A Tribute to Those KIA or MIA From Anything!

Hello fine people.  It's another beautiful day here at the University of the Sciences And the Fine Arts (USAFA).  I'm sitting in my ECE class at the moment learning about the logic behind electrical circuits engineering (ECE).  The room is a little bit darker today than it was during the class without the presence of the famous Dr. Steve.  I came into this class last time with an extremely disconsolate look on my face, but the moment I saw Dr. Steve join us at the well known position of attention as we started class, I received the extra burst of motivation I needed to finish out the morning.  USAFA thanks this man for his service.  Much love to you Dr. Steve!

We are 7, death from above, minutes into class at this point, and we are still discussing those who are MIA or were KIA from our last test.  We are all supporting each other to our fullest ability, but with a test average of 66% for the class, well, I'm sure can imagine the casualties that took place with that.  This class is extremely relevant to my future, and I cannot wait to apply it later in life.  Maybe when I'm older and have younger swallows under my wing, they can benefit from my lack of knowledge on electrical circuits engineering.

Now that I've rambled about the story of my morning, I have a question for you:  Do you ever feel like the world is crumbling on top of you and like there is no way out?  In other words, do you every have 'bad' days?  The answer should be yes for all of us.  There is nothing wrong with that.  We all have to take time to sit down and analyze what is really happening around us.  You are not alone!  Everyone, whether they admit it or not, has bad days.  If you're reading this, and you are one of the unlucky ones today, check out this video for a little bit of motivation.  Remember how far you've come.

Fun fact:  I use this sleep tracker app called 'Sleep' on android.  It's telling me that I have slept an average of 4 hours and 50 minutes  a night for the last two weeks.  If this is you, just know, I FEEL YOUR PAIN, and wish you and myself the best of luck in trying to get out of this sleep slump.

I hope you all have a Swall....ow (swell) day.  Much love.  Stay gold.
