I passed my school check ride. What an ordeal. I'm now all set to work on my instrument rating next semester. Except: I got an E-mail from my instructor saying that since my flight to Lake Ontario a few months back didn't count because I was 4 miles short of the 250 mile requirement. I wrongly assumed that the requirement was just 6 hours, so it's ( Read more... )

I can't even describe how frustrated I am with flying right now. All semester things were going great with flying; I had a great streak going, and I hadn't failed a lesson out of twenty all semester. In order to complete the course and end the semester I have to do one flight with an instructor other than my own, in order to demonstrate adequate ( Read more... )

I need to motivate myself more. It seems like all I do lately is chill in my room playing xbox or watching tv on my computer. I have a vocabulary list of over 700 japanese words that aren't going to learn themselves, and a dream guitar that's been gathering dust lately. I feel like I'll never even scratch the type of talent even some of the the ( Read more... )

I want to play guitar like vinny from brand new. I didn't get to talk to garrett this time around. What a chill dude! Invited me to skydive in long island with them. ahah like I would ever get a real chance to skydive with brand new!

Japanese is a hard language, but I'm teaching myself as best I can, becuase I feel like it will open alot of doors as far as flying oppurtunities are concerned. I would much rather be a corporate pilot, because I don't think I'll ever be the type of person who could afford to travel on my own, so it would be nice to have the chance to see the world ( Read more... )

Every week I dread the weekends. I hate work. Mostly I hate working with Paula. she hates me just because we have to split tips on the nights we work together.In reality I should hate her, because she was stealing from me before the managers started splitting our tips, but I don't.It just sucks, she's nice to all the servers because she wants them ( Read more... )

My life is so frustrating lately. Flying is my only release, and since I'm going it alone more these days I can relax and enjoy the scenery. spins are probably the most fun I can think off.When the plane stops flying and begins to spin towards the ground, it's a sensory experience. The earth begins to blur, and the airframe shakes and creeks ( Read more... )

My trip to Rhode Island pretty much confirmed what I already knew; New England is really boring. I could take a trip to all four corners of New England and would see the same scenery; plazas and maybe some ocean. what would my ideal trip be? probably Japan. And for anyone who doubts my decision I have one phrase: Walking robot vending machines! but ( Read more... )

Hmmmm sweet victory and chocolate milk; I call that a win-win

I think I found my calling
