I want to start the first blog of this new curse making an explanation of the English matter structure. It's quite easy. Every week you will have news about me cause this year I must do a blog entry per week. That means a lot of things but the best one is to have frequent contact with you!
So let's start. Last week was a little bit special because we went to the flight simulator cockpit of the Boeing 737NG. We were like "children in a bakery" or something like that hahaha. The reason to be there was a practice. It consisted of starting the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) and the engines. That was the first and last practice in the cockpit, I'm sad hahaha. Obviously, we did many things but as I said this one was the best one. In theoric, classes are another situation. In another blog I said that we start our day at 07:30 GMT and trust me, it's too early. From Monday to Friday. I'm trying my best hahaha. In my free time, the situation changed. I started to study because in 21 days I have the first exam in the curse. It's the module 7. It's one of the biggest exams and this one is especially hard because normally we only do a test, but this one has the test and two written questions. In addition, to pass the written ones is required to pass both at the same time, that means: if you pass just one, you don't pass anyone. That scares me a lot. We asked for the exams program and nowadays we only have a "pre" program. No official. I'm not sure if the next sentence exists in English but in Spanish we say; nothing is less". I now that you understand me. Unintentionally I talked about this week, so let's continue.
This week it's being a little bit hard. The column of the matter is very heavy. In the morning we listen for four hours of all the new lessons and in the afternoon around 3 hours of study. I use to go walking over my hood or anywhere because be in a room stresses me. This situation will live with me another four weeks until the module 7 exam and module 3. Give me all your energy please hahaha. In class, we are doing the ATA (Air Transport Association of America) number 36. All the knowledge about the Pneumatic system. Fortunately, it's easier than the Electric one, trust me. The electric one is a headache. Too many systems require electric supply. The Pneumatic is very very important but it's shorter too. In one of the practice, we must remove the hydraulic reservoir. And as you can see...YES, It seems like I'm doing contortionism. It was very very uncomfortable. I started to sweat a lot because the place was very little and I was making a lot of force to stay in a relatively good position to unscrew a bolt that was situated in an angle where it was impossible to see for me. Literally, my fingers worked as eyes. In addition, using the rattle, someone confuses the diameter of the bolt and gave me a wrong one. After many attempts, I realize that the rattle was wrong and finally I got the good one. That situation taught me a good lesson because it refreshed me that in this world, most of the repairs must be done in an uncomfortable position. And that's all for this week! Thanks again for your support and see you soon.
