Ominous sounding title, no?
It refers to the fact that the infamous 40 days leading up to Recognition have begun. In 43 days, I will again be considered a human! However, the tunnel is going to get a lot darker before it gets brighter, so I will appreciate any and all prayer. As we head into this last stage of freshmen life, we will be tested physically and mentally beyond anything we have ever gone through before. Once we are finished with it though, we will be DONE with all the mindless rules imposed on us, as well as no longer being objects for the upperclassmen to exert their power over.
The Countdown Begins! 40... :)

freshmanitis
I'm sure most of you have heard of the term "senioritis." I think that once you have a bout of it in your senior year of high school, that you can never really defeat it... at most, you might manage to achieve an uneasy truce. Unfortunately, I think that I am going to a place where this -itis can be tacked onto any year... freshman, sopohmore, junior, senior. I've only had two days of school and I'm already tired! :)
One must look on the bright side though. This semester seems to be shaping up to be a good one academically. I like all my instructors so far (save one - not sure about her yet), and with the exception of English, my classes seem pretty good too! The biggest plus is that I have gotten a good first impression of my math instructor. I found out last semester how important they can be to your health. :(
I've got English, Behavioral Science, Differential Equations, Engineering mechanics, German, Physics, and Boxing.
There are only about 9 weeks until Recognition (after which comes... wait for it... freedom!) and then SPRING BREAK! I can't wait for multiple very good reasons. :)
And, since I am sooo bad at giving updates with any kind of regularity, I might as well mention my summer plans. There are three periods during the summer, during which you do three different things. Coincidental, huh? Anyway, I'm hoping to do Combat Survival Training (CST) and during the first period, Jump School the second, and LEAVE the third! I really don't know what will happen during my leave besides going home, but a possible trip down to Yosemite for an Assembly Conference with some best friends might be in order... we'll see.
Until the next time that I remember about this little place, adieu!
