Distracted Pilots

Northwest Airlines flight 188 recently flew past their destination.  I'm sorry, did they just happen to miss Milwaukee?  Do they not understand that that puts aviation back into a negative light? As if the aviation industry hasn't been hit hard enough since September 11th, 2001.  Laptops in the cockpit, are you stupid?!

Advisors...

My understanding of a college level advisor is that they're here to help college students.  Is that wrong? Because every advisor I've ever been to hasn't given a rat's ass.  Well, guess what. I'm not standing for it anymore.  Too damn bad.  I'm not in the major yet, but the class is restricted to majors only.  Kiss my ass. I've been in your office a minimum of once every two weeks making sure I could get into the major, and then I can't get into my course and you say there's nothing you can do!?! No. That's not how it works.  I've had my application in the works for the last 2 months and you've seen it.  The course opens up to all students in a week you say? Well by then it'll be full! What use is it to me?  Get over yourself and do your damn job.

Times like these

It's the times like these that I really wish I had someone to share it with.  I've realized that I am truly blessed in my life.  I'm attending my dream school, with the most amazing friends anyone could ever ask for.  No, I'm not super concerned with finding someone to date, but it'd be nice.  I know that right now, the most important thing I can do is worry about my school work.  I need "A's" in my classes to pull my GPA back up to where it should be and to get me into the College of Communications.  I realize that no one can be happy all of the time, because if they've never been sad then they have no clue as to what true happiness is.  I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then. 

~Yes I am a pirate, 200 years to late.  The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder, I'm an over forty victim of fate. Arriving too late~

School Spirit

All through high school, I never understood what school spirit truly was.  Our high school had no real rivals.  Sure we had Naples High and Gulf Coast High, but who cared, we didn't choose where we went to school.  Now I've gotten to college and I understand what it truly means to have school spirit.  I'm proud to be a Seminole.  I now know that it takes a bit of personal effort to become part of a college community, (i.e. applying, getting accepted, moving in, etc.) and once you've gone through all of that, most of us wouldn't change it for the world.  I know I wouldn't. 

Go Noles!!

Prams on Platforms

In Australia, a mother had her child in the pram when they entered the train platform.  A pram is what they call a stroller in the UK and Australia.  Well it was a windy day, and the mother was fussing with the pram, and she turned her back for a split second and the pram fell onto the train tracks merely seconds before the train ran through the station. 



It truly is amazing that the child survived.
