Cadet Command Commander Visit..
Apr. 7th, 2006 09:22 pmMORNING
Drove to school today since my mom wasn't going to work. Got to school.. Changed and then practiced a bit. x_x
ROTC
Got my class set and then went out and practiced 'cause everyone was already there. I suck, but whatevz. Around 8:55, got everyone to go to place and waited for MG Winfield to come.. He came.. we did out Color Guard thing.. Everyone else was doing theirs -- Drum Corp, UDT, ADT, PT, and drill. It was.. Blah. We were all talking and stuff when we were near the bungalows and I was looking down a lot whenever the flag was covering my face.. Stupid Drup Corp was messing up our cadence and stuff.. we always got offstep. x_x But yeah.. After that, rushed into my Class A jacket and went to the classroom.
Once the General came in, we did our staff briefing.. It was okay. Col. spent a lot of time explaining the small schools to him.. @_@ But yeah.. When I went, I was all nervous and my voice was shakey. ;_; But yeah.. I dunno. He kept asking me how I found time to do my job.. @_@
Before I started my briefing...
MG Winfield: The three.. In my experience, that is the hardest position. Is that true for you?
ME: Yes, Sir.
During the briefing...
ME: Outside of ROTC, I've participated in the California Scholarship Federation, Key Club --
MG Winfield: Key.. Club..? What's that?
ME: Ah.. Community service, Sir.
MG Winfeld: I like it already!~ But how do you find time to do all that? Ah, I'm sure you'll say in your presentation...
[...]
ME: My goal for ROTC is to keep the cadets informed. As the operations and training officer, I achieve this goal by creating the weekly training schedule and updating the board in the front of the classroom as necessary.
MG Winfield: How do you find time to do all this? See, I got my question in now!
ME: *smiles nervously*
MG Winfield: You do it before and after school?
ME: Yes, Sir.
[...]
ME: One of the challenges I've faced this year is being S-3 as well as Bravo Company Commander --
MG Winfield: Wait..! You're S-3 AND a company commander?!
ME: Ahh.. Yes, Sir. *stutters* There wasn't enough senior leadership in Bravo, so I volunteered to take on the position...
MG Winfield: With all this, I'm curious to know how you're doing in school..
ME: Ahh.. I have a 3.94 cumulative GPA, Sir...
MG Winfield: *shock*
And yeah.. There was some more, but basically, you get the point. Out of everyone, I'm sure I sounded the smartest and all that shit. But what do you expect? It IS, afterall, true. XP
After we were done with the briefing and he talked to us, we went over to the range so he could talk with the class. He talked for a while and Nadia translated.. After that, people asked questions and then finally he was done, and then I dismissed them. Like, one of the first times they've sounded off so well.. It's kinda sad they don't have that kind of pride on the daily basis.. But what can you do?
GOVERNMENT
Went in.. they weren't doing anything.. Then a little while later, she told us to choose a landmark supreme court case and read and make a poster thingy for it.. Did that.. Also got our grade print outs (excluding a few things). That's about it..
LUNCH
Changed outta uniform and then helped
bobbleheadvi study for his quiz.
AP CALCULUS
Half the people were missing 'cause they were juniors and they had some field trip or whatever.. Just talked about Calculus Camp and stuff.. Talked about games.. BLAH! After that, just worked a bit on homework. x_x
ADVISORY
Went on the computers..
ART
I was the only one in class. x_x Courtney, Abraham, and Javier went to Riego's class.. Josh had a game. Selassie was at the psychologist. The four special ed kids were there for the first minute or two, but then their teacher lady came and took them away for something or another. So yeah.. I was the only one in the classroom. Was just sitting at the computer and being all alone and stuff.. Didn't even know what to do.. Finally, around 2:45, Selassie came, so I wasn't alone anymore, hahaha. XP
AFTER SCHOOL
Put all our junk ((so much, 'cause we had a bunch of uniform stuff..)) in the car, and then went to the badminton game.. Just hung around there.. Saw a bunch of people.. Around 4:15 or so, me and
bobbleheadvi left and went to hang in the range 'cause we were bored. I was just laying on my desk and resting my eyes and stuff.. Later on, Teng came in and copied me! =O That loser. XP But yeah.. Around 4:40, went to the gym to tell
aznearthdragon we had to go, but she said she called our parents and told them we were gonna stay until 5:00 or so 'cause we were watching the game.. So I was like, >O and then went back to the range to rest some more.
Around 5:05, Cathy came in and she said
aznearthdragon was outside, so waited for Cathy and
bobbleheadvi to get their stuff, then walked together to go find
aznearthdragon. Their dad came, so they left, but Panyerz tried to help me find her. Finally saw her and then we left.
She told me that her and Kevin kissed.. OMG.. I'm so disappointed in her.. Gosh. I don't even want to discuss it, so whatevz.
I have lots of homework to do.. Calculus Camp is Monday - Wednesday. x_x So I really only have the weekends and Thursday and Friday for actual break time .. x_x What a crappy Spring Break.. and I have to do my math homework half that actual break time, so it's like ARGH! x_x Gotta finish my scholarships and Senior Portfolio too! >O
