    Senior Cruise

    By Blue Fire,

    I got to go on the Senior Cruise with my NJROTC Unit Monday and today in Groton, CT. Despite the name, only NS3s (The Highest cadets in our unit can get up to) could go, and we didn't really go on a cruise.
     
    We did, however, go on a Submarine (an actual in-commission Sub (Today), and a museum (Monday)). The one in commission was so cramped I sucked in my gut in order to get through some areas, and I had a full stomach (BTW, if you're ever in that area, GET THE NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER!). And the museum... it was a bit cramped as well, but I could at least move around a little.
     
    Had General Tso's chicken at the hotel's restruaunt. Somebody was complaining about not feeling well after, but I felt fine (in fact, I could've went for more). And before that, we went to a Sauna, and everyone was relaxed and stuff (until the steam was starting to take the fresh air away). Then we just went into the jacuzzi.
     
    Earlier today, we went to the Mystic Aquarium. Saw a Beluga Whale, Sea Lion, penguins, seals, and many more. Saw Spongebob in 4D, which was intresting (the pirate guy will give me nightmares, however). I pet a Stingray (it felt weird).
     
    I took around 200 pictures. Some of boats, fish, friends, and medals, others of local architecture and 20mm cannons.
     
    So, even though we spent one day in Groton... it was worth it. I had fun, I got two magnets, a T-shirt, and allot of memories.

    I've been having a serious unexplainable nostalgia of wanting to play this game. Probably because of the soundtrack, but anyway...
     
    I need to get my hands on a copy again. I'm practically foaming at the mouth wanting to play it.
     
     
    Has anyone else felt like this for a video game, let alone a movie based video game?

    Does anyone feel that half (well, more than half) the games on this list shouldn't be here? I mean, I understand it was a poll, but seriously?

    In the College Life: Since the semester ended, I've started going to the gym and I lost around 10-15 pounds, and I'm able to lift up to 90 pounds on weights (yeah, it's not much, but "The journey of a thousand miles..." and all that).
     
    I worked my college Orientation, and I liked it for the most part. Somebody lost their key on the football field, so my buddy and I went searching for it (keep in mind that this was in the dark). We turned up nothing. Went back to the Residence Hall, chugged down a Mountain Dew, and searched for that key again (cuz I wasn't going to let my school to replace a lock and key). didn't find it.
     
    The next day/morning, it's found when one of the football players step on it. So, all was good.
     
     
    In My Regular Life: After working Orientation, I went shopping with my friend, and we ate at Friendly's afterwards. I talked with her about all the other blood-boiling stuff that happened during Orientation (which she tells me happens every year... Challenge Accepted (for 2014)). And shopping with her was surprisingly fun. We went to Barnes and Noble, and she helped me out in deciding which Star Wars book to get (Book of the Sith, or Imperial Commando). She helped me in going for Imperial Commando, and it's a pretty good read. Along they way, she had to go shoe shopping (her sandal was broken, and it only lasted two minutes (This is something worth bragging about: shoe shopping normally NEVER takes two minutes with anyone. It was sheer luck that we walked in, and instantly found the shoes).
     
    The Lone Survivor movie trailer has been released, and I'm already excited to see it. I'm preparing to go see it as a midnight release, and then a second time with friends.
     
    I have a friend that's moving to Connecticut, and I'm already making road-trip plans to visit her. I'm aiming for visiting during Thanksgiving, but I have to find somebody willing to drive for four hours (I'd do it, but I lack a license) to and from (unless we can spend the night somewhere). At the absolute worst, I will buy a bus ticket to where I need to go. Nothing will stop me from seeing my friend.
     
     
    Gaming: I have (finally) started getting into the Assassin's Creed series. It started off a bit slow (learning controls and such), but I liked it. My main complaint though was that there really much variety with saving the citizens (which I've heard is fixed in later games, so nothing to worry about there).
     
    I have 100% in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. Like the main game, it is so much fun.
     
    Television: I've only recently came across How I Met Your Mother. Why haven't I seen this show before? The first few episodes that I watch, and I end up loving the show (namely the episodes with Honey, Ted getting left at the altar, and Marshal and Lilly's House Warming Party).
     
    While I do like Big Bang Theory, no matter how hard I try to watch it, I need to watch it with friends. It's probably because I first started watching it with friends,
     
     
     
    And that's it for my life as of late.
