The approach controller assigned me a transponder code and
told me "after departure remain clear of the class C airspace". So
after I took of, I started flying a route taking me around the class C
area that extended to the surface. Well, the controller then called
me by my tail number and asked some questions (I don't remember
exactly what -- it might have been my expected cruising altitude and
aircraft type, I think he may have also said radar contact, although I
can't remember the specifics right now). As soon as this happened, I
turned and headed directly toward my destination, taking me across the
class C to the surface airspace.
Thank-you.

Sorry to bust you like this, but I think you need to spend a little
more time understanding what your responsibilities are as a Pilot. If
the controller says "Remain clear is Class C" then you stay out of
class C. Jezzzz, What gave you the idea you can violate his
instructions? Hate to say it, but your lack of understanding is why
we are having pilots violate TFR's and other special use airspace. Get
with a instructor and review airspace and the FAR's. Also, tell your
pilot friend that he should have pointed out your mistake. If he was a
CFI, then his ass would also be subject for FAA actions.

Again, sorry to bust you like this. However I feel if you had the
balls to write this obvious lack of judgement in your flying skill,
then you open yourself up to my wrath.
