Another toasty day builds anticipation on board the ship, as tomorrow Delta Company becomes the first company to take the T-8 round of training exams.  For the freshmen, this is their second deck-side test, and their first drawing test from the engineering department.  The juniors will be taking extremely rigorous exams, as this is the final for their cruise.  A more positive form of anticipation is building for Casino Night, just a few days away, where midshipmen will be able to win prizes such as a Kindle Fire, or $50 Amazon gift card.
