I have not flown in a very long time. The last time I went up I had a poor flight experience. I hadn't flown in several months and my instructor wasn't very helpful while we were in the air. I understand why an instructor doesn't help while in the air, so both he and the student can asses the skills of student and areas on improvement can be identified and worked on, but after more than 30 minutes of this I believe it is time to stop and not allow the student to have a negative experience. The whole thing made me question if I was doing the right thing and if I should continue my flight lessons.
With all the complications and happenings that surround the birth of my third child and having to work a lot of weekends, I decided to put off flying until after the school semester started. School would put the whole house into a routine and the family would be in a very structured rhythm. This would create some normalcy and lead back to flying regularly. School has started, the routine is in place and normalcy is coming back and as it appears the stars will align and everything be OK, the car breaks!
And not the 'Oh, it is broken and I can get what I need from the parts store and have it fixed by Monday". It is the 'It may cost more than the car is worth to make it drive-able again' broke. So after spending hours researching the problem and fixes on the internet, I am working on fixing it. If all goes well, it should be fixed by this weekend.
I still need to take the FAA written exam, which I should be able to test locally, versus having to drive to Tallahassee to take the test. I need to study for that but between the birth, school (for the children), college (for me), work, and the car breaking, I can say I haven't spent the time I had hoped to on it.
