Counting Down the Days

It’s been a while since my last post and that’s because it’s been a very busy couple of weeks for me. Everything has been moving pretty quickly in terms of school work, and we currently only have 2 days left of Ground School; well the classroom side of it anyway! On the left is my last ever Ground School timetable! Our School Finals are Tuesday and Wednesday next week, and my main priority at the moment is revision for those  exams. Most subjects we have now finished, so we have had a lot more time to revise than we did for Phase 1 where we finished classes the day before exams. So far, all the practice tests I have been trying my hand at have been very positive, and I hope to get through these exams without too much of a problem, though much hard work is still needed.

We are also progressing further towards Arizona – after our trip to the US Embassy our Visas have now arrived, and we have completed all our fingerprinting which means everything is now cleared for our entry into America. Though there has been a bit of trouble with BA cabin crew strikes and the Icelandic volcano, we are all hoping that neither of those will affect our flights. It is very hard to concentrate on exams when all I want to do is start prepping for America, I have a lot of shopping to do for ‘desert’ clothes!

Mum and Dad also came up for a visit a few weekends ago which was nice. We spent a day wandering around Oxford and also found a few good places to eat in the evenings.
