Great job! If it's like my school, you'll be glad you got your permit before class. All but 4 of my class didn't, and they've been in the classroom all week while we"ve been driving.

I studied TT's training materials and went down to get my permit Monday. Only to be told that they stopped giving CDL tests 15 minutes earlier. Deja vu all over again.
The lady was nice enough to check that KY had gotten my self-certification and medical info already. So I took my motorcycle written and picked up my Motorcycle Instruction Permit. Last Friday I had arrived 15 minutes too late to take the motorcycle written.
The trooper at the testing area told me that it was his pleasure to see someone pass on their first try. Then I couldn't get my permit because they didn't have my medical information in the computer. I had the card with me so I could take a picture and email it right away; except I left my phone at home. Can't have it on at the testing station anyway. A quick drive home, an email, a phone call, disconnected another phone call, good thing I wrote down my call reference #, and verbal confirmation that all is good. Drive back out to the DMV. On the way there while I'm about to change lanes a driver changes lanes into my blind spot. While I've got my concentration on him a different driver changes lanes directly beside me. Jamais vu! It'll only get worse with a bigger truck I'm sure.
The best part is my class starts TOMORROW!!!
Half a shift tonight (over at 10:45 pm) and up bright and early for an 8 am start.
I'm so excited I'm having problems sitting still enough to type this.
