Weather Day 2

I almost titled this post 'long day', but then I realized that every day for the next LONG TIME is going to be this long or longer. That being said, today was still a long day. I did not get to fly again due to the weather, but I did accomplish an emergency procedures (EP) sim ride, and actually did fairly well on that. Tomorrow we have a big test on local area procedures consisting of 50 multiple choice questions, so I'm going to be putting in a lot of study in the morning for that one. It's 9 right now and I just got home, so I'm planning on going to be before 10 since I'm too tired to learn anything else anyways, and then I'll be up at 6 to get about 3 hours of study in before our first class of the day which will be a 3 hour review session.

And for such a long day I'm running out of things to write about really quickly. Every day is more of the same, it's all spent studying and learning new material and attempting to solidify older material. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting a flight in tomorrow as it will have been a week since my last one. We'll see if I get on the schedule. Time to scrounge up some dinner. Here's something Grandma sent me that I just have to share, it really touched my heart when I read it earlier and I've printed it out and put it on the wall by my calendar next to my door:

Just maybe... we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Just maybe... when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we do not even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Just maybe... it is true that we do not know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Just maybe... the happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Just maybe... the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you cannot go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Just maybe... you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.

Just maybe... there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.

Just maybe... the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you have ever had.

Just maybe... you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Just maybe... you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Just maybe... giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it does not, be content that it grew in yours.

Just maybe... happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.

Just maybe... you should not go for looks; they can deceive; do not go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Just maybe... you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

Just maybe... you should try to live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.
