Day 5 and the Weekend

The weekend is finally here.  Part of me is thankful, but the other part of me wishes that I could be out on the hill right now.  It gets VERY boring sitting around the hotel.  I am literally walking around the hotel just to get a change of scenery!

Today, we did our map reading/trip planning class.  It took 5 hours to get through this class, but it is a lot of information to soak up.  Don't buy a road atlas until you're out with your trainer.  There's no need to and the instructors are going to make you use theirs anyways.

They moved me and 9 other students to night shift starting Monday.  We will be going to school from 3pm-11pm.  I am very happy about this as it will give us a lot more 1 on 1 training with the instructors.  There are a few people in my class who have not gone around the track more than once.  I was lucky in the fact that I was able to go around 3 times!  So this split will definitely help out with that.  I am also happy that going to the DMV will no longer cut into class time as we will be able to go before school.  I will be able to finish up with the DMV on Monday, but a lot of the others still have 4 or more tests to take and will be going for the majority of next week.

I will finally get to go to Wal Mart tomorrow so that I can get some groceries.  I am also going out to eat tomorrow night with the in-laws.  Other than that, I have absolutely no idea what to do for the weekend.  I don't know what's on the schedule for Monday, but I'm 99% sure we are done with the classroom stuff...so it should involve driving!

  1. Keep up the good work Matt. Take advantage of every one on one chance you get with the instructors. Enjoy all the beauty sleep you can obtain for this schedule.
