Today we had a treacherous snowstorm. I woke up, and found out that Navy PT, afternoon class, and work were all canceled today. Unfortunately, my 9 a.m. calculus class was not canceled. So I went to calculus then came back to the room and slept until lunch, went back to sleep until dinner, then came to the Navy office to study and practice navigation. We've been doing maneuvering boards lately, which is an antiquated way of navigating that we used before radar was invented. The Navy still wants us to learn it, so we do. And it's pretty interesting. There's pretty much an algorithm for it, so once you memorize the steps you can do it without having to think too much. It's kind of funny because the book we use for it seems like it is right out of the 1940s or something. But it works.
