Man o man, another long day.
The problem with training is that you’re learning systems you’ve never used before, procedures which are foreign and you’ve got to find ways to manage your time and study effectively.
This morning, I got up at 0600, studied until about 1030, took a shower, had lunch, class from 1200 to 1630, took about a 30 minute break to grab a coffee, BACK to the training center. Then we did procedures and failures from 1700 until 2030 and even though I’m dog tired, I need to review materials for the practice oral starting at 0800.
So basically in order to get a full 7 or 8 hours of sleep, I need to pretty much hit the sack NOW. But then I’ve got a lot of systems material to try to hone my knowledge of systems and procedures so I don’t look like a dumbass in class during the final systems review and I haven’t had a chance to have a bite to eat.
Welcome to my world! 
The big challenge is that the training materials say learn certain systems, but then each individual ground school instructors says, “Nah, that’s not right, learn THIS instead” but then it changes the next day yet again. So the safe method is simply trying to learn everything.
So tonight, I’ll review materials, powerpoint presentations on my laptop and attempt to get a few hours of sleep before class at 0800 tomorrow.
The systems oral is in two days so it’s pretty much down to the wire.
