Back to Business..

Having had the post exam two week break, we started the second phase of Ground School. The remainder of my holiday involved heading over the Bristol to see some friends. I attended a fortified wine tasting and a Black Tie Ball. It ended up being a very expensive two weeks, but when you have been working so hard, it seems worth splashing out, especially when you don't get to go out very often.

Yesterday having arrived back in Oxford I felt completely drained from the previous four nights of drinking and clubbing. It reminded me of my time at university when throughout the days there is very little to do except for turning up to lectures; and the nights are reserved for going out.

Today started the second set of subjects for ground school. With only seven teaching weeks to go, until the final exams it really does seem as though the trip to the States to do the Flight Training part of the course is within reach..!

We have been assigned The Navigator as our tutor for this block of the course. During the briefing with The Chief it was hilarious to see two very senior Ex-RAF servicemen banter. They bantered back and forth very well; mostly about which of them was richer and had the bigger house..!

Classic stuff..
