    Update

    The first week of orientation is over, just a few more days left. I passed all the driving test with no problems and got all the written test done early.

    My mom lives in Spokane and came into town for a few hours on Saturday. It was good to see her, it had been about 2-3 years since I saw her last. We went out to lunch. We were planning on going to a park by the river after, but a good 'ol Montana thunder storm came rolling thru so we ended up at the mall. After she went back home I stayed up late watching all the videos.

    Today I decided since the videos and test were all done I would take the hoopty malibu out and check out the area. Ended up heading over to Garnet. It is a ghost town from the 1860's. It was a very scenic trip and took a few pics while I was there.

    It is back to class in the morning, should find out in a few days if they are going to hire me on. I am feeling pretty confident and have my fingers crossed.
     
    hup Thanks this.

    If you made it past The Hill, then you're probably good. You'll know for sure by tomorrow when they start doing all the hire-on stuff.

    Don't think we'll make it back through before you head out, but feel free to poke us if you need anything. :)

    At the end of class today I was told to get the address and social security numbers for the beneficiaries for the life insurance. I am taking that as a good thing!

    Every day for the last week and a half has been a long day, but yet it has flown by very fast. It is just a matter of days before I can join all of you on the road and I can't wait!!!

    Ask and you shall receive...

    but it will take me another day or two, just got started on them tonight.

    I shoot in RAW format so it is not as simple as just downloading them off the memory card. Pain in the but at times, but worth the extra effort imo
