Almost Friday

Just got back from my Aerodynamics Exam and it was Rough! I was sweating it pretty bad, used a whole piece of scratch paper and had like 11 questions written down that i was pretty unsure about (out of 47). Somehow I came away with 44/47 for a 94, definitely got lucky on a few! I'm definitely glad that ones done with, and the fact that this week is almost done with.

Tomorrow I have at least one sim ride where we go over the entire checklist and get a feeling where all the buttons are along with some of the challenge questions required. These are certain phrases you have to memorize and repeat to the instructor, basically ensuring that he accomplished his portion of the checklist items which are also located in the back seat, where he sits. Then it's a bunch of computer-assisted instruction on Flying Fundamentals and Emergency Procedures. The Flying Fundamentals is the next class I have, I call it a class but it's only one day of instruction (Monday) then the test is on Tues. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me - but supposedly they do care and want us to pass (if you say so...)

If I don't get on here tomorrow, wish me a good weekend in San Antonio with Josh, Aaron aaaaaaand Megan! She's coming down for the week and leaving Labor Day, so that's definitely exciting. And if I fail my flying fundamentals exam I can blame it on her :)
