Time is a fluid, funny thing at academy. The first few days, as we get to know each other and you go through cell phone withdrawal, will pass very slowly. As soon as you're acclimated and have made friends, time will zip by and you will find yourself, as if by magic, at the Closing Ceremony. However, moments of homesickness will flit in and out. So, as you are preparing for academy and deciding what to pack (consult the checklists!), take some time to spend time with your family, friends, and pets. By the end of academy, I miss my cats sooooo much. Bring pictures! Yes, I have five cats. :)
