Post groundschool thinking

I'm watching the British island going past me, the sun (strangely) shining outside, while our ferry is leading us towards the continental Europe. We still have over a thousand of kilometers to go before reaching Milan and my thinking is now focused on how fast has these 6 months gone!
It seems yesterday when we were doing exactly the opposite route, leaving all our friends, family, habits and our comfortable home "just" to chase a dream and, although I'm at less than half of my training, I can say for sure that these months already paid off. They simply worth, because I've met people and some of them are or will probably become friends. I'm going to carry on with my training with some of the guys I met on that typical rainy English December day, and I'm glad to have shared the first part of the training with all of them.
Each of my coursemates gave me something, and I'm really thankful for that.
Well, as you will have probably realised, the groundschool has come to an end, the electronic exams went good and I've done well in all of the 14 subjects, so no re-sits and a really pleasant overall average of 95%!
So...what does that mean?
That simply means that having completed successfully the groundschool I've just come to the first milestone of my training (the ATPL theory, indeed).
What's next, then? Well, as you would have probably understood, I'm going home for a few weeks, just to see my friends and family again, then I'm heading to the hot Phoenix for the next six months, where I'll be up in the air training for the second milestone: the CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence, for who is not familiar with acronyms yet).
Well, I think I bored you enough so far, so I'll update you as soon as I get to America!
