Word of the Day: 抹茶

Yet another Friday where I make my way to the library to help the German man with his helicopter book. I am pretty low energy right now so I am not confident that I can work on this with him today

Key Aspects of the Oral Exam:

Not just memorization:

The oral exam goes beyond simply recalling facts. Examiners want to see if you understand the "why" behind the rules, procedures, and aircraft systems.

Scenario-based questions:

You'll be presented with scenarios and asked how you would handle them, demonstrating your ability to apply your knowledge in a practical way.

Focus on safety and professional judgment:

Examiners are evaluating your decision-making skills and ability to prioritize safety in various situations.

Flexibility and critical thinking:

You'll need to be able to think on your feet, analyze situations, and explain your reasoning to the examine

Well, I guess it is good that I am asking him all the questions I am asking him. I thought I was being annoying asking all the different engine scenarios but I guess my overly cautious nature is perfect for this scenario.

The thing that I am worried about is not knowing how to help him with the things he doesn't know so it is hard to supplement his learning I am sure he is doing with an actual flight tutor.

He came late today so I thought maybe he didn't want to show up but he said he had a night flight for his test so perhaps that was the reason.

I was talking about this whole set up to a few people but I wonder if it was the right thing, perhaps I should've made it a bit more private but, I mean I am not ashamed of what I am doing and since I offered to stop today, but he wanted to continue to work with me so, I am not regretful of anything.

It's now Sunday and I am waiting for my brother and grandma to come to my mom's house. I am already tired and I am just want to take a nap. It is kind of weird because I don't know what to talk to my brother about but I guess we can just default to him being a grandpa again two more times.

I am just focused on keeping quiet about stuff and not mentioning too much because I am just waiting for today to end. But, I can try and be productive this half hour before dinner.

I suggested putting on The Chosen tv show or House of David to pacify the ultra religious people coming. I am not sure what to do but I am pretty sure they'll ignore me or talk amongst their selves. Grandma likes talking a lot so pretty much it will be us listening to her and her "infinite wisdom"

I am pretty tired already so I don't know if I can wait for the food really. I am wondering what tomorrow is going to bring, it being the day I go talk to the educational advisor at Chemeketa. I don't know if I will be able to go back to school since I am wanting to get a part time job but I will try to see about those lectures that they had hosted at one time for help with forming an LLC before and see if they might be having the same thing again sometime soon, even possibly switching over to another degree, or just even seeing the options are in general. Either way it won't be a waste, hopefully.
