good luck dood. i'm doing FT work and PT school, and it seems to occupy pretty much all of my life right now, so i empathize. my advice is to make sure and commit at least one night a week to drunken endeavours. you'd be amazed at the amount of information you can absorb when you're studying hungover.  ;)

hopefully we'll see ya around at GCVWS.

hey all, thank you so much for your support.

the first week was great. 530am does come awfully quickly tho. i'm still getting used to that. :P

alot of reading. alot of homework. orientation. shop safety. whmis (workplace hazardous materials information system). alldata and mitchell (computer software used by shops to tell you about all types and years of cars and how long it will take and how much it will cost to fix something).
small tasks like using measuring tools and sharpening drill bits and tapping and other shit.

all in all, i'm lovin it. great teachers and fellow students. great facility with all the tools and equipment we'll ever need. good fun and it's all food for the brain.
