Wensdays

Student first solo... I hate student first solo's. They never go as planned and you truly don't know WTF is going to happen.

Then a student failed a stage check. And he had his check ride scheduled for Friday. And he is leaving a week from Friday back to Alaska. I hate my life...

Went home for lunch, and got a short nap.

Then I taught PPL groundschool. This is somewhat depressing, but somewhat uplifting. The students study a little, but they really don't know the material. I wish I could scream "JUST LEARN THE MATERIAL BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MEMORIZE IT ANYWAY".

4 hours billed, at work from 8 AM - 11AM and 2PM - 9:30PM. Welcome to the CFI world, get paid for half the time you are at work...

WHen I took ground school, it was the same way! Tina would ask questions, and everyone would look at each other blankly. I figured, "I need to know this, to pass the written, and I PAID FOR THIS CLASS" so I was usually the one with the answers. I even helped a buddy of mine review for the written and couldn't believe some of the questions he didn't know. If you'd studied, or even taken some practice exams, you start to see the same questions....

LOL, I thought I was gonna get beaten up after class.

And I totally nailed the written.
