75. This is my final blog, and it is after my first final exam. The math exam was not very difficult, I expect I got around a 140 out of 150 on it. There were only a few things on it that I didn't have down perfectly well, which I expected, but I still think I did very well on it. I had 9 A's as my answers to 20 of the multiple choice questions, which is pretty strange. I really don't like having that many of the same letter on a test, it's just strange. If I'd ever take a test that had the same letter answer for every single question, I'd definitely fail it, without a doubt.

74. Tonight is my last night before finals. I have my math final tomorrow morning, and I am not looking forward to it too much. There is a chance that it will not be hard at all, but there is also a chance that it will be really hard, depending on the questions that they ask. I am expecting about the same for all my finals. I am expecting all of them to be easy, but with a slight chance that they could be incredibly hard, if they ask certain questions that I'm not so solid on and won't be solid on by the time the tests come around.

73. The Steelers won today. It was good to see them win, because they have to win most, if not all, of their remaining games in order to have a chance at the Superbowl. It feels like I am already on Christmas break. I guess I am mentally still on break from Thanksgiving, which isn't good, since finals are coming up, and they are a big deal.

72. Had my last day of classes today of the semester. It is nice to be finally done. It is a total relief to be done for the semester, because now I don't have to worry about a single thing for a long time. My last class of the semester was Econ. It was just a review session for the test next week. It doesn't seem like the test should be too bad, and depending on how my group did on our project, I might possibly get an A in the class, which might be enough to put me on Dean's list, because my GPA this semester should be between a 3.4 and a 3.6.

71. Been doing a lot of work recently to finish up everything and get ready for the end of the year. I did the rest of my dirty laundry so that I won't have any dirty laundry waiting for me when I get back from break. I have also made my room cleaner and cleaned it up, so that will be better to return to than the mess that I've had for a while. I am also looking forward to some of the things that are going to come with next semester. Next semester I will no longer have mandatory study hours for ROTC, but I will have harder classes that will crush me.

70. I slept in a lot this week and missed some of my classes, which I have done a lot recently, but it is probably worse with finals coming up. I definitely need to go to all my classes in order to prepare for my finals, but I just can't for some reason, I've just lost interest in going to class. I really really need this break to come so that I can get back in the mood and be motivated again.

69. Finals are coming up next week. It will be nice once they are over. Once finals are over, we will all have a nice long break without any stress or things to worry about. I cannot wait until break comes, and I can be home for Christmas and Thanksgiving. My buddies from home want me to come back and as soon as my finals are over, I intend to go home. I have one final on Monday and two on Friday, one in the morning and one in the evening, which is an awful exam schedule, but once I'm done, it will be nice.

68. With Penn State football basically over, I have focused more on the Steelers again. They lost last week and now they really need to win the rest of their games to make the playoffs or have a chance at the Superbowl. It would be amazing if they make the Superbowl, especially after Penn State didn't manage to make the Rose Bowl. Penn State won the Big Ten division, and it would be nice to have another champion team if the Steelers win the AFC or even the Superbowl.

67. Well, we got picked for the Orange Bowl. It would've been a lot more exciting around here if we would've been picked for the Rose Bowl, but oh well, the Orange Bowl is nothing to be ashamed of either. If only we hadn't lost that game to Michigan... I still can't believe that one. It would have been nice to be National Champions, but everybody still knows that we are a great team. Next year I think we will be just as good, if not better. I hope next year we still have a strong enough defense, because our offense will definitely be just as good if not better next year.

66. Football day today. Time to watch the football games and see if either Texas or USC will lose and possibly move us up the rankings enough to get us into the Rose Bowl. When USC almost lost to Fresno State, it was ridiculous, and I was really excited. Now I am hoping that UCLA can beat USC. It would be amazing if, my first year at Penn State, we would go to the Rose Bowl. I think the whole campus would be amazed and everybody in the area would be having a great time. It would definitely be something that I would never forget for probably the rest of my life, if we went to the Rose Bowl or even if we won it my freshman year.

65. I decided to take tonight easy and just sit around. There were a lot of people down on my floor tonight, just hanging out in the hallway. A lot went on in the hall and on our floor tonight, too much to explain and some of which probably shouldn't be explained. One of the kids on our floor had to go to the hospital because he tripped and fell and smashed his face off the floor and split his chin open, he had to get 7 stitches. I love our floor, it's always a fun time and the people are always having fun. It kinda sucks that my friend had to get 7 stitches, but at the same time, I'm amazed that it's actually our floor's first hospital visit, we should've had about 10 more by now.

64. Today was a good day, had PT early in the morning, then I had a physics recitation that was very easy so it didn't take too long. Later in the day the only class I had was my first year seminar class, which we never do anything serious in. After my seminar I went out with my brother's friend for a little while and just hung out with him, and then I came back to the dorm and hung out with everybody around here. Then I finished up work on my final paper draft as well as did my physics homework which is due at midnight. It was probably the easiest homework we've had yet, and didn't take long at all to do. I have a feeling I'm going to be perfectly fine in my major because of how well I'm doing in comparison to all the other people who are failing the same classes that I am taking for my major.

63. Today I accidentally slept in too long. I figured that I didn't have to get up until about 10:30, so there was really no need to set my alarm. I woke up and it was 8 am, and I decided I didn't want to get up quite then, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, it was 1:30. I was pretty surprised that I had slept for that long and overslept that much. I didn't think that I would have slept in even nearly as long as I actually did. I figured that the worst case would be that I would sleep until 10:30, not want to get out of bed, and lay there and be a few minutes late to class instead of just oversleeping them. I didn't mean to oversleep them, but I guess that's what happens after Thanksgiving break, which totally destroyed my sleeping schedule.

62. We had our special drill tonight for AFROTC. At first look, it looked like it was going to be incredibly difficult to do. What it was was just a bunch of marching in certain orders to certain parts. We had to do a bunch of pretty random steps to random positions. It was 3 minutes long, and we were the only group to do it without any commands, so we did it silently so we had to have it all memorized. It was not nearly as difficult as I expected it to be when it came time to do it, because we had already had two practices for it. If we win, it will be good for our flight, and I have a feeling we did pretty well, although we did have quite a few mistakes while doing it, but that should be made up for by us doing it completely silently.

61. I am glad to be back. I am not glad to have to wake up at 5 am again twice a week for PT, but I am glad to be back otherwise. I missed everything that goes on up here. I missed the environment, always being around good friends. It is nice to have food conveniently close that I don't have to make myself. I at my first meal in the dining halls while being back for dinner. The food isn't great up here, but it's something that is missed when it isn't around. Tomorrow I have a busy class day once again, which will not be fun, but at least I got to rest and relax over break so I think I'm ready for full class days for a while.
