Well, I've only been here two days so far, although it seems like it's been a lot longer than that. In that time I have been physically tested (lifting weights, stretching, etc.) and poked and prodded by a doctor, and perhaps most significant (and sad) is that I am no longer a resident on the great state of Washington, no, I am now a resident of the "great" state of Idaho. The reason for this abomination is that since the school is in Idaho, I will be getting my CDL in Idaho, and in order to do that I have to be a resident, and have a driver's license from Idaho. So, we all had to take a written test this morning at the DMV, and now in my wallet is a driver's license from Idaho, instead of Washington. I look forward to going back home and getting my good ol' Washington license back (With CDL endorsement of course). Other than that everything is going well, there are 15 people left. We started with 19 on Wednesday, but lost two due to health reasons on their physical tests, and then we lost one due to a family emergency at home, and another one who decided that this whole thing was not for them. So hopefully we will slow down this rapid decrease in people. We will be taking writing tests for or CDL on Monday, in order to get our permits so that we can start driving the tractor (trucker speak for the cab with the engine)
Getting up at 3:30 AM and staying in class until 4 PM is getting a little old, but at least we get to sleep some on the weekend (while we study).
That's about it for now, hope all is going well with everyone!
