Title: Life so far and getting back in the space shuttle..uhh...simulator
Post by: JLM on July 14, 2011, 09:27:12 AM
Well, it has nearly been almost 6-8 months since my last post, not this one. I recently have graduated high school and got a lot dough for graduation, generous friends and family. Recently, I bought a new bicycle-a Schwinn Trail Way Hybrid, had to tweak it but it works like a dream. I have been trying to lead a healthy lifestyle-drinking plenty of water and recently going on a 40 mile bike ride with my cousin. I also had to move out of my house, me and my family are living in a rental home-it's alright. But on a more tragic note, the day school was finished for the underclassmen (seniors leave two weeks early) a friend of mine was killed in a car accident along with my brother's friend who was in the passenger seat. :'(

Recently, I just started on mission STS-47 in the game and forgot what I was missing-the challenge and just plain addicting fun of operating the space shuttle. I even thought about officially retiring from the virtual astronaut corps. But I'm having second doubts.

So anyway, how is everyone doing on the forum?

JLM,

Life is a roller coaster: once you're up, next you're down. The only thing left is to enjoy the ride.

Successful people are chronic optimists.

Welcome back.

Thanks everyone,

I'm happy for graduating now, but just around the bend are an i***t boss, taxes, and stress.-I'm looking at the picture on one of my many graduation cards.
