So the day is finally upon us =D

Saturday I’m going to be attempting to do my written A license exam…
I had originally planned to have it done by my 25th jump, here I am at 43 and I still haven’t gotten it over with.
So much for doing my B license by 50 jumps hahaha 🙂

Slow is fast Adam…. Slow is fast!

Ok, anyways, so Saturday I’m heading over to get the written part out of the way….
Well, that, and bring the beers that I owe: I jumped my 1st self-packed rig last Sunday (Failed to mention it since I was too stoked about the failed back-flip video haha)… I’m probably also gonna owe beers for the A license, so yeah, Saturday’s gonna be a drunken evening 😀

Never knew studying skydiving would be so…

BORING!

I’ve been reading my PIM 1 for my A license exam, and let me tell you, reading about the fees, or the requirements for certain proficiencies that I’ll never bother to get (Ahem D licence Ahem!) (NB: D license only gives 2 things: 1) the permission to jump without a helmet when NOT coaching someone, and 2) to participate as a course facilitator during CSPA seminars)

This hobby isn’t all fun and games as you can see.

So the studying begins…

I finished my A license courses, I’m now at 27 jumps, started my studies for the A license exam…
Basically, I gotta memorize two books about skydiving. That, and finally learn to pack a parachute… Back pain awaits =)

I was playing some Simon says in the sky with Valerie, basically just following her movements (swimming in the sky, learning the mantis position, grabing my foot with my hand, etc…)
Did more Tracking, some dive exits, and ended the day with a huge grin on my face, knowing that 1 month from now, I’ll be doing my A license exam.
As it stands, I’ll probably be doing my B license exam at the end of the summer… I’m going from having planned it for the middle of next summer to planning it for July/August :D.
Damn this sport’s taking all my money!
