A Bit Disappointing

A Radical Alternative to College

Writing to you from Denver, Colorado

This past week was a bit demoralizing.

I only managed to get one flight in (1.4 hours) even though I had 4 flights scheduled. Weather was a factor in most of it and my instructor had the flu, which are things that obviously aren’t in my control.

However, what was most demoralizing was what happened on the last day I was supposed to fly…

The flight was scheduled from 6am to 8am and my instructor said that he would be feeling good enough to fly the day before. I woke up at 4:30am and sent the instructor a text message, “Are we still good to go for the flight this morning.”

Didn’t hear anything. So, I got ready and drove to the flight school. Still heard nothing all the way up until 6am when I texted him again, “Hey, I’m at the flight school, but I don’t see you here. Did the flight get cancelled?”

He called me two minutes later saying that he had kept snoozing his alarm, had just woken up, and that the visibility was too bad to fly.
