Christmas Break is Coming!
(The Cadet Experience, Class of 2015)

So Thanksgiving Break has just come to a close. It was a short but nice respite from the Academy. It was a great chance to go home and see those friends. It is amazing how little things have changed in my hometown relative to how much my life has changed since R-Day. No matter how early I have to get up when I am at school, I still love sleeping in till noon; that will never change.
Now that I am back at the Academy, there are 16 days till I come home again for Christmas. But there is a lot of work to do before then. Classes are finishing up for the semester and then there is finals week. Even though finals week sounds daunting, I have heard from the upper class that it is the best week. I was told we get more liberty as well as other privileges like getting to listen to music aloud in our rooms.
It is hard to believe that the first semester is coming to an end. I am sure for all prospective cadets that you are amazed you are almost done with high school. Senioritis will kick in soon if it hasn’t already. Just remember to keep doing well if you are serious about the Academy. If you have already been accepted, congratulations. If not, keep pushing, many are accepted under regular admissions too. Good luck and have a great holiday.
