Endings, beginnings, and cake!!

Am taking a (few) minutes out of my crazy hectic life to update my blog. Since leaving Ryanair life has been jam packed with training and maths assignments. My brain feels like it's going to explode.
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.
