I'm golden

in

After class yesterday, we headed over to a small little TGIFriday's type restaurant called HiJackers at Flagler Airport and dove right into the Happy Hour spirit. I had a beer and turned red doing so, but I did it in a fashionable one gulp deal. For a non-drinker, "I'm always down"...to an extent. My buddies from SD can support that quotation. Anyhow, we decided afterwards that we had to keep on drinking. We decided to meet later on over at Forrest's House around 8:00pm. Being that I only had one beer, I drove home w/ Laura. She wanted to start our earlier and went to Forrest's house early while Manoj picked me up a little while later.

We dranked, and partied and oh boy, I mean partied. I had around 5 or 6 shots (and I was red once again) and I haven't drank for a while now but I held up just fine. Everyone drank a little bit more and more while I stopped to keep watch.

To make a story short, one of us didn't remember last night and I had to retell the story to her. She kept on telling us that she was "golden" while falling over a couple of times. It was fun and it was good bonding time. Now, on to things more serious.

MORE STUDYING BABY!!! Chapter 3 quiz on Monday and Chapter 2 Reveiw as well. It's all in the fun. Oh yeah, I have to read like 2 more articles too. Man!!!

just an update

in

As the days go by, so does the hours that I have free to write in this thing. But like the promise I made, I will update this Blog at least once a day.

So, for now, I'm reading more articles and PDFs on Aerodynamics and answering the 3 essay questions due tomorrow. I guess they aren't that bad once you do the reading, but as everyone knows me, I just started learning how to read. :-) I also have another quiz on Monday, along with more Chapter 2. To say the least, I only missed one on my quiz today and it was because I was thinking too much. Not cool at all.

Well, I got my Logitech Camera to work with the one I gave to Adelle at home, so I'm happy! I probably spent like about 1.5 hrs on the darn thing, but its really nice to be "together." I dove you!

my classroom

This is where all the madness happens. Today, we go assigned another quiz and then another, then a presentation on Friday, and the questions were moved to Friday, but then we have more due on Monday...the list just keeps on going. It is really crazy! If you look at the board, we're studying aerodynamics and the laptop that is in the front left is me seat! There are four in my indoctrination class which makes us a "crew" and we will be sticking with each other throughout the program. There are about 70 or so students all together and we are separated by the times we started with our peers. Back to studying!

so get this

Today, I have been assigned two quizzes that will be held on this Wednesday and Thursday: The first one of these awesome, amazing quizzes is on a particular book where I only have to study 9-11 pages & the other quiz is from Chapter 3 (which is 80 pages long). I also have to answer 3 more essay type questions (1 page or more per answer)by Thursday and that was just today's given HW. We'll see what I get tomorrow.

Here's some pictures of an awesome plane that landed at our airport (X47). Just click here!

Well, back to studying.
***no matter how busy I am, I will try to post each and every day. or maybe yet...twice!!!***

crazy weekend

in

After getting my assignment I though that this weekend seemed to be a future filled with cramming, I dived into my studies like a champ. Well kind of. I did hesitate and decide to walk around the house a few times, eat junk food, make tea, bake cookies and eat them all, and do a couple of other things, but I did finally sit down. Oh wait, my stupid new HP Pavilion dv1000 acted all weird and I spent A LOT of time restoring it 'my way.' All attributed to AIM or something like that. So now, I'm back on my Powerbook until I feel like installing AIM again on the PC. I hate PC laptops, but you can't win without them. At least it looks cool (not as cool as my Titanium Powerbook).

Everyone has been asking me what I think of the iPod Shuffle. To answer all your questions, its okay. I mean, you need some songs, plug it in, sync some songs and endure the pain of listening to whatever it feels like playing. It's that simple. It's a good toy. I mean, after having a computer full of songs and an iPod full of mp3s, how many of you are really going to listen to every single one of them in one sitting? Answer me! Yeah, yeah, it has no screen, but hey, you have like twice as much battery life. I would buy it at its great price. But I still have to choose between the two.

The new Mac mini is pretty slick. You can dial that into a car and be golden no matter what you drive. Shoot...a pinto with a computer capable of wireless Internet connectivity would be hooked up. I can't wait to see what company goes into this venture. Check out all these new devices at http://www.apple.com/

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I totally stayed up until five-o-clock in the morning the last few night. Now I'm tired. And I was so sluggish yesterday. Jets deserve what they got. They weren't worthy, but then again who am I to say since the Chargers lost to them. Colts just got crapped on. Tramppled....royally. 3 points? Common Manning...you just might have lost that MVP award. I have nothing to say about that one. Go Falcons!!!

east or west?

in

When I first arrived in Florida, my cardinal direction was so thrown off in respect to the water. It seems as if, being from the West Coast, that I should head west to the beach, but not here. It's weird saying to head east to get to the water. I'll just have to get use to it. One of the first days that Adelle and I were here, we decided that it would be awesome if we could just touch the Atlantic. So we did!!! Here is one more pic that was take sometime last week when I still had freetime (January 7th of o-five).
