End of Summer

Since I am still stranded in school we are going by the school calendar which means summer is over. We ended summer with a bang though. After returning home from a week in Texas we both went our separate ways. I went north to Wisconsin and Lindsay went south to the Caribbean. Looking back I now see she got the better end of that deal.

I went for some military training for about 11 days. It was a lot of fun and I recieved some valuable insight from 3 pilots that went with us. The weather was great and we thoroughly enjoyed teh 60-70 degree daytime highs. We didn't do much sight seeing....as well there is not much sight to be seen. We did make our way 3 hours across the state to the Mall of America.......not worth it. It's just a big mall. If you don't excited about going to your local mall then you shouldn't get excited about going to that one. It's just bigger and has 3 old navy's instead of 1, as well as many other multiples. The roller coasters in the middle of the mall all seemed to be pretty childish so we didn't waste our money on them.

When we came home from that trip I spent the following two weeks working at the guard base doing odd jobs around there......basically whatever I could to delay going back to Wal-Mart. I started back there on Monday as well. I was ready to quit for good within the first hour of being back. I somehow made it through the first day and the following have been much better. It has turned into a very intense micromanaging enviroment which I can't stand. I think after the first day the managers remembered that it wasn't really my first day, I had just been gone for a month and finally began to let me do what needs to be done without them breathing down my pretty blue shirt.

School should be fun this semester. I have two real estate classes and two finance classes. I can already tell there will be a lot of overlapping information so that should help out. I am also only working 26 hours a week at Wal-Mart and am done by 4:30 mon-fri with weekends off. This semester will be much more enjoyable than the previous 6 years of schooling has been. Most importantly I will not be dealing with ROTC at OU.......That will begin another paragraph...

My time with the pilots in Wisconsin got the wheels spinnin to consider pursuing a pilot career in the guard. Long story short that is what I am now doing. I am no longer in ROTC and am now preparing to apply for a pilot at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base here in OKC. Once I get my degree this December the only thing I will be lacking is some flight time. Turns out I have several connections with flight instructors.....So beginning in January I am going to go full time flight school and get my private pilot certificate (license). Then I want to deploy and make some $$money$$. I will interview for a pilot position in September 2010.

Anyway that's probably enough about me for now. If anyone reads this and wants to know details about Lindsay then you should comment and let her know, because we don't think we really have people that read this thing so she doesn't take the time to update it.

Off to bed now.
