Another week of fun

So this week started off pretty standard, woke up to more Corps BS and class. One perk though, my course load went from 19 credits down to 12 credits. Some may wonder why this happened;well first, I must thank the Governor of Virginia for declaring a state of emergency. This caused me to miss 6 days of classes, and for me missing chem. was crippling since its not my strongest area. When I returned to Tech and began meeting with professors to explain my situation and collect make up assignments, my Chem teacher explained that I would receive a 0 for the test and quiz that I missed. This caused my Chem grade to drop to a 21% which I knew was impossible to recover. After a long debate with myself and counsel from my older brother, I decided a change of major would be my best move. I did this not only because of my Chem situation but also because I was struggling with the courses required for a Environmental science.

I decided on a Sociology major with a focus on crime & deviance, fields that have always interested me. Im excited to start my new major and begin the studies of people. Another exciting even, I was called up again on tuesday so I missed another three days of class. This wasn't for a SOE but because I was asked to help train a unit preparing for Afghanistan. I instructed a class on Close Quarters Combat with the M-4 which is always a fun area. I also received my certification with the militaries new M320 Grenade Launcher. This system is amazing, it moves from the standard M203, manual aim tube to an all digital system. Its amazing how technology is being used to create elite weapons for our soldiers to use on the battlefield making them more effective and eliminating threats.

Ahhh I hate Canada, they just beat the USA in the gold medal match! This was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. And do my discontent the winning goal scored in overtime was scored by none other than Sydney Crosby, the player I despise with all my heart.
