Matthew 6:33
In preparation for the hardest week of the training, I've been camping out with my flight manual in random places. You won't hear from me much this week. They have killed several small trees just in the manual and workbook they have given me.
There was a lot of excitement as we have the 6 main ones open for us. We don't know how many spots are allocated for each and it goes by seniority level. I am 36/60. We have until Monday to choose and after a lot of thinking, praying and tears, I FINALLY have my order!
I have at least 40 pages of notes for my emergency procedures test on Tuesday. We have five exams this week with two of them being the hardest ones in the training. I have also learned how to evacuate a plane and will be tested on that this week as well. I put up a poster in our room (secured by band aids), to help us study.
By the end of the week, I should be certified on the MD-80.
In recap of last week... Our instructors danced around the room on Thursday and pulled up the projector screen and on the board was the list of our available bases!
1. ORD- Chicago
2. DFW- Dallas
3. MIA- Miami
4. DCA- Washington DC
5. LGA- New York City
6. LAX- Los Angeles
I will be in one of those 6 cities!
Dan has been beyond helpful in helping me make this decision. We have a plan for my top two-- I'm praying to be placed where God wants me to be.
Our instructors make the learning fun, but it is a lot of information. I also learned how to fight fires last week.
I DID take one evening off (otherwise, I was going to explode), and went out to The Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Dallas. The food was great and the company much needed.
On an amazing note... Dan should be visiting soon! Happiest person in the world. I just need to make it through this week. Apparently 22 people failed the test in a previous class and some went home. I'm studying hard, but still appreciate your prayers and kind words.
