Those last two weeks in photos!
Just in case you don't stalk me on facebook and foursquare and instagram (like I wish you would) ha ha jk, not really...
Here are some photos from my recent life:
This flower arrangement is pretty, so it must have been done before all the barfy pink and red carnation vase arrangements took over.
The owner of the flower shop recently got really into backyard farming, so he has been raising all sorts of animals; quails, geese, rabbits, etc etc. Here I am with a baby duck.
...and then a week when I guess I was too stressed out to take any photos AND here I am looking out at my first desert sunset in Phoenix a week ago. Look at the mountains in the background! Living in Florida for the past 7 years really makes me appreciate any changes in topography. If I am really, really tired after class and I kind of squint my eyes, it almost looks like I am in Japan. Wow... I really want to go back to Japan for a visit soon.
This is what I saw when I first landed in Pheonix! Welcome to the company! Actually, come to think of it, the gate agent welcomed me to the company and with a broad smile on his face, waved my bags through to security without even weighing them. Oh... the benefits are already kicking in!
This is one of the demo planes we sit in and practice different things. I love walking past rooms full of equipment and half airplanes. The novelty of this all still hasn't worn off.
We learned a lot of company history the first day... I found that the smaller airlines that eventually merged to become USAir (then USAirways) got their start in Pittsburgh! I'm so proud of my home-region. Go Western PA!
I've gotten pretty creative with food... here is my cereal-to-go one morning.
In I went to the mall on Sunday! Our only day off is Sundays.... and there a shuttle to the mall. I needed to go and find some company-approved footwear and knee highs... but it was fun looking around. OMG, I keep thinking, I am SO in 'The West'!
This is totally different from Florida in every way. One, it's really dry. Yes, everyone at the mall is speaking Spanish, but they are Mexican, not Cuban. SOOOO different out here.
The other trainees are really cool. Here's a photo of me and some of them today. There are 72 people in my class, but we are divided up into 2 groups. I think I have everyone's name down... maybe
The instructors are nice! It was someone's birthday today so we all got cake! Hooray for cake!
I have my 2nd test tomorrow, so wish me luck!
