Waiting for the Weekend

Can't help but wait for the weekend in where I just kick back and relax, as a commercially rated pilot, without a worry in the world. Of course, that only leads to the assumption that I really need a vacation. Yes.. this is true, I feel at times. I mean, yes, I am still motivated at early morings, and I try to balance my time between having fun with my dorm-roomates and friends, and studying those systems of the PA-44 Piper Seminole on top with weather knowledge, privelages of my rating, and some health issues and awareness about pilotage. But I can't help but wait to think that I will ahve a day in wher the hardest thing I have to do that day is wake up from my huge bed back home. Man, I can't wait.
But that day won't come unless I'm rated because I am so damn close. Really I am. Today I finally was able to perform up to standards in the single-engine ILS approach. FINALLY! Really, Steve (my instructor) and I were getting really frustrated to the fact that I knew I can fly the aircraft within Commercial pilot standards; however, it was just this maneuver taht caused us to be hesitant to sign me up and turn in the papers for my check ride.
That weekned will come. I know it will. I mean its so close to winter break for three full weeks of nothing but waking up and watching the tube. But until then, I'ms still pushing and waiting.
