Here is a breakdown of my last eight weeks: I go for a review flight with CFI, schedule check ride, cancel, go for a review flight with CFI, schedule check ride, cancel.. I have had to cancel four times now due to low ceilings/rain. I am fearful of going on my checkride without having flown in a few weeks, so I go up with an instructor on a VFR day just to make sure I am still PTS proficient, but then like clockwork it is mostly cloudy for another 10 days...

What other setbacks have you guys/gals experienced out there in your pursuit of various licenses? Just wondering what other problems I can look forward to/prepare myself for - at this point I am thinking of becoming a meteorologist.
