Another Phase Comes to a Close...

IN as they call it is now over other than the test Monday. More of the same, not a whole lot to share. Lots of by hand calculating, conversions, plotting, ratios, working with charts (not maps mind you, apparently that's a swear word around here) and various other tasks. Spent all day today reviewing, then reviewing what we reviewed, then reviewing what we should review on our own again before Monday. Insanely boring. This test should be my best shot at 100 so far, as it's mostly problems, and the only way you miss those is by careless mistakes. We'll see what happens.

Big ol party goin on in the quad, celebrating another classes drop night. One of the guys here actually bought a bus, one of those short ones that seats like 10. Literally a yellow school bus. I dunno how legal that is, but he has it decked out with a massive audio system, and has it parked out there just blasting music, pretty good stuff. Finally been getting some beautiful weather, so it has been close to 90 daily and around the 70s at night. Makes for good nighttime running, although I've slacked for a couple days due to a weird sleeping schedule. I've talked to the gf at least once a day via the webcam, which really does wonders for morale. I've always been a morning person anyway, so getting up early to talk during her lunch break works out fine.

Oh and my appointment for my waiver got moved up to June 2nd instead of the 17th, which is now before the June 10th cutoff for me having to be off DNIF status and able to fly. So that's one problem handled, but I'd still have to get the waiver approved and turned around fast enough that it is back here within like a week instead of months like some of them take. So it's still an unknown factor, but it's no longer a sure thing that I'll be rolled. It would be great if I didn't, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
