As my eyes opened this morning, I was really hoping that my body hadn't adapted to the early wakeup times this past week. I was glad to see that it hadn't, and that it was 9 o'clock. Sweeeeeet.
Pretty much rolled out of bed and went over to my computer and started some studying. I've been highlighting and starring the things in the powerpoints and the homework that our instructor has been telling us we "might see again." I've put them all on a word document to help me focus on those ones better. I got that mostly done, and I ended up with about 60 items. It's a 50 question test, so that sounds about right to me. I continued to study my flows, which SkyWest has made easier for us by giving us a program that we can use on our computer to help train. The program brings up a picture of the cockpit, and you can tell it which checklist you want to do. It then allows you to go and click on the buttons and it will tell you whether you're right or wrong. Those two things took up most of the afternoon, though in there I did manage to cook some breakfast (eggs over easy, didn't even break to yolk, and an english muffin) and take a shower.
About 4ish or so, one of the people who was over last night, (Stefanie) called to say that she and her roommate (Cindy) were going to go to a place called Thanksgiving Point. (Cindy has a car) So Jason, my roommate and sim partner, Cindy, Stefanie and I all rolled down there. It was about 20 minutes south of the city via I-15. On the way down, we saw about 10 people parachuting all at the same time. It was pretty cool to see tham all there, and they were pretty close together too! You'll never catch me doing that. I fly airplanes, not jump out of them.
Anyway, Thanksgiving Point is this little area off the interstate with a bunch of shops, a couple of gardens, a small petting zoo and a restaurant. We were going to eat at the restaurant, but entrees started at 20 bucks buck and went up VERY steeply from there. Needless to say, it was a little out of out price range. (Go to www.thanksgivingpoint.com for more info)
Cindy had driven around downtown Salt Lake before, and new of a area where there were alot of restaurants, so we decided to head down there. It's a really cool little area, with shops, food, horsedrawn carriage rides, and a bunch of other stuff. It looked really new, and we found out it had been built for the Winter Olympics that were held there a number of years ago. We decided to go to a sushi place called the Happy Sumo. Well, the girls wanted to go there, Jason and I just kinda went along for the ride. I should say right now that I'm not a big fan of fish, especially the raw kind, but having never having had sushi before, I thought what the heck. It actually turned out to not be too bad! There were a few that I liked, a few that I didn't like. The web address for the place is www.happysumosushi.com. Click on their MENU tab, and we had the Playboy roll, Baja roll, Vegas roll, Firecracker roll, Yummy Tuna roll, and the Marz roll. The Vegas roll was my favorite. After I'm done writing this, I think I'm gonna go over my flows one more time, then watch some tv and call it a night. Tomorrow's gonna be a full day of the books, so I might as well enjoy my time away from them while I can!
