I had my interview at Walgreens yesterday. I've been hired on! I start sometime next week after my drug test results are sent to the store. I won't be working too much at first, but once I'm worked into the schedule, I'll be working about 15 hours a week. Since I'll have a steady income, I will be able to save up for a car and flight instruction. ( Read more... )

Friday I have an interview at Walgreens. I want to work at Walgreens because every single time I go there, it's so laid back. Smooth jazz is playing over the radio, barely anyone is shopping, and the people who are shopping are little old ladies. The employees are just hanging around and taking it easy, and they're getting paid for it. That's my ( Read more... )

My ever-ending quest for a decent, affordable flight school continues on. Let's review:

Embry-Riddle- Complete tuition with room/board and flight fees is some where around $44,000. It's in Florida, so my Bright Futures scholarship should help assuming I get it. My dad is an ERAU alumni, so I have legacy grants and plenty of other scholarships and ( Read more... )

Last night was our band's evaluation. We earned a 2, or an "excellent" rating. It upset a lot of people and I can understand why. But I don't understand why some people took it so hard.

Like Laine said, these evaluations are meant to judge bands based on performanced without bias or outside persuasion. We're not going for a pity rating, we're going ( Read more... )

Damn it, people! Why is there always someone who makes things more difficult than they really have to be. There are always people like that in everything that is done! They piss me off ( Read more... )

Busy.

That's how I describe these past two weeks. Very, very busy! But it's all worth it, and now that I have a weekend with nothing to do, I'll reflect on the past weeks.

On Tuesday (Oct. 17) I had my Eagle Board of Review. I went to the library and three old guys went around and asked me questions. Questions like, "What was your most memorable ( Read more... )

I'm frustrated. Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle and Tyler Stanger, a certified flight instructor from California, accidentally crashed into a high-rise apartment building in New York City on Wednesday.

First of all, this accident was the result of a pilot who was over confident with his abilities, a flight instructor who did not know the capabilities or ( Read more... )

I'm doing a whole lot better compared to Tuesday. A few things here and there, but things are better. We actually talked for a little online on Saturday. I can tell things are going to get better as time goes on.

Hockey season is back! We have all new goalies and a smaller defense, but we started the season with a win in Atlanta. 3-2 in a shootout. ( Read more... )

The start of this week was fantastic! But it went downhill very quickly.

Me and Ally are no longer together, for reasons that I have yet to completely understand. It definitely came out of no where and broadsided me. A lot of things going through my mind.

Life goes on.

On Monday, my dad and I flew to the Daytona Beach campus of Embry-Riddle ( Read more... )
