Summer to School

Now back at Purdue where the student population is growing at an epic rate. As more freshmen were admitted than ever before things are looking much more crowded. The journey back to West Lafayette was not too bad and my schedule calls for early mornings, but not as early as back at Hanscom. The days of handling the Embraer Brasilias for Streamline are over for now. It was quite a rush using my motions to conduct engine starts and marshal the aircraft out after arranging the baggage myself. Greeting the passengers and hearing their tales about how this airline fits into their lifestyle and business needs so well is very rewarding too.

I have only one aviation course this semester-Air Transportation. So the focus will be primarily on general studies with Accounting, Physics, Economics and Applied Leadership. It looks like this fall will be a time of new and enjoyable things to embark on. I also hope to get onboard with the Aviation Technology Student Council soon. That is one of many things here to engauge in as an involved undergrad. Looking forward to the start of football season out here, despite more injuries with some of those who we had hoped would carry the team.
