Hey folks! Great to be back in the blog-o-sphere! This bus driving course has kept me hopping. So much so that I've been neglecting the followers of this adventure. (all three of you - LOL).

On Tuesday this past week we had a big Day 11 written test. This was on our last classroom day and passing it was important because after it there would be no more classroom time before our big final exam and road test. I'm pleased to announce that I passed with 94%. Not the highest score in the bunch but certainly respectible. Gifts will be accepted at the address below...

So yesterday we started driving full days. Due to a larger class size than usual (and an odd number) I get to be in a bus myself with an instructor. Usually there are two operators and an instructor. The two would trade off during the day at regular intervals. In my case I'm driving ALL DAY! Yeeehawwww! This is giving me the road time I need to become a "smooth operator" and really know how to control the bus.

Yesterday we drove all over the south and west sides of Winnipeg from the University of Manitoba to St Norbert, to Charleswood, Cresentwood to Murray Park. It was loads of fun and I'm already getting more used to the bus. Today I'm going to be careening down the streets of downtown Winnipeg. This should be interesting. Stay tuned and see if our intrepid blue hero can withstand the stress of downtown Winnipeg!
