TK is finally over and after a long day of testing and excitement, we are all back safely to the compound, minus two people. Sadly we did lose two of our group today and it was hard for all of us to get past it and pull ourselves together. But we had to move on because we still had two more exams ahead of us. Lots of tears at the beginning, yet lots of happiness and applause at the end. 
I had a complete success on my first two exams: oxygen and door evacuations. I aced all three doors we were given and didn't have to use any retakes. The last two were written exams and I got a perfect score on both. 100's all the way across baby!!! In addition to testing we were able to put on the orange jumpsuits and jump down an actual airplane slide one by one. It was a little scary but I made it down with no bruises or bumps...minus the spider bite I woke up with this morning on my face. More on that later.
The best part about the whole day however, is that once you complete TK and return back to the campus, you finally get to wear your uniform and everything that goes along with it. So from now on we will be in uniform from head to toe. We can't even go out and celebrate tonight because we have our second training flight in the morning, bright and early. I will be with one other girl from my class and we are headed to glorious, Newark, New Jersey (sense the sarcasm). :) Chicago is supposed to get some nasty weather tomorrow so we might be overnighting it up in NJ if delays continue. But our international flight is next week and we are either going to Amsterdam or Tokyo! I can't wait!!!
