Tomorrow is test day! Aaaaaagh! I bet I don't sleep a wink tonight! After complaining to myself about some time being robbed away from me due to administrative stuff that Willy had to do and a faulty electrical plug on Mabel that fed the electricity to the side running lights and tail lights of the trailer, Willy informed me that he'd be making them up to me...Tomorrow morning! So, now instead of being there by 8am I have to be there by 7am. Who cares! The longer the warm-up for my test which starts at 9:30am, the better. I'm going to be peaking, I swear! Wish me luck, y'all!

So today went extremely well. My shifting went well. My back-ups went well. And, get this, my cornering went extremely well thanks to this little exercise Willy had me do. He set up pylons in the yard, and I was doing figure eights around them. Wow, it is not as easy as it looks, not that I thought it looked easy! Willy sure makes it look easy thought. But ofcourse, he's been doing it for a lot longer than I have. And I may not have done the figure eights as fast as he did, but at least I didn't flatten a pylon like some instructor I know whose name was mentioned four times already. Heh!

So that's tomorrow. And now for a bit of nerdtastic news that I just came accross. It appears as if my favourite director and favourite author are teaming up to make a movie. When he's finished with all that Spiderman 3 business, Sam Raimi is doing a film adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men. My Daughter, Kristen, read this book and gave it a thumbs up. Everyone who knows me well knows that I read Terry Pratchett constantly and that when I am without anything else to read, I will read Terry Pratchett books over and over again. I've pretty well memorised them. And who doesn't know how much of a fan I am of the Evil Dead series; especially the 2nd in the trilogy. Wowee! I've died and gone to geek heaven! Now the wait...

Oh, and as to that little scare I had yesterday about the school being sold and me getting a new instructor, that didn't pan out in a negative way. Apparently the school, Southern Alberta Truck Driver Training College Inc (and Job Placement Centre) has been sold, but Willy is staying on to run the school with all sorts of added benefits to himself. So, I don't lose a good instructor on my last few days, and Willy gets to keep doing what he loves to do with added benefits, as well.

So everyone, keep me in your thoughts tonight and tomorrow morning. I just don't want to spaz and take the instructor over a cliff...well, maybe if she fails me...
