Sitting at the Airport in Phoenix
It has been a long weekend, waiting for the results from all my essays from the last class. I have started the next class which is about my resume, video, Power Point presentation. It should be pretty easy then my last class, Marketing, Economics and Quantitative Analysis.
I need to sit down and make a plan of action to get this finished these classes, I also have to call Financial Aid tomorrow and see what is up with my paperwork. Get my ducks in a row.
Tomorrow they have me going to Detroit with 30 hours there so I am going to try and see a few people, some studying, and of course exercise.
Which that has been part of the changes that have happened lately, I have to get over that hump of commitment (life style change). I am hoping that muscle memory comes back quickly to get me near to back where I was years ago.
A lot of things in my life are having to go back to basics.
On a different note, I really don’t like sitting here at the airport, I would discuss about it but is better if I don’t.
Kauai, Hawaii
Yes it is a beautiful place, and being here is great.
But yesterday how we go here is long, especially for passengers. Sitting at the airport they called us out for a trip to Lihiue. I was hoping to be head home and study instead I was flying 7 hours to Kauai.
Not the usual flight since it was 7 hours late, so our stay is a short 22hours which we have to sleep twice in that time.
So my studying is cut, chopped up and since I am flying all night again when I get home in the morning I’ll have to sleep for a few so I can have my wits about me to study.
Time to leave for the flight..
I Been Working on my Essay all Day
We got in early from Charlotte, since we didn’t have to go to Philadelphia today. Our flights were cancelled because of the snow back east.
I heard that there was a lot of cancelations today by all the airlines, plus many more delays at airports across the NorthEast. I’m glad that I got to avoid it all. Our flight was easy filled mostly non-revs that couldn’t get on other flights.
After getting back here I went got my haircut then straight to the coffee shop to study.
9 hours later I am just about to start my first draft. I need to get this done tonight but I am tired. I have been up since 1:30 a.m. Phoenix time so my brain is getting a little dead.
I got put on Stand-by C tomorrow, so at least I have the morning to work on the essay.
It is now pushing Midnight so I guess I need to quit get some sleep and start fresh in the morning.
Sitting at the Airport in Phoenix
After getting into Phoenix at noon, I went to have some lunch since I wasn’t on-call till 3:00 p.m.
Using up the first 7 hours of my day just to get into Phoenix, I went to my friends house after lunch. Checking my schedule I see that scheduling has gave me a 4 day trip one of the ones that was in open time yesterday that they had already assigned to some. Guess someone else did not want to work.
So back to the airport, I don’t have to be there till 6:50 p.m., but I will take my time.
Sitting upstairs at the airport in Phoenix looking out the window which you can see a lot of the airport plus miles of Phoenix and Scottsdale the storm is moving in.
Within a few moments the skies changed and it is down pouring with rain, SO, DELAYS, DELAYS. You know how weather effects everything.
The cloud cover is low (low ceiling, as some would say) so that will effect the landings and takeoffs of the aircraft. ATC (Air Traffic Control) will space the aircraft out for safety which in turn causes delays.
Snowball effect.
Right now it doesn’t look to bad for the rain.
So I get to go to Dallas, Texas it is a nice 4 day especially since I can get up in the mornings exercise, and study. Best thing is that it isn’t a 4:00 a.m van time.
Ah the little luxuries in Life.
More after I arrive in Dallas.
The flight was easy and quiet, after arriving in Dallas we get the long hotel van ride.
Then Party, seems like there are a few parties going on through out the hotel, and one in the room next to me. So I hope that sleep will come easy and I won’t be bother to much.
I want to get up easy and exercise then study…so till tomorrow night.
Day 8 Incredible
Yes it has been 8 days since my last good serious post, instead of tidbits of information. I mostly haven’t posted because I have been crazy with listening to these Skillsoft lessons made by Wharton School of Business.
I am writing now because I should and the Skillsoft lessons took a dump, it always has been stopping, like most university or programs for universities it is built on old technology. Pearsons says you need to use Internet Explore 6.0, come on, that is so out dated.
So I was surprise to read that Pearson has announced an iPad reader app

which is good because what they have now is just doesn’t cut it in the world of online education.
Also all these publishers need to get a clue about charging $110.00 for an online digital copy of a text book.
As I have been doing homework trying to finish this class, I have signed up for the Apple iPhone and iPad developers SDK. I got some great ideas, that maybe I can make an app out of.
So I am going to get some sleep I have tomorrow to be able to really get some work done.
