Well yesterday afternoon the bumper to bumper text books came in and we started to review different chapters and watch a couple of videos. The videos break up the monotony of reading the books. the fmcsr books havent come in yet so we wont get to take the text books home til monday. the monotony of the reading isnt bad though its interested and im learning new things. No biggie though I am retaining info pretty well. We were given the answers to the chapter quizzes we read so we wouldnt be behind. I will retake the quizzes on my own and check my answers to keep me on top of my game.
Since I am ahead of the class and already have my permit i would love to learn and have the entire pretrip down pat by the first range in mid august.
Wednesday we watched a video on pretrip and another on rollovers and covered some more chapters. We have a general knowledge test tommorrow but I am confident that i will pass it with flying colors.
I am really liking my instructor Mr Aaron, we cover a lot of information but he doesnt fry our brains out and relates to his personal experience . We had a instructor that used to work at the school stop by on tuesday and we all went out to look at his rig. Mr Aaron was like a little kid in a candy shop when he saw the rig this guy was driving.
Well til tommorrow See ya

First Day
First day of school went really well, I had fun and feel good . I was the only one in class that already had their permit even though you dont need it til the 25th day of class i feel good yay me. The class is small, theres only 6 people in the class and with the small class sizes it will provide much more seat time than the average class gets.The classroom instructor Mr. Arron is pretty cool, ex marine with 25 years+ of experience, We watched a few videos on safety, eating healthy etc etc. Some of the students from another class came up with a couple of the tractors used in the yard and the range instructors. Answered any questions we had and got to talk to other students who were going to graduate the following week.
First test is thursday and its a general knowledge test should be a cake walk for me since i already have my permit and take the general knowledge a couple times already. goin to bed talk to all you tommorrow

Getting ready for school tommorrow.
I cant wait for tommorrow. It's my first day of CDL school and I feel like a kid all over again i got my backpack packed and all. It will be a long but fun 10 weeks because i will be working and going to school full time. It will be worth though because its an investment in my future. I think it will be an uplifting and fun expereince. The parents arent too keen on me but its my life and its not like I asked them to pay for it im paying for it all on my own.
Tommorrow should be interesting as its the first day so it will be a lot of info and such, handing out books and stuff. Im already ahead of the class as i have my learners permit already. The first week or so is supposed help the other students get their learners. Yeah I know im ahead already but thats good them most of it will be review.
Well anyways Im going to graba bite to eat and get some sleep for tommorrow!
