I think many chose studying over 100s night. DD did not as it was about an hour of the shenanigans and said it was the funniest and most chaotic time ever. She had a blast! Oh and 90 days until Plebes NO more!

Is anyone going to the Winter Concert next weekend? My DGD is an Assistant Stage Manager, which I understand is a big accomplishment for a Plebe. I would love to hear about it and am hoping DH and I can attend next year. I understand the Glee Club puts on spectacular events.

Never made it to Winter Concert. We have been to Easter Service at the Chapel and it is a wonderful experience. I am told that Halloween/All Saints is a great show but never made that one either. Make as many as you can. The more memories the better.

Yes! Will be attending the Saturday night performance. My DS is also a plebe and is performing in the musical. Congrats to your DGD!

6-weeks are over. Son says that he is still waiting for grades to show up in the system. But said he did kind of "meh" in his big classes (Calc II and Chem II). Thinks he's okay overall, but just didn't do that great on the exams.

It's almost the end of February already. Spring break is less than a month away??!!

My DS recently attended a Mariachi club performance. He wanted to support a plebe he is mentoring and he was blown away by not just the plebe’s talent, but the whole group. Truly remarkable, he said.

He has also enjoyed Glee Club and the Halloween performances. Incredible talent. I hope to see one someday.

The USNA Music Dept YouTube channel has the mariachi group videos.

Major selections are input!

Son asked for Applied Math with History as his back-up.

He scored 100% on ProKnow for NSW. But he still isn't planning to go SEALs. ;)

Also, did their freestyle test in swimming, which he passed, but was not happy with the stroke count. Said they can re-do one later, and I'm going to work with him over Spring Break on his form and stroke.

Yup, Spring Break is next week!

DS is putting in for Robotics and Control Engineering as 1st and Cyber Operations as 2nd. Do you know when the find out what was accepted for their major? He is also very excited about spring break. He is in the Men's Glee Club and they are heading out to Arizona and California. I'm happy for him - but am sad not to see him. Congratulations to your son on his swimming! Woohoo!

I believe/thought Friday they will find out. That's what I thought DS advised. Awesome opportunity traveling with GC. A Firstie in GC was in scouts with my son.

My plebe is in Mens Glee as well. He is very much looking forward to the tour! As he is in Aero Engineering already, it is his first choice and I assume he will get it. Mech Engineering is plan B and Naval Engineering is plan C.
