I've really been an epic fail at this whole blogging thing. I have it on my Safari dashboard and its always sitting there taunting me to write, but I never seem to get around to it. All I can do is try harder I guess.

Life has been both good and bad lately. After school ended this semester I went on a 3 week tour with my College Singers group to England and Scotland. It was everything I hoped it would be, and I loved every minute of it. There were some sad times though. Literally the morning after we arrived in London, I got a call from my father giving me the news that my Grandmother had died. I had known that she was ill before I left but was kind of expecting that she would get better. I felt really bad, my Dad had told me about a week before we left that I should go and see her before soon, and I tried to arrange to get out to Edmonton, but things just didn't work out schedule wise. I'm really kind of sad that I didn't make that particular trip, because I didn't get to say goodbye. I subsequently missed the funeral as well, but my Aunt Laura and my Dad both told me to stay on tour, and that Grandma had wanted me to go. When I got back from tour I went straight to Edmonton and spent some time up there to heal with my family.

On other topics...I wrote my Commercial written exam and Partialled! I was kind of pissed about that. I missed it the straight pass by one question. I have since spent days reviewing Air Law, and have decided that it is the most boring thing about aviation. I'm planning on writing the partial next week.

I think that largely brings me up to date for now. Maybe I'll fill in the larger blanks a bit later.
