Today I did my long solo cross-country flight from KHWD to KMHR to KTCY back to KHWD in 2.4 hours. I'm happy I finally got to do it, and now that that milestone is past I can start with the remaining requirements: night and instrument time. I still have more solo time to do, but I imagine I'll do those occasionally, kinda on my own time.
I'm sitting at 21.6 hours after this flight, officially past the half-way point. What this means is that I need to start buckling down and getting prepared for the oral test. I already know much from my previous years of study, but I'm fairly weak on some topics. Also, if I don't start losing weight, I'm screwed.
