Delay.light / Delay.flex

Today was the day of our last theoretical course (Airframes & systems 1), so from now one, I'll be spending time reviewing all the books again and preparing for the final exams. Somehow it's a pitty that those courses come to an and, Although it was sometimes a hard time, getting up at those early mornings, all day long courses and studying in the evening ... . But now it will be quit boring, sitting at home studying. God thanks it's only a few months ... ! But afterwards, we'll have a nice time in Arizona :-)

But on the other hand, all of us were looking forward to leave for Arizona asap. We'll see how it goes ... . The exams of group B will start in the week of the 23th of june instead of the 3th of june, and end in the week of the 12th of july. To be confirmed. I'm wondering when that will be ... .
