Hey Everyone!
So today turned out to be the warmest since I moved down here. I am not positive how warm it actually got, but apparently it felt like 106 out. Basically, while I walked from my car to my office I started sweating enough to leave marks on my shirt. Not a good thing. On the other hand, I took the first test of many in the path to becoming a Flight Controller. This test was one of those "You have to pass it or you can't move on for at least another 3 months" kind of test. Talk about pressure. But it turned out ok in the end. I got two questions wrong, but they were in completely different areas. On top of that, they were questions that almost everyone got wrong too. Basically, it means that those answers weren't really taught to us that well. Oh well. Tomorrow will be kind of cool, too. We are going on several facilities tours. Once that is done with, we have our "graduation" ceremony for passing this class. Then, on Wednesday we start the second phase of the training. Unfortunately, that is the phase that is supposed to be the hardest and most annoying. But when that phase is done, I should know a fair bit about the Station and the Shuttle. And I will be able to start working on things that actually matter to my group. From there, I should take around 9-10 months to get to my first certification to work on Console. Suffice it to say, I think that things are starting to work out the way that I want them to.
That's about all for now.
Ciao.
