Through an Android's Eyes

Ask me anything   About Me   

'Ey! I'm Monica, student pilot extraordinaire, amateur writer, and professional procrastinator. I'm 21 years old and hail from the wilderness called Canada. This blog may contain: Daft Punk, airplanes, ranting, bad writing, girlish freakouts, and Bond: James Bond. Don't say you haven't been warned.

today is one of my best friends birthdays and to celebrate I spammed his Facebook wall with badly edited photos 

tomorrow this isn’t going to seem as funny is it

whoneedsfeminism:

I need feminism because:
- The first reaction of people when I tell them I’m a pilot should NOT be “Good for you!” I get this from both men and women. The male pilots do not get this reaction, I’ve asked. 
- I should not be mistaken for a stewardess when I am already sitting in the Captains seat! 
- In a company of 70+ pilots, there are 6 women, and I was the only woman in my commercial pilot training course.

why celsius/centigrade is better than fahrenehenheit

  • easier to spell
  • all water below 0 is ice. easy and logical
  • all water above 100 is steam. easy and logical
  • if it’s 1 degree outside one day and 10 degrees the next you can literally say it’s 10x warmer and you aren’t even exaggerating

why farhenininheniehenhet is better than centigrate/celsius

  • it isn’t

Want to get fit? DO THIS every morning.

  • next time you want a cookie, eat a fruit.
  • need some chocolate? switch to dark, its way healthier!

small changes make a huge difference, you can do it!

Stop thinking about it, you’re wasting your time. JUST DO IT

This looks like a good way to get in some quick exercise! I usually do 40 squats and then 1 minute of planks, but this is a nice way to exercise other parts too

This is nice and all, but what part of ‘college student’ makes you think I have the goddamn time for this?

People actually do this on a regular basis? My whole body hurts and I didn’t even manage to finish :(

Woke up feeling amazing today. Checked the weather for the day, and it seemed it would be clear. My last few flights have been cancelled due to poor weather so I was really antsy to get into the air.

Arrive at the airport a little late, fill out my pre-flight sheet, grab the keys and head out. The aircraft was due for a 100hr inspection, and I had 1 hour of air time to squeeze in some solo circuits. Some lockwiring was missing from the elevator trim tab, setting me back a bit, but I was hopeful. 

Everything gets fixed, aircraft gets fueled up, I throw my stuff in the back and climb in.

As if on cue, suddenly the sky south of the airport turns grey. The ceiling drops. It begins to snow. I begin to cry inside and climb back out.

IT’S EIGHT DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE

Normally I’m not this excited but I kid you not there is about three feet of snow in my patio preventing me from even being able to open the gate. Our recycling bins were frozen to the ground the last time we could even reach them. IT’S BEEN COLD.

Now we’ve got a high pressure system overhead, almost no winds, and it’s sunny and just gorgeous out. I had a morning flight, which could not have gone better. Did a few solo circuits and my landings were awesome. 


Soon all this snow will be gone…soon…

So I saw the picture of Taylor Swift on Jessie’s body and thought “I’m not gonna regret this” and pressed play. 

I didn’t.
