Room tour!!!

It seems that my videos are too large to upload Blogger! Since I already have them uploaded to my OneDrive account, I'm going to try and share them directly from that platform.  The order of videos is Intro, Tour, Conclusion.  Please let me know if for some reason, the link to the video folder doesn't work.  Thanks and enjoy!!!

The (first) Finish Line!!! (part 3)

The other 2 guys who had failed their first times, passed on their second times.  I was the last person to test the 1st time and retest the 2nd time.  I didn't want to be a three-peat!!!  Now, I should mention, everyone in the class besides me had owned and driven a manual vehicle at some point in their life.  I, the cheese, was standing alone.  So, for what that's worth, I did an amazing job learning to shift in the short time I had (5 weeks). When I got to school that morning (last Tuesday), I was looking for a useful distraction lol.  I found it in tutoring the new class of CDL students on the finer points of the pre-trip (which I, of course, loved doing!!!).  I felt like a proud teacher, imparting wisdom with every gesture I made.  Then...it was time for me to turn back into a pumpkin (another student), and do my retest haha. I retested with a different examiner, which was fine with me.  I made it out of the yard without running over ...

Week 1 is in the bag!

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that the 1st week at my new school was awesome!!!  It took some time to settle in, but now, I'm feeling like part of the crew, and I'm really enjoying myself.  I am the only woman in a class of 8, and at times that feels daunting.  But, I'm doing my best to focus on learning how to do my job to the best of my ability, so when I'm out on the road by myself, I can be safe and efficient.  I've retained about 85% of what I learned in my first training program, so I'm really proud of myself. My class is made up of several generations, so it's interesting to kind of hear and see how each person arrived at this point in their lives/careers.  We had 3 recruiters come in on Wednesday, and they made their pitches.  2 of them were advertising their flatbed divisions (which I'm not strong enough to do safely, and I'm okay with that lol), and the 3rd had an equally arduous dry van division (loading and unloading food supplies...

The (first) Finish Line!!! (part 2)

My first shot at the road test was about mid-morning.  First thing that morning, I went with my instructor and we tried all sorts of roads and turns.  I only made 1 mistake; everything else I nailed!  Annnnd then, I promptly failed the road test on the actual exam!!!  I was like, what the heck just happened?????  Again, it could have been nerves, but I also suspect that I was just plain confused.  See, there are things one has to think about with a manual transmission that one simply glosses over with an automatic transmission.   Oh, and did I mention I had to double-clutch???  I had to learn to press the clutch in slightly to come out of gear, then press the clutch in slightly again to put it into the next higher gear.  To downshift, do that and then add in a quick engine rev in the middle just for kicks and giggles.  Not gonna lie, the manual transmission was kinda my arch nemesis during class.  I was convinced the clutch w...
