Congrats, enjoy yourself.

A couple of Pointers:

1) Keep off the grass (actually you can't find the grass under the snow, or at least you couldn't last monday when I was there.)
2) Be prepared to " Forget everything you learned before, do it this way" Several times over the next 8 weeks. Each person you learn from will have something different to say. I suggest you listen to whoever is watching you at the moment. When you are on your own do it however you feel is the best and safest way.
3) Take notes on load securement, pictures are even better. Someday you may want to look back at that.
4)Pay attention, and don't be LATE. If you oversleep you will get a phone call on speakerphone from the classroom.
5) Don't let a trainer make you do anything you aren't comfortable with.

Study hard, and don't do anything stupid. Good luck.
