I am obsessed with the Olympics. Always watching it every moment I have. When the 2010 games were in Vancouver, it was the same time zone so it was easy to catch events. But with them being in Sochi, the time zones are terrible!
But it doesn't matter, that's where social media comes in. I get to see and read all that is happening right there and then. And when I finally watch the event or the medal ceremony, it doesn't matter that I know the results.
Still love seeing all the greatness that comes with athletes. Yes, there are some heartbreak moments when all that training an athlete does is down to that one performance and something bad happens. That's life.
And those commercials. My goodness. Pulling at every heart string I have.
Kleenex and the tv are my favourite friends until the Olympics end.

Radio License
Woohoo! Got my radio's license today! Thank goodness it's a lifetime license so I don't have to retake the test again.
Allows me to talk to the ground and air towers when flying. I've done it before but under someone else's license. This one is mine. Better get some practices in as I'll probably be going flying soon.
I'm pretty stoked as this is a great transition into my advanced co-pilot class. Will be doing more navigational work and more radio work too.
Though, as much as it is awesome to be able to officially to talk to the different towers, I find it so frightening. The last time I did it, I found it totally nerve wracking. I know the flow and the process to get into the air and to land...but have you ever heard these tower people?! OMG. They talk so fast!!
But better to get as much practice as possible. Only way to learn!
Can't wait to get back into the sky....
