Are We Done Yet?

(Academics, Class of 2012) Permanent link All Posts

As the academic year begins to wind down (there are only five or six weeks of classes left), the course load has wound up considerably. I can safely say that these past two weeks, starting after my return from spring break, have been the toughest weeks at the Academy so far. I think my Dynamics class is mostly to blame. Each homework assignment takes 2 or 3 hours, more than the entire allotted study hour each night.

Amidst all of this homework there are some good signs however, including the release of the finals schedule, more and more information about summer assignments, and the sailing season starting.

Whenever the finals schedule comes out, that means the semester’s end is nearing, and it is great news. I am getting increasingly antsy each day for the school year to end and for the summer to begin. As I approach the midway point of my cadet career, the pressures of school are definitely mounting.
