  Commercial 2 - Done!
I passed my Commercial 2 checkride on friday, which is good news although I would have liked to do better.  There are always 2 parts to a checkride, the oral exam and the flying exam.  I know, I know, everyone makes jokes at the oral exam.  Anyways, the oral part was mostly a joke were we sat there reading some weird legal definitions from part 1 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.  The flying part was worse.  I had never flown with, or even really talked to the instructor I was doing this with.  I didn't understand a lot of what he was asking and he mumbled a lot.  All that on top of my anxiety and bad decision making and you have one lousy checkride.  Still managed to pass and I guess that's all that matters.  I hate commercial manuevers.  Now I'm flying the retractable landing gear Cessna 172's for Commercial 3 for about a month until my Commercial 3 checkride where I will become a commercial pilot and can be paid to fly.
After that, on friday we went to see Serenity.  It was just Rick and Alison and me.  It was a really good movie, but they killed some characters I liked.  I was hoping another tv network would pick it up, but I don't know if I want to see any more without them.  He didn't even need to die.  There was no point.  But I guess there never is...
