Flying and other problems...

Here I am yet again at work and with every ounce of my being TRYING to appear busy. I have done all of the work that is really required of me right now and I'm at the "look busy" stage. Anyway, while I sit here I think about several different things that plague my mind at their joy and my expense. First of all is school and the fact that I still haven't been advised yet and if I intend on graduating next spring, this is probably something that I should get done rather quickly. Also along with that is finals, the dreaded tests that teachers recieve their devilish grins from as students literally make themselves sick studying for them.
Next would probably be my first flight and how I can't wait until I get to take another. I have wanted to write a blog about my first flight but it was just so amazing that I really could not find the words that I needed to talk about it. Thank goodness that I was able to pull it off with no one getting hurt or letting the world fall into some sort of catastrophic state. I guess the "hero" came out on top again. It was definetly a place that felt like home and I felt as though a part of me had been reborn. I really don't know what else to say about that flight...it was amazing.
Perhaps the thing weighing the heaviest on my mind right now is a close friend of mine and a fellow fighter. He is like me in a lot of ways yet so different and more negative than I could ever dream of being. He is in a lot of pain and may have to undergo some surgery to fix him and I have to admit that I have been somewhat selfish in the fact that I just don't want to have to do it without him. He's really an important part of what we do. We have all noticed somewhat of an increased negativity in his attitude and this bothers us...a lot. We all have to understand that our REAL jobs come first...before family, school, relationships and everything. That's just how this thing works. We have been called to something bigger and more important than our own selves. I hope he understands that. If anyone at all reads this...please pray for us and for him that I don't throw him through a wall and the other two don't tear his head off. Seriously, pray for him and his problems and us too that the enemy wouldn't be able to get in. Gotta go, hero stuff to do...See you in the clouds...
