So my first day of training started today. This first week is all classroom time to prepare me for my learner's license. I was there from 7am to 6pm. Eleven hours of sitting at a table listening to my instructor reading out of a the CDL manual, while I read along. The first two hours, I struggled to even stay awake. A couple of times I rested my head in my hands and pretending I was looking at the book but I had my eyes closed. We had about a 15min break and after that I was better. I swear I think my instructor was going to fall asleep himself while he was talking. I couldn't hardly see his eyes because his eyes were so droopy.
In my class are three other guys and me. I am soo glad I wasn't in the class that was the week or two before me. There are a few young men who's every sentence had the "f" word in it. During my lunch I had to go off to a quiet place so I wouldn't have to hear it. Luckily the guys in my class are very well mannered.
One of my previous patients who told me about the training center came by around lunch to check up on me. Very sweet of him. Of course I am sure he was making sure they knew he referred me to them so he could get $100 for it.
My feeling for this day is..I thought it overall went real well. I think when I go and take my written test I will do good. But, I am worried that when I take my driver's test that I will fail only because of the pre-trip. I haven't started learning it yet so I am sure that feeling will change once I am practicing hands-on.
