Today was another long day spent entirely in the classroom. The only saving grace was that The Tux dismissed us early for the final lesson of the day.
I've just spent the past few hours doing a sheet of homework set by The Tiger; it seems to have plagued the entire class, with us having spent longer than the allocated 30 mins on it. There is still alot more to do tonight..!
It was iterated today by one of the instructors, Mr Pilot that we will have to spend the next 6 months trawling through an insurmountable level of information and work just to satisfy the JAA.
He is a true pilot, only interested in "The pilot stuff", not other random information which is of no use in the cockpit..! He is a tall, cynical, experienced character with few words and one who does not suffer fools.
With the workload building up, it is all becoming quite real. The levels of stress are already starting to build and at times it feels like an uphill struggle.
At the same time, the stories told by Mr Pilot and the other instructors remind me of what I am working towards. It all seems worth the effort and this slog in groundschool is definately going to be a display of fortitude and character..
The night has only just begun..
