Aaaaah such a good weekend. Flying in the snow was absolutely fantastic. Too bad it only happens once a year in England. Gatwick may not have felt like sending any of their planes out but we sure did.


Took many pictures that day!



...

Oh wow, yesterday I got a copy of the picture that the photographer took of me after my first solo flight in march. I'll never forget that day

I've been gliding for a while now but yesterday was particularly fun.

Had my 19th birthday yesterday and it was fun

So far I have the following lectures:

-Calculus: It's ok but rather basic. So far we are just reviewing what we learned many many years ago which is rather tedious but It is calculus after all so I'm sure it'll pick up and eventually get complicated enough to melt your brain.

-Real analysis: Well it's what the name says. It sounds like a down to earth...
