Good call also. In good spirits, sees the end in sight, second round of academic advising today - has 19 units and wants to add a class in Russian
Замечательно!
I validated SIX semesters of Russian when I arrived at the Naval Academy and then, stupidly, majored in Aerospace Engineering. I could kick myself in the head to
this day. I should have majored in Soviet Studies (which was a major back then) and could have breezed through the next four years.
I took a couple elective courses from the Soviet Studies Department just to get an easy "A."
I think your son will really like it.
Russian just
looks scary because of the Cyrillic alphabet. But, it is mostly phonetic. Each letter makes it's own sound with very few exceptions, unlike English and other languages.
Also, they don't have the word "the".
... new detailers are less confrontational - do what's expected and you'll be rewarded - don't and watch out - but not being set up to fail, can’t get to Midstore so needs a few toiletries, don’t need to bring anything to PPW, told of some comical happenings…
Plebe Summer just
seems to be getting easier when, in fact, it is pretty much the same. The Plebes have adjusted to the routine and they handle the pressure much better. The perception is that it's getting
easier when, in actuallity, they're getting
better.
That's the way it's supposed to be!
Congratulations to the Class of 2014. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, that "light" is a train coming down the tunnel called "the Brigade" and Chemistry.
