One project down, about ten thousand to go. The Flying Aggies Fundraising Banquet was a complete success. With very little time, very little money, and very little support from certain individuals who didn't do their job, but will remain nameless, we managed to pull off quite an evening, and I managed to pull off quite the run-on sentence. We had a great speaker, who was an FO for Delta Airlines, and his usual Captain was there as well. Two of the nicest guys you'd ever meet in your life, and both agreed to help us out in any way they could next year. Things are certainly looking up for the Aggies. Among the most interesting thing to me, was how much some of my photos sold for at the banquet. On a whim, I shot a couple shots of our airplanes and enlarged them courtesy of the NASA office on campus. One 24" x 36" framed shot of our Duchess sold for $125. Wow, it's almost like I'm a real photographer. No photo of mine sold for less than $50.
With the banquet out of the way, I can concentrate on the five things I have due this week: A project in Meteorology, a project in Airport Planning, a two day project in aviation management, a quiz in Geology, a CFI checkride with the FAA, and I'm leaving for the National Flight Team competition on Saturday. Hmm... this sucks.
Oh, and for those of you wondering why I didn't want $200 worth of pizza for $20, I've seen this thing before, it's not a good deal. You're limited on what you can buy, when, and you pretty much end up eating pizza twice a day for the next two weeks to get your money's worth out of it.
That's it,
Jeff C.
