Well, last I wrote I was about to head into uniform fittings... Not much to say about that except, Oh My God. The worst experience, ever. Nothing like someone basically calling you fat in a variety of different ways. But that's whatever. Luckily, I didn't cry that time... At least not that anyone saw haha.
I am OFFICIALLY based out of DFW Airport following graduation. Our instructors were amazing and had the Easter Bunny come in early and tape Easter Eggs under our chairs and apparently they were there all day long! So after dinner we were finally told and our airport codes were inside and tons of screaming, squeal, crying and laughing happened all at once. I was in tears and everyone thought I was upset, haha. One of my instructors came up to me and attempted to comfort me and said "look at this as an adventure opportunity, Dallas is great to be at!" Haha so I told her, "Oh no these are happy tears!" I am so excited to be close to family and incredible friends out here and have people I know I can turn to I case something comes up. I start indoc on May 8th, I'll spend a few days moving into my new apartment (once I find one) and then I'll be heading back to Virginia on May 11th! I cannot wait to graduate and come home and see my friends and my puppies and my bird! Haha, it's the little things. Never mind the fact that my room with be empty and I'll end up on an air mattress.
Last week we got our uniforms! And this week we started wearing them! I'm sure everyone has seen the selfies posted all week lol. We pretty much feel like Ms. Trunchble from the movie Matilda, our only redeeming qualities are our hair and make up haha. But such is life and they are slowly growing on me/us I think.
This last weekend was AMAZING. Lilly, Kala and I got to enjoy all that Uptown has to offer, pretty much love the Dallas night life. Lilly and I spent Saturday looking at apartments and exploring Dallas. We found our favorite Sushi spot! And took 3 other girls with us on Sunday. What's better than getting out of your hotel for sushi and shopping!?
As of right now I am Super 80, 737 and soon to be 757 qualified! On Saturday I will be going on my very first work trip. My girlfriend Gabby and I will be heading up to Ontario, California for the afternoon. We are so excited to finally see it all in really life and hopefully even get a chance to help out!
We had base visits yesterday! All the bases, DCA, LGA, MIA, DFW, ORD, and LAX, send out representatives and they talk about the base and what to expect, where to live, the different programs available for new hires. It was a wealth of info and their presentation left us all tears eyed and full of excitement to join the DFW family. Seriously, cannot wait!
Being here has been incredible, incredibly stressful, incredibly exciting, and emotionally draining. I had NEVER experienced being homesick before this, and I have had the worst case of it. But accepting the job offer and taking a chance was the best decision I have ever made. Seeing so many people come back to say hi to instructors and old friends, and hearing that people have been around for over 30 years just blows my mind. One of my instructors just celebrated her 38th anniversary this week and she brought in her best friend that she met while she was in training. It was so special to see them together and see what the job does.
The various opportunities a flight attendant has to branch out is so overwhelming and exciting. I can't wait to see where God takes me after training. There are so many possibilities, I'm so anxious to see what awaits!
