Regarding the SnoFun thing

Rick told me yesterday that Will and he and some other people I guess want to go to seven springs or something for the skiing.  He also told me that Will doesn’t want any newbies along to slow him down.  I can only assume he means me, maybe among others.  Oh well, it doesn’t really matter this year because I don’t have the money for ski-blading anywhere, and even if I did I’d probably fall and hurt myself again.  This would be bad right before my commercial pilot practical test.  I don’t have the money to even afford rent anymore cause we’re still down one roommate!  So who the fuck knows what’s going to happen!?  It’s so awesome!

Commercial 2 - Done!

I passed my Commercial 2 checkride on friday, which is good news although I would have liked to do better. There are always 2 parts to a checkride, the oral exam and the flying exam. I know, I know, everyone makes jokes at the oral exam. Anyways, the oral part was mostly a joke were we sat there reading some weird legal definitions from part 1 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The flying part was worse. I had never flown with, or even really talked to the instructor I was doing this with. I didn't understand a lot of what he was asking and he mumbled a lot. All that on top of my anxiety and bad decision making and you have one lousy checkride. Still managed to pass and I guess that's all that matters. I hate commercial manuevers. Now I'm flying the retractable landing gear Cessna 172's for Commercial 3 for about a month until my Commercial 3 checkride where I will become a commercial pilot and can be paid to fly.

After that, on friday we went to see Serenity. It was just Rick and Alison and me. It was a really good movie, but they killed some characters I liked. I was hoping another tv network would pick it up, but I don't know if I want to see any more without them. He didn't even need to die. There was no point. But I guess there never is...
