Penguin Awareness Day/Thesaurus Day/Metric System Day/Icebox Days (Minnesota)
2007-01-18 @ 11:18 p.m.

I passed my ATP! Well, I actually failed the day shoot, so I did a re-shoot for that and nearly doubled my original score. Failed the night shoot, but overall, I registered a pass. My friend, on the other hand, failed in exactly the same way as I did previously. Felt kind of sorry for him, as it means he's going to have to waste another day at the range at some point in the future. Right now, we're waiting for our transport back to camp. For some reason, the people conducting this ATP obviously didn't think they'd finish earlier than 11.30 pm, so that's when the coaches are arriving. It doesn't really matter to me, since I have tomorrow off anyway. I must say though, they were remarkably efficient, at least once they got going. The morning was sluggish because they spent four hours zeroing everyone's rifles, which is just a bizarrely long time to take!
