Late Bloomer
Pre-Flight
Those who have read my initial post http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46903 know I'm resuming my flight training for my PP.
The weather wasn't cooperating, so we just went over paperwork and talked. I told her some concerns I had. My last instructor would really never give me any feedback, except for saying, "You're doing fine." I told her I needed more than that, and she said that won't be a problem for her.
I also told her that I didn't feel learning to fly was as much fun as I'd hoped it would be; it was more like work. I understand the hard work it takes to achieve anything worthwhile, but shouldn't you be able to have fun as well to make it intersting? She told me she likes to make it fun, and can actually "play" during lessons. She said we'd play games and have contests (spot landing, etc.). She also told me she wouldn't let me give up. Out of all the CFIs I've had over the years, she's the only one who's told me that.

I'm hopeful I'll be able to complete my PP this time, though I'm still somewhat apprehensive about it, and I don't know why.
We were supposed to fly yesterday, but storms prevented us from going. It's supposed to be sunny this weekend, and we're scheduled to go Saturday and Sunday. I'll let you know how it goes.
