My last week at Ryanair was busy, long, and a tad emotional. I was able to fly with some of my favourite people and on some of my favourite routes. Of course finishing off with a hen and stag party. It really wouldn't of been the same if I'd finished on a dull polish flight. I think I actually miss it a little. A few people recently have asked why I stayed at Ryanair so long. I know Ryanair isn't the best company to work for (hence why I've left) but they've been pretty good to me and I got pretty lucky. I got a transfer when I wanted it, a contract when I needed it, I worked with a ton of amazing and fun people, and I had a heap of great (and not so great) experiences, all if which have changed and shaped me into who I am today. And without Ryanair I'm sure I wouldn't be at bmi now.
Speaking of bmi, I'm now half way through training and finding it exhausting. I don't know how people work mon- fri 9-5:30. Tackling rush hour is driving me crazy (no pun intended) and I can't get anything done during the day. I seriously can't wait to get back in the air, get back on home standbys, and get back to my crazy unsocial work hours where I actually have time to do things. My roster is looking really exciting with routes I've not flown before ... I can't wait. The aircraft I'm going to be working on is tiny though, it's going to take a little while to get used to!!!
It's nearly the end of my maths module and I've been really struggling to plod through and motivate myself. Provided I can pass the exam I will pass the course. I haven't done as well as I've hoped but then it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'm still debating what to enrol for for next year.
Today I got back in the kitchen to make a birthday cake for one of the girls I'm training with. It was fun to do something other than study. I made sure I chose something simple that wouldn't take too much time to make and would hide all the flaws.
