For the last year or so I have been wrestling with my KSU cumulative GPA to get it over 3.0. It's a stubborn little number, currently paused at 2.957, and with my internship coming up, I need it defeated. Internships require a minimum GPA of 3.0, and although there are exceptions, I want to be accepted without any exceptions, under my own power. Well I had the last of my finals yesterday, so except for flying I'm done for the semester. I'm thinking that I got 3 A's in all of my classes this semester, which should hopefully do the job, but only time will tell in the coming week or two...
VICTOLY! 3.020

I am horrible at working on projects before they are due. I can only focus just before it's due, like the night before. Otherwise I just get carried away by hyperlinks. Especially in wikipedia...that site is the worst when it comes to me staying on topic. I spent the entire weekend working on my de Havilland Comet 8 page paper and just barely got it finished. I have to make a powerpoint on my court case for Aviation Law and Safety and research for my CFIT 6 page essay tomorrow, write the essay and do powerpoints on both the Comet and CFIT on tuesday. Tuesday is my law and safety presentation. Wednesday is my comet and CFIT presentations. I can't wait until finals where my workload will be much less!

I know I complain a lot about how I have so much work to do all the time but with my senior year coming to an end and almost being finished with everything, all I do these days is work. Well, that's what I should be doing. What I'm really doing is playing Q3 and watching anime.
Let's start off with Aviation Law and Safety. I was assigned to a group of 4 a while back, assigned a court case 199 US 194(i think), and an ambigous due date (sometime next week). As of yet, our group has not fully met and of course it's me who's emailing everybody trying to get their lazy asses to the library to meet. It may even be due Thursday. Not sure. Good thing there is no paper or I'd be doing that for everyone. 15 min presentation for this, google doesn't give any more information than the actual case summary, which is written in legal speak, and even there doesn't say much. Next will be Physiology and Human Factors in Flight. 3-6 page paper and 15 min presentation. Would be doing lots of work on this if I knew what my topic would be. Totally can't think of one. Human factors is boring. Applied Transport Category Aircraft Systems. 8-10 page paper and 20 min presentation on the Dehaviland Comet. That won't be too hard if I actually get moving on it. Severe lack of motivation at the moment though. Both this and Human Factors are due around Dec 7-9. Not exactly sure. Commercial 3 flying: Almost ready for my Commercial checkride. 5 hours of fun that day, whenever that is. It depends on the weather. Very nervous about that. I need to have it done before next semester or I'll get behind again. I've only just barely caught up. Continental Express Internship: I've gotten most everything I need to turn this in Feburary. It's about the only thing I'm not severely behind in. And then the week after all this is due: IT'S FINALS TIME can't wait.

I turned in my application for Spring 06 Graduation in may. With any luck, I can finish everything by then and get accepted for the continental express internship during the summer. From there I need to get hired as a flight instructor in august/fall 06 and build my time until I get hired by Continental Express. It's scary that I'm coming to the end of this and will have to actually make money with this flying stuff. I've been wanting to take a digital camera up with me sometime to take pictures, but I'm far to lazy and have soo much work to do in the air that I really wouldn't get time to get good pictures anyway. The National Intercollegate Flying Association Regional Tournament is coming up soon, during the week of October 10th, so I will not be around. I made the landings team so I am le happy. We meet every night until 10:30 and it's really wearing me out. If we do well enough, we'll go to the national competition and this schedule will never get better.

Ok, I know when to admit when I'm wrong. The DDR machine in Eastway has changed, but it is actually better now. Before, you would get 4 songs for a dollar, but now you get 3 songs for 50 cents. This works well because now you can play 3 double songs for one dollar, and if there are a lot of people in front of you to play it doesnt take as long. I kept putting in a dollar and not noticing I still had another credit left in the machine. I threw away DDR that was rightfully mine! Oh Shame! I'm making up for it though, I even got an A on A, but I can't do it consistantly and still fail sometimes.
