yo yo...i'm very tired. I slept till 1 sunday and thus i couldn't fall asleep last night. TOday we started Radar Training so now we gettin into the meats and potatoes. Today we did lessons on primary and seconday radar, and worked on piloting controls for the simulator programs
We had an easter party on sunday and we painted eggs and played rock band and played ping pong and Kim's daughter's boyfriends' great dane puppy came and he was so skinny but super cute.
We had an interesting converstaion today with the instructors about pass/fail. As of now the Tower and En Route classes are pass/fail for the final evalauation, whereas the TRACON(wat im in) is pass/pass. The teachers say they don't like the pass fail because everyone has to be treated the same, so they aren't allowed to talk to kids outside of class about anything related unless the whole class is present, and it prevents learning. The really super inspiring instructor that everyone loves was talking to our class during break and said that if it goes back to pass/fail he's quitting, but he also was planning on going back into the field semi soon anyways.
