Odd day today. It was good and bad.
Started out fine. Get to school and immediatly had the "final" for the course I'm in. Kinda wierd to have it with another 20% of the course to go, but who am I to judge Navy logic?
Well, that was a joke. 30 questions multiple choice and I did fine on it. Took me less than 6 minutes to complete it and then I got a wonderful 15 minute break... my longest non-meal break in 2 weeks. Came back from that to a quick review (no one failed) and 40 minutes later it was time for the presentations. I jumped to the head of the line and nailed mine. Just needed to knock it out before I could get nervous I guess.
And thats where the good ends. Instead of splitting us up into 4 or 5 groups so that the presentations went by quicker and got us out early, we were split into 3 groups. Two of seven and one of eight. I was in the eight. That turned out to be 5 hours of student demonstrations that lasted mind-numbingly far into the afternoon. It was killing all of us by the end, but finally the end came around. Thats when they dropped the next bomb on us: "Here's a lesson plan. You need to have it completed and ready to turn in by 6:45 tomorrow morning (Oh! Did we forget to tell you tomorrow was an early day?) so that we can review them in the morning and you can start your presentations in the afternoon."
That pretty much shot my few remains of a warm and fuzzy straight to shit. So here it is, already late into the day and they sprung anywhere from 2 to 4 hours worth of homework on us. Ugh! OH yeah, and I have to be there 45 minutes early again.
Ah well, only 2 more days!!! Then I have another 10 of leave before I have to check in at my next command
