Last week of school…ever

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

This is my last week of school…ever! But it certainly does not feel like it. So many things to do and graduation still hasn’t sunk in. Fells really weird think that this i the last week ever but on the other side, it feels great! Summer break coming up with so many things planned. I got a job interview next week so we will see how that goes. For now, I am still working on my CFI to try and get it done and hopefully get hired here at school.

Feels weird that I am writing this blog after my last official class as an undergraduate. The class is not over as I still have my final to complete but as far as regular class times, I am done with all of them. I only have one final but it is going to be a hard one. It is for my Personality and Profiling class, coincidentally the one that I got out of this morning. It is going to be very hard final since we tried to learn to construct a criminal profile. It’s a very interesting class and the professor knows a lot, but for me it is hard. We will see how it goes, I want a B in it. Anyways, just wanted to share some thoughts, TTYL.

Derby Days is over :( but we raised $3800!

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

So Derby Days is totally over and we raised a total of $3800 for the John Huntsman Cancer Foundation. We had a nice closing with a nice formal dinner, a Copy Cat competition, and the girls got to do a small pageant. The week was really fun and every brother participated to the fullest. My favorite event, that I got to attend the lat part of it, was the catch-a-sig event on Wednesday night (I couldn’t go because I had the best final ever remember? lol). This event is where girls chase the brothers to try and catch the for points. The team that had the most points accumulated by the end of the week, won $100 towards their team. This year the winner was the Residence Hall Association. Congrats to all who participated. I know I had a great time especially as a judge. Can’t wait until I get to see one as an Alumni, next year.

Best Final Ever

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

So I jut got home from a great final. Yes it’s late but worth it! We had a joint project between my capstone ATC class and the Electronic flight management (EFMS) class. The project was the EFMS class would fly the aircraft as the students in the Air traffic control lab controlled them. We where all hooked up via our very own Embry-Riddle Virtual Airspace (ERVA) so we all were in the same airspace (sort or like an xBox live sort of set up). So what I had to do as a controller was to control aircraft leaving and arriving into Albuquerque. It was stressful at times since you had to sequence the aircraft correctly so they wouldn’t hit each other or the ground. It was the best final I have ever taken. So much fun and the professor is soooo cool. His name is Brent Spencer and he used to work as an Air Traffic Controller for many years and always shares great stories with us while trying to teach us some good points all at the exact same time. It’s a very fun minor. Anyways, it’s late and I just thought I should share that knowledge with you all. TTYL!
