Blog one.
ive learned people have a hard time tracking what ive been up to, switching phones numbers constantly, changing schools numerous times, or even where i happen to be living this month. haha. my sister suggested this and think its a good idea, no more wondering about vincent ramsey, ive got this.
its september 11th 2010, actually september 12th now, its past midnight. im not sure how blogs work but ive got a lot on my mind so i might as well get it all out somehow. i will be very informal in my writing, thats how it should be. since this is number one ill start with the basics and details can come later.
i am a christian and love my God, thats the basis of everything in my life. i do not want to get into all that just on my first blog so that can wait.
second, my "still supporting" family is pretty incredible. ill get into the details of that later as well. i seem to have become a pretty complex guy, after being such a simple minded child.
lastly, airplanes. a passion that sprang upon me quickly and hasnt seem to let me go yet. that brings me to where i am now, my dorm room.
I want to start from where i am now.
things have happened since ive been here but i want to start from where i am now. things have happened that were horrible just so i could get here, but i want to start from where i am now. relationships were busted, feelings were hurt, and friends lost to get here, but i want to start from where i am now. lastly, an unbelievable effort was made to get me here, dedication and determination were my weapons, and the chance to find out who truly had my happiness at heart became evident, but i want to start from where i am now.
SO where is where i am now?
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. the most advanced and elaborate flight school in the nation. located in daytona beach florida and having just over 70 personal aircraft for student pilots, im loving it. not just a flight school but a university as well, i am majoring in Aeronautical Science, or what i like to call "Flying 101". sure it may cost the same as buying a small home, or 7 mercedes benz's, or even my own new plane! not to mention the 16 to one guy girl ratio, its painful. but i take pride in what my degree will say when i am finished.
Exactly what im doing
im set up on a pre planned system to gain my private pilots license, it consists of oral lessons, simulator lessons (not just any simulator lessons), and actual flights. Ive flown myself with an instructor twice now and have just at 4 hours logged. now these four hours were not just four hours in an airplane flying, they were the four most glorious, unbelievable, and refreshing hours of my life. with thousands more to come.
i wont go on too long since this is blog one, i plan on getting into how i am feeling from day to day and the events that happen. of course ill update you on each flight and how it felt. theres still so much more to tell. theres campus life, missing my friends and family, the infamous "whiskey 3" boys (which is my dorm floor) weve become sort of celebrities here at school, and also the people i meet along with new adventures.
hakuna matata.
