Thanks Darin๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŽ‰!! Totally praying things go smooth also. I got less than 2 hours (it's 3:26am here in Memphis,TN) before I get ready for class (class starts at 7am but wanted to get an early head start). Got to sleep early last night and yes I'm actually super shocked because I was to nervous and excited to sleep haha. Looks like my alarm clock will be sleeping in this morning as I won't need it haha๐Ÿ˜‚.

Update on 8/24/20 @7:18pm ๐Ÿ’ซMonday๐Ÿ’ซ Well just finished my first day at Roadmaster! Today was just mostly signing papers,testing on computers and watching videos. So it was a pretty laid back day. There are 13 of us (I know that's large vs the 5 at Titan). I'll be the only and first one in class to go onto the pad on tomorrow to practice my pre-trips. Because surprisingly I was the only who got their permit before attending the school. But that's totally ok. Giving good luck to all 12 on Thursday's permit test. Ok back to the first day of class. Not much was going on,laid back and the instructor is super chilled and kinda a jokester. We get 3 breaks a day (two 15min breaks and one 1hr lunch break). And guys let me tell you...my world breaking roller coaster is far from over..Keep in mind I haven't eaten a thing before lunch. How about I inturupt class because my stomach would not stay put. Will not go into details. Let's just keep it at never eat rice and chicken the night before school๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. But other than that it was a chilled out day. Will keep you guys/gals updated!!

Thanks Stevo & PJ!!!! I swear the TT family got me through so much. Here's a double update on 8/26/20 @8:47PM.

Day 2 8/25/20 Was studying Pre-trip, pre-trip, pre-trip. My first instructor was not very into into teaching me how to do the in cab as he seem very agitated and was on his phone half the time. But he gave me some info on what to do. Afterwards I study the pre-trip the rest of the day until it was time to go home.

Day 3 8/26/20 Study my pre-trips again this time it was all about in cab. And guess what I got a new instructor!! She is extremely kind and helps all the way. Im finally starting to get it in order. I was so worried with my first instructor that I thought I would never get it. But after spending a day with her,I'm starting to get what order and what I should be looking for in my pre-trip. Afterwards she left me and a few classmates alone to study the in cab. Also 2 of my class mates did the eval and they did beyond amazing.

Day 4 8/27/20 @8:42PM Another good day & another day for pre-trips. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of getting my pre-trips down pack. We also did in cab instruction. The in cab got me for sure. After lunch the entire school had to meet up in the middle court yard for roll call and to get information about weather you will be in class room,on the pad,doing pre-trips or going with an instructor to practice the driving portion. Well myself & another student went to class for trip planning. Today was as laid back as yesterday. I guess cause the rain made everything chilled. But anyway sorry if my update doesn't make since. I'm EXTREMELY tired....๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿฅบ
