white rice

training is everything everyone had told me about.  the hours are long, the information is dense, there are exams daily, and sleep is a luxury.  despite all the hardship, i am enjoying every minute of it!  it is overwhelming time to time but i know i can do this!  the instructors were right to say to take it day by day because their training is a well-oiled machine by now.  it will all make sense in the end.  also, i'm very simple minded so it helps that i don't over analyze things haha.

to save money, i've been packing home lunch from my mom's restaurant.  i get restaurant style food everyday (but it's cold because i don't have microwave safe containers), but there's white rice in every meal.  this is the most white rice i've eaten in months and it's only been ONE week.  something is wrong.  i think i'm going to buy my own bag of brown rice for my mom to make.  classroom life is very sedentary so i need to watch what i eat before i balloon up and become my own flotation device...sigh.

you really cannot judge others because some of my classmates are party animals...who knew?!

dress the part

yesterday, i went to the pre-training meeting.  my class is FOBulous.  not even kidding.  i think 80% of the are born in a foreign country.  no biggie because they're all really cool.  i got my training uniform and today i did my real uniform fitting.  it's amazing.  i felt like a real FA after trying on their blue uniforms.  i can't wait!

i need to practice doing my hair.  apparently, a hair net is needed if the hair is to be tied into a bun.  crap.  i think i'm gonna cut it all off.  one less thing to worry about! 

today, i bought myself some coach glasses!  yup, GLASSES not sunglasses!  i feel so...sharp.  i don't plan to wear them often because my vision is still pretty decent so we'll see if it was worth the $120 investment hehe

pre-training jitters

i just received my welcome packet for training.  reading it through scares the shit out of me.  the expectations are high and any failures could result in my dismissal.  the terminology alone is intense.  thank goodness i've been working at the airport because i am familiar with some of them if it's word by word, i better study harder.  i know i can do this!  i have my heart, mind, and soul set for this.

finally!

happy august!

after four tries, i have finally gotten into training for hawaiian airlines!  it didn't feel real until i passed my language test.  once i got the email with the good news (and i did pretty darn well), i couldn't contain my excitement.  i hope this will be the start of the rest of my life...

i was reading some of my past blogs and it blows my mind how much i used to work!  i knew i worked a lot but i don't think i could work as much as i did about four years ago haha. 

as of late, i got bumped back down in the seniority list at the sheraton.  my coworker decided to transfer back, no one even knew she could do that!  pretty lame but at the same time, i will be off to bigger and better things.  mostly night shifts and doubles for me again...joy.  i could use the money, however, because once i start training, i will have no income for the next couple of months.

i have no idea how people can party every weekend.  after one weekend of partying, i am seriously partied out.  i cant wait to spend my weekend relaxing with havoc...totally not a cat lady!!!
