PAYING ATTENTION
Every
night around 7:00, I go to this thing called Navy Study tours. At this Navy
study tour’s all the freshman midshipmen all go to Surge Hall to study. People from all over the country come here for
two things, one to graduate from Virginia Tech, and two to get commissioned to
the United States Navy. The Navy Study Tours or NST’s is very different than
that of normal corps life. It is better. You can relax and listen to music while doing
your homework or studying. But as I look around I still see people just gazing
around and not getting anything done, which that makes no sense to me because I
am taking full advantage of the time given to me. People have different values I
guess. When everything is calm and piece full and people not trying to rip your
head off, it is really nice. It is a great stress relief just to come down from
upper quad and you can do whatever you want. The civilians of this school have
no idea of what actually happens. The great break of NST’s you can see the facial
expression of your other buds and be able to communicate with them is a fantastic
feeling. Being able to pay attention to something without trying to look at it
while staring strait ahead, that is the best part of paying attention because
you truly see what happens instead of just rushing through life without have
time to stop and slow down for a while and I know the life style I chose is not
the best for paying attention.
