Well my first three days back have come and gone, all in all not too shabby. My confidence is back up and is gonna be full swing next week. I think that despite having a tough FTO, things should work out. It helps that he and I get along, also that I have a flexible spirit to take his critiques, which can be scathing from what I have heard. I haven’t had any yet, but I’m sure it’ll get there one day. I also have the support of the other members at the station, which bolsters my confidence.

I have been thinking however, that with all of this time I have taken in training, I have somewhat neglected my friends. It’s been forever since I’ve seen Ed and the rest of his family. Neko has her busy life, Enzo and Idiottool are far far away in SJ area. As soon as this is over in the beginning of June I will be able to make a more conscious effort to have my relationships back.
