Today was a heck of a day. 4th battalion (the one I'm in) went on our GME or Green Mountain Experience trip today, where the rook class heads up to Sugarbush resort for a day of skiing or snowboarding. I've always heard stories about people getting greviously injured while skiing,...

Right before we get off for Thanksgiving break, there is a weekend that the Corp calls "Culminating Weekend" where they test on 3 different subjects before we get the right to walk around at ease, no sandwiching names, no squaring around the halls, eating at ease at the table... pretty...

Norwich is a world that cannot be explained. Merely words cannot give the experience the credit it deserves. The tradition of regimental ball is a part of the experience. Last night was a night that I'm sure my rook buddies and I will remember forever. We had so much fun...

You asked me before what it was that I wish that I had know before NU. What questions did I wish that I had asked? Well, I think you've certainly asked a few good ones! I admit that I still stand by my 'blissful' ignorance policy when jumping into training,...

So the Languages this year decided to build gingerbread houses. And then compete for the super awesome amazing prize of having the best one. Reasons why the German house is the best one: One: It's German Two: We decorated it with pretzels and mustard Three: There is a magical forest...

It's been awhile since I've been on the site to type up a blog. This will be short, though, because I'm busy. My winter break marked the end of a long four-month march through the basics of Rookdom, and it marked the beginning of a new four months of part...

On Tuesday I found out. On Friday the plug was pulled. You continued to breath. Saturday you yawned. Stuck out your tongue On Sunday you opened your eyes. I saw you do it. On Monday you said your first word. Moved by your own. On Tuesday you told your dad...

So this week has been... a mixture of craziness and complete boredom. Explanation: it's the week before finals. For those of you who are still confused by this, here's the more detailed version. Preparing for finals in and of itself is, well, frustrating. On one hand, you want to get...

Winter break has come and gone, and we are all back at Norwich. For a Rook, this is a love-hate period of time. I, personally, will probably find the transition back to ‘Rookie mode’ difficult but not impossible. I will admit that I got lazy over break in terms of...

Ever play with a deck of cards when you were younger; go fish, old maid, crazy eights? Or even in recent years; blackjack, poker, spades? Can you figure out the one thing all these games have in common? … They all involve choice. … Face it: choices have surrounded you your entire life. What card should I keep? Which cards should I release? Which toy do I want to play with? What should I build with my blocks? What clothes should I buy? Which shoes go better with this outfit? What do I want to eat today? Accept it: choices...
