stellarwindSo anyway, now I'm in a course which is going to involve Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems, because that's mostly what we're going to be repairing. We'll get to deal with all sorts of airplane/helicopter parts. Basically, anything which isn't part of the electric systems... The small but crucial parts like fuel pumps and breaks. Yay.
One of the strangest things about the Air Force's Technical Wing's School Base is a strange anomaly in time which seems to be built into its design. For instance, only there could a watch, synchronized a mere day ago with the accurate time, instantly develop a ten minute delay in the course of one night, said ten minute delay becoming a fifteen-minute delay and then a five-minute delay in a matter of a few hours, and all that without you even touching the blasted watch. Don't ask me. o_O
But with the exception of temporal anomalies and various annoying army things (such as the strange practice of having the officers salute the national flag as it is being raised up a pole, somewhere around midmorning when it gets rather hot, and have everyone else stand there in an order - probably because misery loves company), I've been having quite a fun time so far. The people are great, and it's not THAT bad a course. I don't know if any new friendships may sprout from this, but I'm slowly feeling that I'm getting much more confident around people, which is good, on the whole (since I have the confidence of the average shoe. :P)
But hey, nothing beats being home. ^^
I've managed to draw quite a bit - mostly Rune Artwork, though I DID manage to come up with one of the cutest Bulbasaurs EVER. So that's alright. ^^
Shame my downloads haven't moved bloody anywhere.
Oh yeah. Robin Hobb's "Assasin's Apprentice", the first book of the Farseer Trilogy? IT ROCKS. It's one of the best fantasy books I've read... Got a nice mix of worldbuilding, deep characters, political schemes, dark mysteries... I'm definitely going to start reading part 2 of the trilogy soon.
Yikes... that's one long entry. o_O Best post it, then.
