Spring break week is supposed to mean a week off, right? Apparently I missed that one. I've been staying busy playing catch up, working on the class I teach, as well as assignments for my own classes. The big project right now is a lovely paper on how airports try to keep airplanes from hitting birds and other critters. So exciting, right?
Next week everyone comes back to campus, so things will go back to their normal level of chaos. I've got 3 flight students at the moment, James, Paul, and Andrew. James is working on his private pilot certificate, so when he gets back to campus, he'll be doing a few solo flights to other airports. Paul is working on his instrument rating, just finishing it up, so hopefully before long I'll be on here writing about how I'm so happy he passed his checkride. My newest student is Andrew. He's working on his flight instructor certificate, which means LOTS of time spent talking on the ground to make sure he knows everything and knows how to teach... not much flying involved there.
In other news, I actually had a job interview! It's kinda tricky to find a good job lately, but I found one. It's with a company called Air Associates of Kansas, to do aerial mapping flights. I'm super excited because it sounds like a great job, and from what one of my friends tells me (who works there) it's an excellent place to work too. I made it through the first round of interviews, so now I'm just waiting to get a call for a second interview, and then we'll see what happens after that!
But for now, it's 11:30 at night, so I'm gonna head for bed, so tomorrow I can get some major work done on this paper I need to write! Adios!
