argh. yesterday was such a bad day, and i made a bad flight. of course, it was only 10 mins of "bad" but it's bad enough. the situational awareness dropped and i didnt manage the situation well, and i lost visual contact of a 3300 ft high mountain. 1km of vertical rocks. how do u lose sight of that? but overall, the instructor graded it as a pass just because the other aspects of my flight were good, apart from that small slip up. damn, i've dropped from the "excellent" band to the "good" band cuz of that flight. now gabi's average for flights is higher than mine. i'll do better tomorrow.

gotta send the car to the garage tonight, and cycle back from there. man, this sucks.
