Boring
I assume you all figured out that I got too lazy to continue with that logbook thing. It wasn't that interesting though. Hell, even I'm not that interested and I'm the one doing the training. Well, my instrument class is coming to an end, I'll get my rating soon. Looking forward to that.In other news: I have no other news.

Is that everything?
I figured it had been so long since I made an actual post here, that maybe you all deserved it. Maybe I should take the time to write down what I've been doing so that you can know. Because I know the crazy citizens of the internet are dying to know. Yesterday I went on my 3-hour flight for school. Supposed to go to Morgantown, WV; Erie, PA; and back. Yeah, I went there. But it took 4.5 hours in the air, and about 6 hours total. So I was late for work and stuff, but there's always like 2 computers to work on and 6 employees so it was okay. On the way back I got the most beautiful view of the sunset over Cleveland. A fiery red hot sun. Sailor's Delight and all that. Then it was freaking night. I didn't expect the flight to take so long so I didn't have a flashlight. So I was flying by radio navigation only, which worked okay. I flew past the airport and ended up exactly where I needed to be, but it was stressful.I started reading the little story I wrote after the JeloH LAN, where we won the Unreal Tournament...Tournament, and it got me to think about how much I want to play it again. I want everyone to come back and practice again and maybe go to another tournament. If they are still playing that. But I just want to play. Maybe when Half-Life 2 comes out we can all get together and play that and some UT2k4 and maybe some doom3, and maybe some CoD, WolfET,Q3, and anything else except halo 2. Oh what the hell, we can play Halo 2...too.
Rick expressed interest in going somewhere far away for snowboarding. I guess I am into it, but we agreed that we'd all need some good practice in at brandywine before we invest the money. Brandywine is suitable for me, as I am not that good at it. But I really like to snowboard, and being with my friends is enough for me, so I am definately in.
School has been going great. The lowest grade I've gotten in Aircraft Systems 1 is 94%, and most of my other classes are the same. I'm running at near 100% in Hydraulics. I'm putting way more effort in this year, cause I have much more motivation :D
So life is good for me....Busy, but definately good. I love hanging out with friends, my wonderful girlfriend Alison, and not being stressed out a lot like last year. I like where I am going now...

Grounded Again
suffering ensues.
So I was going to fly a Cessna 172P Skyhawk for the first time today. I even got out to preflight the aircraft, but then the flight manager comes out and tells my flight instructor that I can't fly wearing shorts. And I need a second class medical (I only have a third). But the shorts were enough to ground me(aviation term for not allowed to fly). So I got to play with the new 172R's but not fly. They were cool and all, but they were on the ground.I bet they are beautiful from the air.

Randomness
It happens
Heh, just got done playing UT2004 demo with a bunch of people from the dorm, and Will even played for two rounds, unlike that lazy Jo who's only commented on this site once. It is a really fun game in onslaught mode. It basically puts Halo vehicles in Unreal Tourney 2003.I started using FireFox. Dumb name, but works better than IE.
For all those who have trouble reading my cryptic updates, I did take my Private Pilot Practical Test on Saturday, and yes, I passed. Didn't do as well as I wanted, but I still made it. Now I gotta get into the Commercial Flight class at KSU.
After taking the test for 6.5 hours, we were going to have a LAN or something at Jo's. Oh well, I was tired anyways. Sunday we went to a useless computer show. Me and Rick decided Peter Trapp is worthless now. From now on we're only going if we know we are going to buy something. Then went to CompUSA with Tim and Dan. Then went to the Animation show, only getting lost 2.5 times. It was the same as last time, oh well, still fun.
