Where have you been?

To all my loyal readers (Molly and my critic-Anonymous[see prior post comments]), I apologize for my period of absence. February was a busy month! To start the month off, I was part of the 50th annual Academy Assembly, which hosted more than 100 delegates from over 15 countries to discuss a relevant topic-dismantling terrorism. This program for which I am the CFO made NY Times headlines by inviting 3 ex-terrorists/reformed fundamentalist Christians to come talk to the delegates. To close out the week, Steve Emerson came to talk about radical Islam's role in terrorism today. He was blunt, truthful, and full of facts. Despite this, he still managed to piss off our entire Muslim population (15 kids). Despite these tense times, I enjoyed the week, including free $30 and $45 plate meals where I got to show off my new suit.

I turned the big 21 on February 17th, and celebrated at Old Chicago's, a wonderful pizza place, with several of my closest friends. I am not afraid to boast that I am a lightweight, and got quite a buzz after 5 drinks. I ended up having close to 9 on the night including some drinks with great names-kamikaze (picture), scooby snacks, four horsemen (yuck!), muff diver (hehe) , soco lime , Irish Car bomb, and a few more.
Unfortunately the excitedness of being 21 was short lived. Although I am 21, I am still a cadet, and thus have school work. I have had 6 tests, 4 quizzes, and 1 project due in the past two weeks, thus my absence from the blogging game. I am back though. 18 days until Spring Break, and in my opinion a well deserved break. Exciting plans anyone?
