I can see the finish line!
Next week is our last week of school, and we (I & classmates) can't wait! The whole experience has been a roller coaster ride due to the schools realtionship with the Secretary of State (not good), shoddy equipment, re-testers, and being caught in the middle. Some of our training trucks have crappy transmissions, but good brakes. Others have great transmissions, but crappy brakes. The yard trucks seem to have been pieced together, but we still manage to have some fun. The instructors are great, and our best instructor is a female. She's yells, barks, and will bite if provoked. She also tells you when you've done good and encourages you to do better.
For those of you looking into getting into school - do some research on the school before enrolling. Ask questions about the passing/failure rate, the schools relationship with the Secretary of State, talk to students already enrolled, ask to tour their facilities, and check out their equipment.
It wasn't the worst experience, and it hasn't been the best either. I believe in due time, the school will get everything together, but for now things are a little screwed up. I finish up next week, and then a week or two after that I'm off to TMC for orientation.
