All is well in Colorado

My first full week of school has finished, and all is going pretty well. The schedule is broken up like high school block days, with M days and T days, no relation to Monday or Tuesday however. On M days, I have periods 1-4, to completely fill the time slot between breakfast and lunch, and T days I only go 2 and 4, and have some time between to work and study in the library. Meals are still good, and being allowed to sit at rest in the morning when Mighty Mach One at the table next to me is at attention makes it all the better.

We will have noon meal formation, marching, every Monday and Friday before lunch. Every Wednesday we have a parade, which is about 30 minutes of boring standing at attention. Our squad is pretty lenient about our ‘military bearing’ at events like that, but it’s still pretty lame being out there in formation.

Last Saturday morning we climbed to the top of Eagle’s Peak, the peak right behind the academy. It was a 2 hour adventure up, and about an hour down. It is over a 2000 foot ascent, and the view from the top is quite something. I’d like to do it for sunrise sometime, but we’ll see if that happens.

Other than that, not much has happened around here. I still have my phone, and as I am seeing, my squad is one of the most lenient around, which makes my life much easier. Deuce is a good squad, and I’m happy with everything here, for now at least.
