Only one week of classes left before the Christmas holidays! Should be travelling home on the 23rd, though at what time does depend on how nice our teachers are that day. The European students are leaving midday as they have flights to catch, which only leaves a few of us there, so hopefully we should get a half day too! Not feeling too well at the moment, have a bit of a sore throat that's probably developing into a cold, so the break will be appreciated! It's very hard to concentrate in the evenings when you feel so rough!
I was lucky enough to take a ride in the back of one of Oxford's 737 sims today. A friend of a Damien's has a check ride for Ryanair coming up and so was doing some practice in one of the sims with Damien as his partner, and I got to fly jump seat! Was great fun seeing one of those amazing pieces of kit in action (and being handled by 'pro's'!), though it just makes me want to skip ahead the year I have to wait before I can get in one again!
Ground school is going okay, the volume of work is constant, and with our first exams coming up after Christmas the pressure is really on to do well. Looks like that week off is going to turn into a working week, but never mind...
