Lot's Of Work To Do

I’m having difficulties keeping up with everything I’m doing right now.

I know, I’m only taking two and a quarter classes right now, but  have the two full classes four times a week. This means that I have to get the assigned work done immediately. I can’t really spread it out over two days. This creates the four hour reading sessions like the one I posted about in my last post, and also means assignments come in thick and fast.

I really don’t mind these intense workloads. I really don’t, but they do mean that I don’t have a whole lot of time to socialise with my friends, or to have time for adventures. Of course, all that means is that there isn’t a whole lot of things happening that I can post on this blog. I will continue posting, but there won’t always be ground-breaking things to say.

Though I still have entertaining things to talk about.

One of the things that we have to do for our aviation training is learning what to do when things don’t go as planned. On of these things that don’t go as planned is, of course, crashing in the middle of no where.

So we spend a week learning about wilderness survival.

We try to replicate the worst possible conditions, which means in the middle of no where, in winter, with minimal food for a few days.

From what I understand, we will go to a camp west of here where we will spend a day or two learning how to make shelters, fire, etc, then we go off to the middle of no where, and have to survive for five days with only one change of clothes, a sleeping bag, therma rest, and not much food. I’m not to worried, I just need to buy the necessary clothes to stay warm, but not everyone is in the same boat.

This is gonna be fun. I can’t wait.
