Well, it's kind of underwhelming. Firstly, nobody told me that due to the storms in Florida in September, I'd get in under half the flying I wanted to. Secondly, nobody told me that my instructor would be a kid (no problem with that), who just got frustrated with me when I barely heard the stall buzzer and didn't immediately get power-on stalls right. I know the fit of the instructor is important, and when I mentioned it, someone there (don't remember who, not the big cheese), told me the instructor was good and I should carry on with him.

So after four days, I packed it in, partied with friends in Miami, and went home.
