!
(Academics, Class of 2012)

It is hard to believe I have already spent three and a half years here, and there are just five short months left until graduation. Coming from two and half weeks of leave, I definitely feel recharged to take on this last semester strong. Of course, I spent a lot time relaxing at home; but, I did definitely take advantage of the warm California sun. I got out on the boat a few days to dive for California spiny lobster, took a trip to Las Vegas, adventured to the mountains in my Jeep, and caught up with friends among other things.
This last semester will, without a doubt, keep me busy to say the least. I have recently assumed the responsibilities of the Golf Company Commander, representing a body of just fewer than 130 cadets and acting as a liaison between the officer command and the company itself. In less than two weeks, I will be interviewed for flight school by a board of four senior pilots. My excitement is only building knowing that where I will spend the next two years of my life will be determined in only two months!
To all the readers, I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays and happy New Year; and I wish the best of luck to all those returning to school for a new semester!
