I am well over the required amount for soloing in the helicopter. Really, i should have done it 20 hrs prior. but nope, I haven't even passed the FAA exam yet. -__- i feel like a slacker!
No way am I studying the FAA exam in spring break, cause i might have some school work. And I want to use that time for ground school. I need to get on it then. I want to solo this summer. No excuses. i'm going to be one of those few students that solos at a hundred hours.
But I shouldn't be ashamed, because that means i'll be a very confident and good flyer. I'll be close to comfortable as I am in a car (at least that's my goal). I want it this way because I know if i do it TOO soon I will be nervous and something may go wrong. When I finally go up alone I want to be 100 percent focused and not miss a beat. I never ant the helicopter to be ahead of me! I'm getting better at consistency in all ways, but I need this semester to keep refining my maneuvers. I'm getting close, and that realization lightens my down, dissatisfied mood. I'm getting so close. I just know it.
Dont banter me if you think I'm slow. in the end it will benefit me and the liability of my school and the expensive helicopters they own GREATLY.

You are defiantly right about knowing when you are ready to solo. Don't let anyone push you and keep at it. You will get there some day. I read some of your other entries and I'd like to tell you that I had similar feelings and experiences when I was younger. Keep striving for what you want to do and it will all come in time, even the confidence to do ATC work or solo or what ever else you set your mind to. Just relax and remember to breathe.
Its quite relieving to know others have thought similarly and experienced similar situations regarding the goals they are persuing. I just have to keep these things in mind. Thanks for the advice :), its greatly appreciated.
