1 down, 3 to go!

week one of training is finally over!


I have learned soooo much, but there is still LOTS to learn.


This week was primarily classroom lectures with the exception of some simulations and exercises. For the most part, all of the material is new to me, so I am genuinely interested. At times, however, I catch myself yawning and looking at the clock every 5 minutes! But, our instructor has assured us that week one is the worst and things start picking up from here on out!



A new class of flight attendants graduated today and got their wings! They were so excited and look amazing in the uniforms! It was a great little motivator to get us through our long day.

Our second big test is next Tuesday and I think my class is going to try to get together and study this weekend. I am going out of town for a friends birthday, but I am hoping they will call and invite me!

My class is so fun! I really like all of the girls; there are several really sweet women who are maternal to the younger ones. The boys are hilarious. They were especially funny during security training today...


Today, a big time martial arts/ex cop/ex military/chuck norris taught our class of dainty tiny girls and prissy boys how to take down terrorists in the cabin aisle. Needless to say, I was not the best, but I really held my own! 5'3 didn't help me against the gigantic dummy, but i smacked the heck out of that thing. It was cool though because we practiced getting out of our jump seats quickly and getting into the position to fight the bad guys. Those rowdy passengers better watch out...


more flight school details to follow!
