My roommate Art in white, classmate Luther in blue and some other En Route Controllers

The View From My Bedroom
3 BLOCKS Down and 1 block to go left in basics, then its onto radar. Been moved into Isola Bella for about a week and a half now its really nice here. It costs me 7 dollars more a day but I get free breakfast (eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, usually some other options too) plus free dinner which rotates like pasta, tacos, tons of other good foods, free soda fountain free ice cream, salad bar...Its great here in comparison to the other place. Oh also free maid service (fresh linens and things like sweeping and stuff).
The title of this blog is a quote from my teacher that he got from a coworker who worked under Pres. Truman. These teachers are full of great stories, but unfortunately today was not great story day, it was terrible story day! We are covering emergency situations, we listened to a TON of ATC transmissions with pilots experiencing problems where the ATC was the last person that pilot ever spoke to before he/she AND all their passengers plummeted to there deaths. There were some good ones where the ATC could actually help the pilot or person taking over as pilot and they landed ok. Its crazy how good the controllers are at managing everything and focusing on doing everything they can for the pilot in trouble without so much as breaking tone of voice or exiting standard phraseology.
Anyways nothing really new out of the ordinary, its really just been school and studying down here the last couple weeks. So I'll probably post again if anything interesting happens or after the weekend.
