  1. who is going to be out there on friday? I have class till 2 here in melbourne, then will head up for the festivities for the evening!
  2. repeated 2, 3, and 5. Just keep at it! :) Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  3. First jump on my 18th birthday-- October 9th, 2001. So technically I've been in the sport a bit over five years, but I had to quit for two years or so while I've been in college and just started back up again last year. I graduate this May--- weekend warrior, here I come!!
  4. Hey.... thanks to everybody at Nationals. I got to meet tons of cool people and did some great skydives. For the U-Conn bus that made it over to Z-hills with us after the comp-- damn, you guys are cool and I can't wait to party with ya again! Congrats to all the medal winners. Best of luck next year to all you guys!
  5. well... you can try DC++ or some other program to get a cracked version of it. But that would be stealing.... kinda.... and of course I legally can't tell you to go get that program and use it to get norton. Of course I wouldn't know anything about this, which is why I'm telling you about it..... Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

  7. here's my tri 135 :) Luckily I had a good landing day on Sunday and happened to land next to my boyfriend with his camera helmet on.... trust me, this never happens. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  8. does anybody know the competition schedule? Like what events are on what days? I'm only doing two events and I'm sure I don't have to be out there the whole seven days. I'm local right over in melbourne and I'm going to head home the days where I'm not in the events, so just wonderin' if anybody knew anything. btw... who's camping and who's staying in a hotel? I dunno which to do! Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  9. does anybody else have the problem of not being able to wear contacts because of an astigmatism?? I have been through a million trial pairs and NOTHING ever feels good. Right away it feels bad-- they get really dry, constant feeling of needing to get something out of my eye (they never settle in and "get used to them"), and most move around every time I blink causing my vision to get fuzzy with every blink and I need to concentrate to refocus them. I put myself through the torture to wear them for a day of jumping, but I stick them in right before the 1st jump, and I'm taking them out before my gear is even off from the last jump of the day. Anybody else have this problem or am I a freak?? My sister has much worse vision than me and astigmatism and she's fine in her contacts. Just figured I would ask since the topic of vision came up a bit. Sorry for the thread hijack. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

  11. I have one more final on Friday-- and my hardest one to boot for my dynamic meteorology class. I'm jealous-- it seems like everybody else is done!!! I can't wait to be done on friday, get drunk on friday night, and jumps my nay-nays off all weekend!!!!!!
  12. People make fun of all the psychology and business majors at my school becuase they take easy classes and get out of here in four years. so yes....you are lucky you're not in engineering classes. Next semester will be my second time taking thermodynamics. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  13. I'll have an Aviation Meteorology degree in May. Pros: I get to say that I'm a weather girl!! There are deskjobs which can be boring, but with meteorology stuff its changing all the time so you're always on your toes-- especially when forecasting for an airline or something. Cons: a meteorologists schedule is similar to a doctors schedule. We're 24 hours a day 7 days a week-- weather never stops. So, have to work day shifts and all night shifts when forecasting.

  14. Thats almost as funny and the town in Pennsylvania. "Middlesex" and "Intercourse". I dont have pictures of them..but they exist!Quote I used to work for the national weather service in Philadelphia-- middlesex and intercourse were the ongoing joke in the office. Everytime somebody had to put out a special forecast for one of those areas the town name had to be shouted very loudly and laughed at. I think there is also a "uranus" in New York state somewhere.

    STS-116 . . .

    the launch looked beautiful here from the space coast! Night launches are just gorgeous from any brevard county beach if you get a chance to experience it. I don't have any pictures from this one though :( anybody else get a chance to see it who isn't local? I heard people as farth north as virginia saw it last night.

  16. The serial number??? huh? Don't know nothin' about that, but I know which ones he wears. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  17. Florida Tech in da hizzouussseee!!! ha.. I'm so bad at being ghetto. Just me going from my school though-- everybody else had to go home for xmas. For you guys coming in from up north-- you'll love it here! The weather's been warm except for yesterday and today; hopefully it'll be nice the week of the comp!
  18. and it's exactly the same when talking about sex! Mature people do what they can to make sex safer and mature people do what they can to skydive safely. But then again people can argue what 'mature' exactly is. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  19. I agree...I personally hate it. I think they are trying to bite off of firefox too much. If I wanted firefox I would download it. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  20. Well.... Florida Tech or Florida Institute of Technology on the shirt-- whatever you guys like or will fit! Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  21. Mmmmm....lunch. I'm going to pick up some sushi on the way from class to my internship today. Now you just reminded me how hungry I am!! Dammit! Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  22. My finals aren't for another two weeks, but it's crunch time with the last scheduled regular exams and the 4 papers/ 1 presentation that is due this week. 1 18 page paper is down, presentation is this tues, and other papers are due next week. The week after that I have 5 finals, with three of them all in one day!! god help me! good luck to everybody else studying! Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
  23. Hmmm.... my thanksgiving is going to be pretty untraditional. I'm a student in FL and usually just stay here for thanksgiving since the break is so short, but I broke down and agreed to fly home to Jersey for two days where my parents want to go down to the casino's in Atlantic City and have thursday dinner down there. They are getting older, all the kids are out of the house, and they just don't want to deal with the hassle of dinner and dishes I guess. I'm sure gonna miss a traditional dinner, though!
