Well I did it!!! :) I graduated July 22nd from flight attendant training with Southwest airlines! It was so much fun, so much work and so much stress! BUT, I know already it is worth it! 4 weeks of intense training for what will be a career I can have for the rest of my life! I'm so excited to be a part of such a great company! One that will allow me to do all the things I want to in my life! I'm really blessed and I'm so grateful for all the blessings I have been given!
I have been based in Baltimore .... Ha! I won't lie, it will be a very good experience for me to explore the east coast! Although I do hope to get based on the west coast within the next couple of months! For now, I'm taking it one day at a time, but it's been very hard for me to remember that there is life outside of all of this! I get in what I'm going to start calling 'airplane mode' and I forget to call people and update them and see how they are... It's a very different lifestyle that is going to take some getting use to! So if you feel forgotten, I'm so very sorry! I missed my moms birthday :( I'm such a terrible person! Ugh! I feel terrible about it! I was on my 1st 3 day trip and was so nervous the entire time I was afraid to get my phone out and then i just spaced it!
I'm now on my 2nd trip! We are in Tampa and tomorrow we will make our way back to baltimore. I'm hoping I get better As time goes by because I'm starting to have the moments of defeat when I mess up someones drunk order. Lol it's fun though!!
My only words of advice for passengers so far is, please keep your body in your seat. You really don't have to read your newspaper by leaning out into the aisle! :) I don't want to trip with my tray of drinks... Again (i didn't drop it)

SO FAR...
Alright, I have been super busy trying to get my room packed up. In case my parents decide to move while I am in training or shortly after. I'm not sure when I will be home next. If everything goes according to plan. I will be in Dallas for the next 4 weeks. Be assigned my 'Base' and if rumors are true, I will only have a couple days to GET to my base. SO, I'm thinking it is better to have everything at 'home' situated accordingly because I truly don't know where home is anymore!
I've been packing and studying... As you can see, I have a few more PA's memorized. Below are the ones that I know.
13 down, 10 to go (long ones) OYE!
