Has it been two months?

Has it been two months since my last post? Holy small airplanes, Batman!

So, here's a laundry list of why I haven't posted in two months:

Trip to visit UVA Darden Business School, Wharton Business School, Duke Fuqua Business School: Complete
Two weeks at sea monitoring an exercise: Complete
Trip to visit Harvard Business School: Complete
Harvard Application: Done, no response to date
Wharton Application: Done, no response to date
One week trip to Japan for a conference: Complete
UVA Application: Done, no response to date
Duke Application: Finished last night!!!

I have now managed to finish all of my business school applications! Thank God. They were a ton of work, but I hope I get into at least one school on my list (keeping my fingers crossed for UVA and Harvard). As we work our way through the B-school process, you may see more posts in here about B-school stuff. I'll primarily try to stay focused on the flying.

I have managed to sneak in a little bit of flying. Weekend before last, I got 0.8 hrs on Saturday doing pattern proficiency at KMYF, on Sunday I got 1.6 hrs of night proficiency at KMYF and KSDM. I haven't logged a cross-country hour in over two months, so my goal of getting 35 hours of XC PIC before I start my Instrument rating keeps getting pushed back. I need to get this thing banged out before I quit my job and become a student again. The Chief Photographer will be going back east for a few weeks this month, so during my temporary bachelorhood I am going to try and get some long XC trips in to rack up those hours. By the way, if you know of your favorite $100 hamburger place in the Phoenix area, do let me know.

That's it for now.

Cheers,
BC
