Busy Semester

Picture of Grand Forks from above

So I have pretty much failed at trying to write a new post every few weeks.  However, in my defense I have been super busy this last month, probably the busiest I can ever remember.  Like I mentioned in my last post, I decided to take 19 credits this Fall.  The workload finally hit me a few weeks ago and my life now only consists of flying, working, and school.  The reason I have taken so long to write a new entry is because when I can actually relax from everything else I'm doing, I want to use that time to just chill and not worry about anything else.  This last week was easier so I now have time to write a much needed post.

Grand Forks International Airport

Flying this semester has been one of my favorite parts of being back at school!  I am in the instrument course which means I'm currently learning all of my training to be able to fly into clouds and only rely on my instruments in front of me.  It proposes a new kind of challenge because all of my training thus far has been visual reference to the ground.  Now that I am getting my instrument training, I will have the ability of being able to fly in both the clouds and visual weather.  I am about 80% done with my training this semester as well, so I should hopefully be done with flying by the end of October/early November!

Not much to really see....

One thing I also forgot to mention in my first post is my new living arrangements and who I'm staying with this year.  I have been living in my fraternity with my roommate, Nick.  We have been getting along really well and we are both equally clean so our room has stayed in great condition.  Living in the house has already brought me so many more memories and I am happy with my decision to live here this year.  There are ups and downs for sure but overall a great place to live, much better than the dorms.

Having my car up here this year is such an awesome addition.  I no longer have to walk to the shuttle to get out to the airport and I can go and get groceries whenever I want.  Last year was very tough when it came to going to stores because I always had to bum a ride off someone.  This year is much easier and I'm glad I brought my car to Grand Forks. Now I just hope she makes it through the winter....

Hopefully I don't make the same mistake of waiting over a month to post something new.  There is always something to talk about so I will try to be better about writing.  For those of you that read my blog last year, I am going to Kansas City again in a few weeks so I hope to post something then!

Snow :/

Oh and last thing....it snowed today.  This could be another long winter....
