The end is near...

Can't believe that I've been here for almost 3 weeks. Seems like such a short period of time...

Yesterday was a pretty normal day, we went to class, got a presentation on the flight control system I think. (Yes, I was paying attention, but all these days of systems tend to run together.) We had our emergency equipment test, which was fill in the blank before lunch. This test involved naming very specifically where all the emergency equipment was in the airplane. Not to brag, but I got 100%, and out of the 7 100%s there were in the class, mine and another guy's were the "most correct." So that was pretty cool. Went to lunch, had some more systems, then did our flows test. Again, flows are just the order that we push and pull all the switches and knobs when we are operating the aircraft. Some of them are pretty short, others are very long and involved. I did that, and the guy who was doing them was really cool. I went into a room where they had a mock-up of the cockpit, and he just told me which flow he wanted to see. I did them and he said that they were great, and didn't see anything wrong with them. That was pretty sweet too. Last night was kind of a gong show, cause a bunch of us got together to do homework, and we got that done, but not much else. That's ok though, cause we had two tests that day. We deserved a break right?

Today was much of the same, more systems, though today was out last day of those. Friday and Monday are mostly review days with a few other housekeeping things in between. Tonight a couple of us are getting together to study, though it's going to be a MUCH smaller group than last night. Not sure what the weekend will bring, but it's good that there's only one more test left before I get a little break! That will be awesome!
