Quote for the Day: "We're from the FAA, and we're not happy until you're not happy."
Commercial license test coming up soon, and I have no idea how I'm going to do. I know that I know everything and can do everything I need to do to pass, I just have trouble doing it with an authority figure standing there looking over my shoulder just waiting for me to make a mistake or even trying to TRICK me into making a mistake. And the educational system of studying one thing until you're good enough at it before moving onto the next thing just SO contradicts my abstract learning style. I would so much prefer to just live at the airport, train 40 hours a week for a year, and then take four days of intensive testing. But instead, yet AGAIN I find myself slamming face-first into a wall of people who aren't as smart as me but possess the authority to completely block the forward progress of my life every time I come up with a perfectly legitamate idea that's just WAY over their head, or interpret what they say literally instead of the unspoken way in which they meant it and are accustomed to everyone else taking it.
I thought I'd finally be safe from all that in the aviation industry, and I could be, if only I could get past the damn test examiners!!!

I just recently have been researching flying lessons and I really want to do it... but it is SO expensive and unfortunately my credit is shot. But there's like ten flight schools near me by the Van Nuys airport and I REALLY would love to learn to fly... I envy you!
