Well, it is finally the weekend, which means that I got to sleep in, which amounted to me waking up at 6:30 instead of 3:30, which was great. It also means that I have an entire day in Lewiston to do....something. I've already gone out and explored the city, as well as Clarkston. Nothing much to report on that, although it was nice to see the area in the day light instead of when it is dark (when we leave the hotel it is dark, and by the time we leave school the sun is already setting). So, I figured I would give everyone a better idea of the diverse group that is here going through school.
When I say diverse, I of course mean mainly white (there is only one non-white, my roommate), all but two males, and all straight. But other than that, we are quite diverse. We have a couple of guys from Montana, a couple more from Idaho, a married couple from Missouri, a couple of people from Portland, and a couple of guys from Alaska, and a few people from Spokane. Surprisingly enough I am the only person from Spokane. And then there is of course my roommate from Costa Rica (I know, I said he was from somewhere else in my first post, I made a mistake, my bad). My roommate currently working on getting his citizenship, although it is kind of a long process. Despite all of our differences, we are all supportive of each other, even on the first day.
We heard some good news on Friday, the first two weeks of training (when we are on the road with a mentor) we will be getting an extra $100 a week, so that was nice to hear. Other than that, we are all pretty much trying to study and not get too nervous about our written tests on Monday.
Well, I think that is about all the news I can think of, so I guess I'll sign off and update you all when I know more (such as when I have my CDL permit.....or I fail it)
