Four Weeks to Go..

Today marks the day, four weeks away from the start of my basic flight training in the States. Between now and then I have to endure a week of solid revision, complete seven exams, partake in some "First Office Fundamental" training, leaving me with a nice week and a half to sort out my life and my suitcases before I leave.

This coming week is already proving to be very very monotonous; many of this phases subjects are skills based exams, rather than fact/figure learning. This means that once you have the skills, there is very little to do. I say this, not because I am being arrogant, but more that the skills aren't that complicated.

The subjects which require repetitive learning of facts/figures can be endured, as the more you practice, the more the figures will become lodged into ones head.

To put things into perspective, I have spent at least three hours today manipulating wind charts to balance drift.

I keep reminding myself of what is to come, after this small sacrifice..
