First Day of Class

Well...this is going to be interesting! Missoula is beautiful, but it is cold and humid...which we aren't used to both at the same time. The raining when it is 23 degrees out is interesting as well. It freezes instantly on your windshield. Shouldn't it be snowing when it's 23 degrees?

We didn't drive today, but went over loading procedures and shifting the Watkins Shepard way. Tomorrow we take our first drive with our instructor...should be interesting. The last class finished up today and 4 out of the 6 students passed and were hired to be drivers. I think we will do just fine, but the pressure is difficult. When you have an instructor and students together in a truck and you have to remember everything your doing and perform correctly it does get a little intense.

We had a thick fog this morning until about 2 pm...and I mean thick. Also the sun doesn't rise here until about 8:30 which makes it a bit more difficult to to wake up and be motivated.
