Week of Books

Upon returning home I opened up my books to prepare myself for my upcoming stage check, as well as keep things as fresh in my head as humanly possible.  The next morning my nose was completely stuffed and my ears were constantly popping so I thought it would be best if I did not go fly to avoid any possibility of my head exploding while in the air.  I kept the books cracked open and the next day my head cold was no better or worse.  After this I stopped being put on the schedule.  I called my instructor to find out what was up.  Apparently when a student calls in sick two days in  a row they must call their instructor to state they are feeling better to get put back in the rotation.  So… I did.

The next day came and I was not on the schedule.  I called my instructor again who said he would call in and call me back with the word.  I never got that phone call.  I called in myself to scheduling to find out my instructor was on vacation and when they tried to put me on the schedule it would not allow them to.  Ok…  so… where was the phone call to ME asking me for what was up?!  FINALLY I get an email that I will be up and flying again this coming Monday… but with a different instructor.  This should be interesting.  I have only flown with a few other instructors and even though they are good… they are not MY instructor.  One particular instructor was really good, but was a smoker and it stunk up the cabin to the point where I could not concentrate on the tasks at hand.  Somehow I miraculously passed the standards and went on to the next lesson.  We shall see how this plays out on Monday.

Happy New Year to All!!  And Go Chargers!!!
