Mixed feelings

Next Thursday we PV. I’m nervous. Monday and Tuesday I felt pretty good about pushing tin on LC and GC. LC is the tougher position. Wednesday was a set back. The instructor on my last LC run - I dread working with him. He doesn’t shut up. He’s the only instructor that I can say that I don’t gain anything from when we pair up. Infact, its a set back. Wednesdays problem was manageable but the 4 guys in the pattern really screwed me up and about half the class. If you are able to stay on top of it and know the correct sequence of your pattern traffic, you probably did ok on the problem.
Next week we are on Days again. yay. Monday and Tuesday we run regular senarios and on Wednesday we run a senario that is similar to the PV. The problems this week were much busier traffic wise than what the PV will be. Though there will be less traffic in the PV, the PV does cover most of the major points. This includes wake turbulence, intersection departures, crossing runway departure, getting a vehicle across the 2 runways, coordination between LC and GC, separation, execution of phraseology, and other stuff.
Well, time to get ready for class, again. Getting to bed at 130-2a every night and waking up at 12p actually sucks. In that respect, I prefer day shifts because I have more usable time.
