learning to love turbulence

Ok so the last time I was on here was when I was seeking Pre solo encouragement , which I got and helped me finally make it to the big flight on my own!

I've been steadily working away at the flying , building up some solo time and developing the skills I'm going to use in my cross country flights ! I'm having a blast

Still over the winter my old nemesis turbulence fear has raised it's ugly head.
North winds cause convective turbulence over the city leading to some less than smooth sir and a high degree of anxiety
My instructor has been helping me work through this

Anyways on a whim , during a vacation to Vegas I booked myself some time in a glider !
No escaping the updrafts there !
My instructor was an absolute riot and I had so much fun.
Can't believe we were actively seeking out the bumpy air AND I was enjoying it
Think I may be hooked
