I have been home from school for a little over 2 weeks and still haven’t gone flying. I have canceled 2 flights because of weather, and whenver the weather is good, it seems the airplane I want to take up is either booked, or broken. The airplane is pretty nice, but at 136/hr isn’t very nice to my wallet. Paying 136/hr for a 172 just isn’t cool. I seriously want to go flying. If I went flying I would probably have some cool stories to tell, but for now I just have some lame complaining to do!

I currently am attending the University of North Dakota, and am majoring in Commercial Aviation. I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and probably will end up leaving UND. It makes me feel kind of sad to be leaving that University, but I also feel better about my new plans. I will be using this next semester to iron out my plans for the short-term future. In the long run I will probably end up in the same place, but I want to enjoy the Journey along the way. I have enjoyed the time with the friends I have made at UND and will make sure to make the best of the time I will have left in ND with them. It always stinks to leave good friends behind, but aviation is a very handy career choice… I can visit for free I suppose… eventually.
