"The Dark Ages" are tough all around, that weary, gray stretch between Christmas and Spring Break. Fever visions of the coming beach vacation are a faint source of hope, but that escape seems almost as far away as commissioning.
In the meantime, the easily-distracted mind of the male midshipman swirls with high hopes for the girl he met back home over Christmas leave. Maybe she'll go to Ring Dance with him next year! Or maybe (and more likely) she doesn't remember who he is and she's already two boyfriends down the road. Sorry, champ. Looks like you'll be ringing in Firstie year with your awkward cousin, Erma (Your mom owes her mom a favor anyway.)
