Default Rant

I wish I was flying more... My instructor is not giving me &*&#*@& for launches because he has 9 students. He wants me to try not to get frustrated while he finishes up the guys who are very close from being done with there flying.

Meanwhile, I am getting nervous because I am on lesson 13/30 and I do not have THAT much of a head start on the guys who are just starting up 102 this semester.

My instructor is filling me in on Sunday. I got weathered on Thursday. I have not flown since my solo on December 9th. So how well do you think my attempt at lesson 13 will go while I attempt to dust off the rust?

I can stand the -15 weather. I can stand the sucky town of Grand Forks. I can stand being 1500 miles away from my girl friend as long as I felt those sacrifices were worth being able to fly a ton. But guess what, I feel I have barely flown since being here with many interruptions in between.

I do not know about you but I personally learn a lot better when I am constantly practicing. I feel as if I am reading about living the dream on JetCareers and how XYZ has gone from no flight experience to American Eagle in only 2 years rather then living the dream myself.

Bad Weather + Limiting CFI = Not much Flight experience.

Solutions:

A) Sunday after my flight, Tell CFI how I feel and either he can fly as much as I want or I find someone else hoping I do not burn a bridge. (He is a good guy)

B) Finish up my private and transfer to a school where I can fly at an FBO. Find some guy who wants to fly every other day. Become a part time CFI well before I finish college. Moving at a faster pace then at ND.

C) Be patient. Wait things out. Things will get better.
