Update (as in, In Other News, a Helicopter Crashes into a Lake. Details at 11.)

As some of you know I have been waiting for the flight school to get a replacement helicopter to replace the one that was crashed during the early morning hours of July 4th.  The replacement arrived about a week ago and I have been able to fly again.  I started school this week and have not had much free time.

A lot has been going on the past three weeks between semesters.  I thought I was going to get a nice break to relax, but it didn't happen.  I will post about my most recent flight in a few days (hopefully before I fly again this Sunday).  After I get school lined out so I do not miss any assignments I will write up last week's flight.

I have a full course load this semester; the classes don't appear to be too hard or challenging.  The real challenge is remembering and recalling all the new information I need for the tests and such.  I am also studying for the written portion of the private pilot exam.  It is important to score well on this test because the (check-ride) examiner judges you on your score, I am told the higher the score, the nicer the examiner is.  It may also help me get a job in the future.
