I'm now in the middle of Week 10, and can't entirely believe that it's been that long - it's one of those crazy time-distortion things, where the time has flown by, and yet we feel like we've been here forever.
Progress Test 1, otherwise known as the Week 9 Exams, were (surprise, surprise) last week, and were somewhat nerve-wracking, but I did fine in them - passed everything, with a 90.75% average. Very pleased with the result - if I can average over 90% on the JAA exams I'll be extremely happy indeed - the pass mark is 75%, but most airlines are looking for 85% generally.
In other news, the school has cottoned on to my vague tendency to hide behind a camera at every opportunity, and is gratefully taking off me photos of the school's aircraft for publicity use - something I'm very happy to help them with.
There is currently talk about getting some air-to-air work done, which would be fantastic, just for the experience. We'll see how that one goes.
In these photographic endeavours I have been ably assisted by a fellow student and expert photoshopper, Mike.
Things coming up: for Easter (when I get Good Friday off) my parents, sister and girlfriend will be joining me for the weekend and we'll be doing many fun touristy things.
I'm rather looking forward to getting away for a while - there's a concept round here of Blue Gate Fever (referring to the main gates to the campus, and how if you haven't left them in a while you can start to wonder if there really is a world out there) and the potential for going stir-crazy is considerable.
That ought to do the trick for now. I hearby promise to try and update this more often - hopefully at least once a week - and to try and say more interesting things...
Before I go, one quick plug, for the travel blog of two friends of mine. Enjoy!
Should clarify: photos are mine, edited and photoshopped to perfection by Mike...
