A really exciting thing happend today! It was great! After work I went to fly and I ended up doing a solo flight! Thats a big step in the student pilot world and I finally made it!!! Yay! At first my instructor was in the plane and we did some flight and landings so he could feel comfortable.. then after landing at one point he just hopped out of the plane and he was like... go ahead and make a few take offs and landing on your own. That is really scary at first. Its not like going out and driving a car for the first time by yourself.. with this if you screw it up.. you screw up big time. You can't just stop and pull over. After my first landing though I actually started to ease up a little bit and calm down. It was actually pretty exciting after I made my third landing BY MYSELF!! =o). One thing that was different is having the plane a whole lot lighter because my flight instructor wasn't in there. The controls were a lot more touchy and the plane really zooooms. But in a way, its easier to control because of it too. So anyway that turned out to be a good flight lesson today. Thats one barrier I've moved past. After flying I came back home and did some reading and more organizing of my things here. I kinda just hung out for a bit waiting for a friend to come by because he was going to sleep here tonight. After he arrived I then got him settled in somewhat and I then went shopping. It was time to get some food in this place. I rung up the longest recept I've ever run up at a store before.. this thing is like two feet long. I also had my shopping cart heaping over in all directions.. people kinda looked at me funny it felt like. But now I have food and I hope I don't have to buy groceries for quite awhile. One thing thats kind of annoying about getting an apartment for just the summer is the fact I have to buy lots of things I won't use after these three months. I had to buy pots and pans.. lights.. knifes.. silverware.. you know.. all that "stuff" you need in a house. Then after I move back in the dorm I won't have anything to do with it... it kind of stinks. Oh well.. I need to get to sleep now since I have to wake up at 7:00 tomorrow morning so I can be ready for worship team practice at church.. so I'll say good night!
