Of Leave and Updates |
|
Well, I've been back in action for almost two weeks
now, so it seems only fitting that I actually get around to posting the
articles I wrote over Spring Break. One is a review, and the other is a
short feature commemorating the 1-year anniversary of this site.
These past couple of weeks have just been a whirlwind
of activity for me, what with exams, PRT remedial workouts, and the
like. However, I still have found time for the important things, like
going to my girlfriend's ring dance ;). At any rate, the semester is
starting to come to a close, which means my course work is really
starting to pile up. I will nevertheless attempt to update more
regularly than I have been. |

Here it is Wednesday already, and I
haven’t even touched the site yet. Yikes! My Spring Break is just flying
by, since I have been keeping myself so busy. Between working in the
greenhouses, playing games, and meeting family and friends, I hardly
have any time to goof off! At any rate, for the rest of the week I am
going to try to work on typing up a couple of articles that I intend on
posting once I get back to my computer at the Academy. These articles
will hopefully be on a variety of subjects and of different types (Not
just reviews!). I am really looking forward to Friday, as I am going to
drive down to Terra Haute to visit Vince, one of my best friends who
goes to Rose Hulman. I don’t know how many updates I’ll get done on that
night, but at least I can work on it during the times in between! Okay,
I guess I’ll close for now and start working on the updates, as opposed
to just talking about them ;).

Well, I am finally leaving on Spring
Break. I can hardly wait to get home!

This post is really just a test of
the new temporary page. I acknowledge that it is pretty bare bones, but
that is simply so that I can get some practice updating a website
without the benefit of FrontPage. |

The Light at the End of the Tunnel |
|
Two more days, and then it is home for Spring Break!
Last week, I was feeling kind of under the weather...partly because I
was sick with a really bad cold, and partly because I failed the PRT
(the two probably aren't unrelated). However, last weekend I got the
chance to go to California and be an escort at the
Silver Rose Debutante Ball. Wherever you read "Air Force Academy
Cadets" in that article, substitute "Andy Rucker and his fellow Naval
Academy Midshipman" and you are pretty much there. The Air Force Academy
usually provides the escorts for this event, but for whatever reason,
the AFA declined to do it this year. So, the Naval Academy got the call
instead. I really enjoyed the trip, as it was my first time in
California. I only wish I could have spent more time there! Boy, was the
weather nice... Anyway, this week has been
tortuous. Due to my PRT failure, I've had mandatory workouts at oh-dark
thirty to attend every morning. On top of that, I have several
assignments due this week and what seems like next to no time to work on
them. But, as the title of this post mentions, there is a Light, in the
form of a plane ride home on Friday night. Hooray!
While I'm home, I may or may not sit down and work
on some updates for the site. I have a metric butt load of anime and
videogames waiting for me when I get back, so I kind of doubt I'll get
to it. As always, We Will See. I will be going with a simplified main
page/blog/whatever you want to call it this next week, so that I can
update the page more easily from home using something like Word or even
Notepad. This is more because of my notorious lack of l337 h4xor skillz
than anything else, but I think this will be a step in the right
direction in the sense that it will probably lead to my getting more
familiar with HTML in the process.
As far as content updates are concerned...they are
coming, I promise! The one year anniversary of the site is coming up at
the end of the month, and I hope to have a few special features ready
for the occasion. |
