Hello all  Wink

Haven't posted in here in awhile or anywhere for the most part. Senior year for me has been real busy especially with getting all my college stuff and finishing sports. Don't think I don't miss all you guys  Sad ....besides BigTruck since were friends on FB  Grin Wink jk Justin.

Anyways thought I'd start getting back into all of your lives. I applied to 7 college's at the end of last year.... (Embry Riddle, University of North Dakota, Kent State University, Rocky Mountain College, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Illinois University, and Western Michigan University) got accepted to 6 and denied to MTSU. All to major in (of course) Aeronautical Science. Ended up narrowing my search down and made a final decision of Rocky Mountain College (in Billings, Montana) just because I liked a smaller private school and they gave me a good chunk of scholarship money and financial aid. Sorry Jordan I won't be flying with you at Kent.  Undecided It was pretty hard deciding which school to go to but glad I picked Rocky.

In other news, decided I'm going to get my PPL this summer!! I found out it would save me about $4000 or so to do it at my local flight school than the college and it'd give me a head start on school. I'm starting next week then June and July will be full time, my local airport flight school say's they shouldn't have any problem getting a PPL in that time as long as I put my mindset to it. I also got my college schedule and everything this weekend so I pretty much now HAVE to get my PPL over summer since I'll be getting my Instrument Rating in the fall semester. My flight block at the school is 5-7:30 PM because they fly the Private Pilot's in the day, so I'll be flying everyday with a sunset or even at night Cheesy. Although I won't have a huge schedule my first semester only went with 13 credit hours which is what the school advised me to do so I can figure out how to adjust to college especially since I'll be flying and playing on the golf team. Not sure if any of you guys have heard of Rocky Mountain College, although it won't surprise me if you haven't because it's an extremely small private school.

Just thought I'd say hello again to everyone....that is if anyone remembers me  Grin.... I will not be doing any Navy or military ROTC though. If anyone does remember awhile ago I was really looking into that. Just wanna go straight into commercial aviation. Soon enough I'll finally be able to say I'm a real pilot....not a sim pilot.  Cool Grin Grin

Thanks for reading!

Here's a look at my first semester schedule!!

When I went to Florida State I had to walk 5 miles through the snow to get to class.

And each way was uphill.

Good luck, students.

About the schedule, yeah I am a senior in aeronautical engineering. Hell does not begin to describe it.

I loved WMU! Although I narrowed it down by cost and out of state tuition cost at WMU was around $36k I believe, which is already more than the school I'm going to. Also the airport is so far from the school.  Shocked
