Update of mega proportions

[nikavia]

So, yes, this may seem my first update in a while but i have backlogged everything without letting if flood my flist. For me, not for you. You didn't miss much. The highlights are thus:
I have 5 classes: Vibrations (vibes), Me314- Dynamics of Machines, Me370- Engineering Material Sciences (Materials), Me360- Design of Machinery, Music appriciation (online course).
I have become manic/depressive and my ocd is getting worse.
I am reading Dresden Files again. I forgot how amazing they were.
I may be getting a new laptop in the near future. That would be awesom but they don't make them like mine anymore.

Now for today:

I have my internship interview this morning at CH2MHill. I think it went well. I had answers that they seemed to like. I never once played with my hair. They seemed to like that I had experience with AutoCAD. I wore very nice clothes. I wore Heels. And a Necklace. And Nice clothes. I smiled, was polite and paid very close attention. But most importantly i survived.

After that I went home, watched me some Stargate Atlantis and waited for my father to come home so we could go on a flight. An Ultralight flight. Lindsay hurt her foot somehow. I think she wil be fine soon.

Then my dad came home, we packed up and headed to Belen. I have been on one Ultralight flight before. It was freezing. But i had a good time. Today would be my second flight and my first where my father described it as being "warm".

I had to sit around for about a 1/2 hour while my dad set up his trike and i played with the cows (by played i mean we stared at each other). I also read Storm Front and things. Then i got suited up and led to the trike and buckled in. It took a bit to start the engine because it got hot but it started up and we taxied up and away.

We started just by flying around the airport until i got used to being high above the ground. There were these cool cracks along the San Jose but we didnt get any picture of them which is unfortunate as I thought they looked like Fractals and things. 
In any case we started just flying around. There was a slight misstep when we realized my helmet was not properly on so dad flew the trike wthout hands while he set it up which was scary as it tended to fly in cicles when left alone and i wasn't quite used to being in the air yet. We then flew near the mesa and...

We then started flying. Really Flying.
We followed the San Jose for a long time, until essentially the pretty scenery ended.



see the house in the picture above? Deserted and they have the most beautiful view. sad.
We then turned south and flew towards what my dad calls the "Caldron of Hell" because it looks like it's on fire under the right light.
The northern part of the Caldron

You can see the wing
And the Southern Part of the Caldron


We then headed out into this valley, where there were horses


We then flew East and flew over a meditation circle that someone had built

i got to fly the Trike for a bit. It was awesome but surprisingly hard to control.
We flew over Belen High

We then saw a beautiful sunset

and we landed

And that was it. I left alot out obviously but we don't have pictures of everything. there were deep pools and low flights and then there were pronghorns.

My dad and me with the Caldron in the background.
 

Anyway, that is my life. Now to stay on top of this for a bit

THAT IS SO FUCKING AWESOME. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY YOU HATE YOUR LIFE ANYMORE BECAUSE I KNOW NOBODY ELSE WHO GETS TO FLY AROUND WITH THEIR DAD AND SEE COOL SHIT LIKE THAT.
