School bus update

It's been almost a month of training now. I am comfortable driving the bus around the streets with other cars around me. I have come to learn all the parts of the engine in order to do my pre-trip, although I have renamed some parts to my liking ! Now what is standing in my way...the flipping course ! 

I posted a picture a few posts back of the cones on the course, they are scenarios that are never going to happen in real life so why do they torture us with it ?! I am proud of myself though, I did the whole course including parallel parking without going "out" meaning without going over the imaginary line, a cone or an imaginary wall. I was coached heavily BUT I did all the actual driving. The other people I am training with seem to think I am a natural and going to make a good driver. Driving that beast still scares me a bit but I am enjoying it.

Before I can take my test to get my license to start driving real kid I need to master that course and believe me I will. I am going to own it. I need this job so that is where this confidence is coming from, that and I am learning to stand on my own two feet.

Wish me luck guys !
