Greetings from Grand Forks

JaceTheAce · August 13th, 2004, 12:06

Well, I made it here. The 2,000 mile trek from San Diego, CA to Grand Forks, ND went very well. Driving a full Budget truck with my car towed behind it was a b*tch though. I just kept the pedal floored so that it'd maintain 75 MPH through those long and boring stretches into east Montana and North Dakota. Man, that I-94 is bare! There's nothing out there for miles.

I moved here without having been to GF prior. I am lucky that I like the town and school. The aviation facilities at UND are really nice. I can't wait 'til my classes start.

If you want a tour today of anything I'd be glad to help you out. Did you decide where you are living for the semester? Glad to have more people here, ttyl

Enders · August 13th, 2004, 18:34

Right on. I'm starting my 1700 mile trek tomorrow with all my crap stuffed in the trunk of my car. Should be there in the next few days. I'm guessing you're living off campus? I'm in Walsh. Anyone have anything to say about this dorm?

AngelFuree · August 13th, 2004, 18:38

Hey Jace, how's it going?
If you're around the area, let me know. It'd be cool to meet ya.

AngelFuree · August 13th, 2004, 18:39

Are you back Lucas?
I thought you were in Las Vegas? ttyl.

I got back on Sunday. Got hired as a CFI here on Tuesday, and finished up the standz ride yesterday.

I can't believe I'll get paid to do this stuff. It's great!

Thanks Lucas... I sorta would like a tour... are you free on Monday??? I think everything's closed by now. So I did decide to live at Legacy Apts...since Warehouse and Freighthouse Apartments have a 2.5 year waiting list. I couldn't find any other apartment complex that was decent enough for the price. If I don't like Legacy I'll just discontinue the lease in 1 year.

Where you working? And I live in Legacy too, what building are you in?

pm if you want to, I am in the new one with underground parking (yellow building).

CAFFEINE · August 15th, 2004, 03:05

Howdy fellow UND JCers. I too am driving back to Grand Forks (from Alaska) currently someplace in the middle of nowhere BC, Canada. 1200 miles down, about 1800 more to go! I also will live in Legacy apts, in the building with underground parking.

Awesome... now the new building with underground parking, is that one with all the one-bedrooms??? I'm in the 2600 building in a two-bed/two-bath and we don't have underground parking. It has a 2-car garage, which is nice...but hopefully it won't be to hard on the car in the cold 40-below mornings.

So do you still miss home?!!!

What have you been up to Chris? Haven't seen you in a while. I bet you can't wait for another semester of this crap to start like the most of us.

later

Enders · August 18th, 2004, 18:04

Woo, that was a fun little trip. Anyone else in Walsh?

ohossain31 · August 21st, 2004, 14:43

So have you seen any hot girls at UND?

August 21st, 2004, 17:24

The scenery for the year is looking promising from what I can tell so far. Was out last night and saw a lot of good looking girls.

UAL747400 · August 21st, 2004, 18:02

Hell yeah there's hot girls up here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anybody in mcvey. I'm in one of those "special" suites with airconditioning. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm actually bored out of my mind right now. Probly going to have to go outside and make some noise or destroy something.

Tom

UAL747400 · August 21st, 2004, 18:07

Of course I'm just a freshman too, dont know all the hang outs yet. I just want to fly. Nice day for crosswinds huh?

Tom

roundout · August 21st, 2004, 23:21

it woulda been a good day to try some of the 'required' crosswind landings.

i hope everyone is looking forward to flying courses in the fall. UND's made a LOT of changes for the upcoming semester. the quality of training should be significantly better after we work out all the kinks getting people transferred from old editions of TCOs to the new ones, etc..

lucas, if you're watching this thread, have you called your students yet? only one of mine has a number on crewlink but the other i found via stalkernet (student directory). i went and got my black tie and black pants today.....damn clothes are gonna offset the first paycheck [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spin2.gif[/img]

Icelandair · August 22nd, 2004, 00:29

don't forget to get a polo shirt for Fridays [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

roundout · August 22nd, 2004, 00:30

like i can afford that on part-time pay. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] i'm not even gonna be able to pay deb the $1 to wear jeans on denim day.

Icelandair · August 22nd, 2004, 12:01

lol yea hurry up and graduate now

yeah I still miss home. I didnt get to go home this time becasue I didnt get assigned a stage pilot soon enough. The one that I have right now is taking her sweet time to do everything. I cannot wait to get this done. One flight away...

No more aviation courses for you I guess. Congrats on getting hired!
