A Gaggle of... Flight Attendants?

Well, "wannabe flight attendants" is more correct.

Monday morning, the day of my ATG (Aircraft Technical and General) exam. About 10 minutes before we received our exam papers, the exam room was invaded by at least 12 flight attendant hopefuls that were writing their exams with us. I think they arrived on a bus, because they all randomly appeared at the same time.

Unfortunately some found the task of finding the desk with their name on it to be far too challenging, and resorted to wandering around the room (which isn't that big) looking lost. Hmmm, lets hope they know where to find the exits on the aircraft they might end up working on...

Wednesday morning (aka today). Flight Planning exam. I'm tired; I only fell asleep at 0230 this morning. I think it's because I only had dessert for supper (melon and ice-cream, yum), so it was my body's way of punishing me for not eating a real meal.

But anyway, I arrived an hour early and sat in the car jamming to Alanis Morissette. Okay, not jamming, I could barely stay awake. In fact, the only things keeping me awake was the smell of car fumes, and the sounds of Golden Arrow buses rumbling past me.

I somehow managed to resist the calls of sleep while writing my exam (amazing, seeing as the chairs we get now are sooo comfortable), and I finished the paper with time to spare.

Lets hope that I can tick another two subjects off the list :)

Now, it's time for me to pack. I somehow need to fit 50 million Avex books, as well as some clothes in a bag, and keep the weight under 25kg. Where am I going? Namibia.

Stay safe everyone.
