It was a great weekend–but a long one.  I had a flight scheduled for Monday morning and I knew I was supposed to solo but I felt unprepared and exhausted the night before.  I wasn’t sure how it would go but the next morning I felt better but nervous.  My instructor has so much confidence in me so he stepped out of the airplane.  I took off and landed safely 3 times.  This morning I was set to go to the practice area by myself, just about 15 miles from the airport.  The nerves set in once I got to the airport.  By the time I got into the plane, I was a bundle of nerves.  I tried to shake it off and forced myself at least to takeoff and land but after the third time, I knew it wasn’t going to go away.  I hope I can go up again soon.  I know I can do it.  I just need to prepare better so I have nothing to be scared of.  Prayers appreciated.
