Another character Season 5 didn't end well for, Arya may have crossed a name of her kill list in gloriously brutal fashion, but 'no one' wound up being made blind because of it.

While last year didn't pick up Arya's story until the second episode, we're getting straight into it this time around as she'll be seen training with the Waif. This comes from both a clip that shows it, and a new still of the scene as well (and those blind lenses still look really cool, in a creepy sort of way).

Based on that clip, the training isn't going to be any easier than what she'd had to endure so far, especially as she'll be making mistakes and coming into more conflict with the Waif (and the person wearing Jaqen's face) than simply training with a wooden stick.
