God's Middle Name is Weekend

This whole past week gave a new meaning to thank God it's Friday. We've been here for a week, and it seems like forever. It's been a fun week, and the weekend is going to be mostly studying, but I'm so glad to be able to SLEEP IN.

Today we started by going over homework. More foot stomping there, so I have a pretty good idea of what's going to be on my first test on Company Indoctrination. We then watched an hour long video on how to read approach charts. This was kind of redundant for me, cause this is the very stuff that I've been teaching my students at UND for the last 2 years.

After lunch we finally got our badges, so now we can jumpseat on almost any airline, anywhere. If I wanted to go to France for the weekend now, I could! For free! Kinda cool huh?

During the last part of class we broke up into groups and went with different instructors to make sure we were learning our flows properly. That was kinda fun, our instructor was really cool and knowledgable.

After class, a bunch of us went out for some really authentic mexican at this really hole in the wall place called the Red Iguana. It was really good and we knew it would be once we got there cause there was a line going out the door to get in! There were seven of us there, but only one five seat car, so some of us got left while the others were driven back. We decided not to wait for the person to come back so we started to walk back the hotel. It started to rain just a little bit on the way back, biut it didn't last long. After the rain there was the coolest double rainbow!

When we got back to the hotel, we all piled into my room and watched a movie. Doesn't really matter how late we stay up, cause we can sleep in tomorrow! Praise the Lord!
