I got up at 0500 this morning to perform the Navy Physical Fitness Assessment, and it went very well. It was the makeup PFA for the Midshipmen that had midterms during the PFA on Wednesday, and our LT loaded us up in the van and drove us over to the Yale track. I did well on the pushups, situps and the 1.5 mile run. No complaints.

Now its 7:30 in the morning and I'm just killing time until class. I was actually thinking a minute ago that if someone had told me three years ago that I would be in the Navy and down the road be a commissioned officer, I probably would have laughed. I love it when things don't turn out the way I planned and end up being better than  my plans. "Plans are useless, but planning is crucial."

Today I have Naval Science at 0900 to 1015 and then work immediately afterwards. After that I'll probably get my homework done for the weekend and enjoy the evening. It'll be a good weekend. 15 days until I head back home, and I can't wait to go on a long drive and enjoy not being in a cramped up city. Living in a city kind of feels like an animal living within the confines of a cage. But with more amenities.
