Schools out!

Done with A&P, done with Theology. Did really well in A&P training (aircraft maintenance training), top of my class I think. Did decently with Theology I think, though I havent gotten grades for any of my papers, or anything for that matter except for my midterm which I didnt do so well on. I expect I got near perfect grades on my paper but Im just hoping I pass my midterm. I dont do well with tests. They just dont reflect my learning style well. Generaly. There is the professor now and then that has a test that really works with my learning style.

Anyways, Im done with school and all packed up for flying to Houghton, NY, which I do tomorrow morning at 13h35. Gonna be great spending several weeks with the Gallops. Yeah buddy!

life, music, and FAA form 337s

here I sit at my computer. its been a long time since I really said much on here about whats going on in my life. Ive got one week of school left before Christmas break and I fly over to spend Christmas and New Years with the Gallops in Houghton, NY. Oh, what joy. I would put an exclamation mark there but I am listening to classical music (at high volume with a sub-woofer) and it is 11:41 and I really dont feel like it. Anyway, Ive really enjoyed this quarter. my school life consists of one 4 credit hour theology class at Moody Northwest and another 18 of aircraft maintenance at Spokane Community College, per Moody's program set up. Like I said I really enjoyed it. It being mostly the latter 18 credit hours. Not that I dont like theology, though I do tend to shy away from the nit-picking of some of the more "complex" theology because I think that it tends to be beyond what we were meant to understand, therefore we cannot understand it. its just that the professor, while being good, goes too slowly through the material for my liking and all this in 4 hours straight on Friday afternoons. But its still pretty good. I think I have learned most of the theology that I care to learn though. theology meaning what im going to get taught in the next few years in class. no theology in its true meaning as the study of God. what i dont care for is discussing things like whether man is a dichotomy or a trichotomy. anyway, so I like my mechanics training better. Its more hands on. I learn better that way. And it has to do with airplanes so that adds a lot for me. even the FAA's stuff is not too bad when you begin to understand it. Im beginning to feel that I am beginning to become a real mechanic. I am actually learning something useful and something I am really and deeply interested in. In other news, I may begin to admin the Moody Av website. Should be interesting. I'll be doing it with a group but still. The poor thing could use it too. It could certainly use someone better than me though, especially someone on the creative side.
