Okay, so I'm starting from square one.
Yea... screw that. I'm the continuation of
Azal.r75 I had gained this name and wanted to make the move to make this my main page. Most of you coming here probably know me from this.
So, TFF2013 was freaking amazing, I would honestly say that weekend was the best weekend of my life... and when it comes to cons, not just furry conventions, but in general it was the best con I've been to. I will definitely do everything I can to get there again in 2014, and I will do my best to make sure I keep in contact with all the wonderful furs I met at the con.
The week after...well con crud certainly attacked me to a level that took me down, but the good news also came that week that yes, my CDL class is getting paid for, so I'm getting through by state to be a fully trained truck driver =^^=.
News on it... HOLY FRIGGIN HECK this stuff is hard. I got thrown headfirst in when I got to class... turned out that the state computers were going to be down Wed-Fri, so when we would normally be getting our learners permits on Friday, instead we had to do class and get them Tuesday.
Honestly, I'm still trying to get the idea that they are seriously giving me control of an 80,000 lb death machine here... I've already driven once and shit... trying to keep up with shifting it and turning with a 48' trailer.... dear lord I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
Well, now moving stuff over.

I wish I could have gone to TFF something awful from all the stuff I keep hearing, but dreams > furcons alas. Maybe next year!
And I understand that on working towards your dreams first. As I was told when I started, there are other cons, you have plenty of time when you are able, and hopefully we'll be able to meet up at one again soon. =^^=
It's great to hear that the state is going to pay for your CDL, though it definitely sounds like a wild ride, if you'll pardon the pun. Hope you're making it through the accelerated process well enough. I can believe that they're putting you in charge of a big honkin' truck, and I can also believe that driving it is going to take some getting used to, especially if you're not used to driving a standard transmission. My family has its share of big, bulky vehicles (sometimes with a boat or camping trailer attached), so I can empathize even as I realize that what you're doing is an order of magnitude beyond what I've tried out. Best of luck, man!
On the other hand, the class is going well, I hope I can pass the bloody tests, but it's been interesting, been driving a bit. Thanks for the luck and I'll do my best =^^=
