Nikki picked up a pen and proceeded to look for her journal. Ever since she started her training with International Rescue, she had been noting down her experiences. She had done the same when she was training to be a nurse, but this time she didn't mention any locations, the names of the Thunderbirds or their vehicles, or anyone's surnames.

Once Nikki found the book, she hopped onto her bed, made herself comfortable and flicked through the pages to find the next blank page to write her new entry. When she found it, she put pen to paper and began to write.

I should've written this yesterday, but I was so excited by what happened that the idea of jotting it down completely disappeared from my mind.

Never in my 24 years (albeit the last few months) did I ever think I'd achieve this. It definitely wasn't on my "to do" list when I was still attending school and thinking about what I saw myself doing in the future.

Yesterday I had my pilot's test. I was so nervous. Nervous the night before, during the day before the test started and during the test. Even during my last lesson with Scott. It wasn't until I got back to my apartment that the nervousness depleted. After it disappeared, I was finally able to feel good about what I had done.

I remember talking to Scott during my last lesson about my worries for the test. I don't think I've ever let on to Scott about any worries or nervousness about flying before. I don't know why. Maybe I thought he wouldn't understand or wouldn't be the type of person to listen to how I felt about my test. Boy, was I wrong.

He actually shocked me. He knew I wasn't confident during my first few flying lessons. Well, he said first few, but I think it might have been the first ten. Was I that transparent back then? Did I shake, stutter or freeze up?

Anyway, he reminded me that I got over it then, and asked how I did it. When I told him that my confidence grew because I got used to the controls and gradually I knew what I was doing, he then asked if I still knew what I was doing.

I nearly answered with, "Well, duh! Of course I do." Luckily I chose my words carefully before I spoke.

I knew where he was going with this. Instead of telling him that, I let him speak. It was so obvious. If I knew the controls and what I was doing then the test would be a snap and I'd have nothing to worry about. How come it took talking to Scott for me to realise something as obvious and easy as that? I must've been losing it.

So, after all that, yesterday I took the test and passed. I should really thank Scott for all he's done. I'll do that today.

Gotta dash now. I have an appointment to kick Alan's butt in basketball. I'm so going to beat him. I kinda didn't tell him that I used to play often with my brothers and I'm not going to either. I bet he'll think that he should take it easy on me because I'm a woman.
