<p>What can freshmen expect from their 2nd semester @ the Academy?</p>
<p>Recognition!</p>
<p>A fast semester.</p>
<p>please please please!</p>
<p>edit that was supposed to be under hornet.</p>
<p>what's "40 days?"</p>
<p>next semester for me is gonna be alot harder, academic wise. but it's different for everyone. comin back from christmas will be tough, but it's okay because we've only gotta last it out two and a half months til we're recognized.. that's a big motivation. we've already lasted 6, so what's another 2 and a half?</p>
<p>Same with the academics. Recognition is right around the corner, as well as spring break. I plan on just keepin my eyes on the prize (prop and wings).</p>
<p>"prop and wings for the 4 degrees......"</p>
<p>flower, 40 days is a countdown to recognition. you can do a search on the forum to pull up last year's info...</p>
<p>Both fencers are expecting a tougher semester academically (though both did very well, thank you!), but all the talk has been about recognition here. I think their fencing schedule will heat up a bit too, with the Falcon Open at the end of Jan, the Notre Dame invitational in Feb., Jr Olympics, etc. </p>
<p>From the maternal standpoint,I wish they could have another month at home. I HATE that they are going back so soon. We were just getting started.</p>
<p>odd as it may sound, I am ready to get back and hit the ground runnin... ;)</p>
<p>HNeedle... that brought back some awesome/horrible memories...
As for me, academically things will be harder, but like they said, we only have 2 and a half months left, so as much as I love being home, I'm ready to go back to school and knock it out and get 40 days and recognition over with!</p>
