There are officially 0 and a butt days until graduation and graduation leave for the class of 2011. Finally! It seems like this year has taken forever but summer is finally here. I'm off to CTLT in Ft. Benning, GA and then LDAC in Ft. Lewis, WA before I head on down to Brazil for the semester. Very excited, to say the least!
I'm off to bed so that I can parade at my very best tomorrow for the graduating Firsties. The portuguese word of the day is "oculos de sol" which means sunglasses. On to the beach!
I will be spending a semester away from the United States Military Academy at West Point in favor of Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras in Resende, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. You can follow my adventures and shenanigans here.

Countdown! 20 Days 'til Graduation!
Só dias vinte mais! ("Only twenty more days" in Portuguese)
As the year winds down, I find myself preparing for summer training and leave and doing less and less classroom oriented work. With TEEs or Term End Exams looming, I need to study hard and finish this semester strong!
I have created a "Brazilian Radio" station on my Pandora account and been watching Globo (a Portuguese television network) on Vbrick a little more, recently. I can't really understand much, but I catch the odd word here and there. Diving into an entirely portuguese speaking culture should be interesting.
5 days 'til Friday, 11 days until TEE Leave and the 3rd Annual Rosie Classic, 20 days until Graduation, 22 days until CTLT, 51 days until LDAC, 79 days until Brazil, and 223 days until Army beats the hell out of Navy in football!
Portuguese word of the day is, "cachorrinho" which means "puppy". Can't wait to see my dog Max in 11 days!
