im so apprehensive to call Delta becuase who knows, there may be another one coming and BAM! im stuck here for another week. this is too frustrating for me.

i know this hurricane season is the worst in a long time, but ERAU should consider chaning their academic calendar so that we start at the end of september and finish at the end of june, or earlier. my friends go to UCLA and they, as well as all the other UCs [except berkely] start at the end of the september and finish at the end of june. though they are on a quarter system at least it allows the storm to pass through and less evacuation and money spent.

well, that was a rant caused by load of crap.


btw, did u change your plane ticket already?!

At least you guys are gettng frequent flier miles [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Is it just me, or do you think the university was premature in making this decision? The forecast tracks take it nowhere near DAB, and we will have to work our asses off even more to catch up.

I'm just sitting here laughing my ass off at all the DAB pilots who think they're such hot stuff because they decided to go to the "better" school. Other than PRC that is.

Not calling you guys that, I feel for you, I really do. But there are some real a-holes at that school.

We get plenty at PRC, too. I think it's really funny actually, due to the high number of people here that shouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of an airplane. I've observed probably 10-15 times on ERAU aircraft, and once I was impressed. Once.

i agree with the post regarding the premature decision to evac DAB for this next week. i understand the concern, but the decision was made two days ago and in that amount of time they could have been a little more patient. now, it is nowhere near DAB and avoids a large portion of FL. i guess there's nothing we can do about it now, but im practically doing independent study. and midterms are in how many weeks?!

oh well, see you all next weekend.

Yeah it's sort of hard to teach yourself physics and calculus....I do hope that we have a more involved study program when we get back.

Physics wasn't too bad, but luckily you don't have to take Cal through distance learning. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Care to explain the propogation of light and how sunlight radiates down through vectors because of the non-oscilliatory nature of light in the y-axis?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Didn't say it was an in-depth class, but it worked. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] After I passed the final, I pretty much cleansed myself of "things I'll never need again except for Jeopardy questions."

There's already a problem there: physicists don't know whether light is a wave or a particle, so it'd be nice to know that before you were going to figure out how it propogated itself.

Back to my hole...
