Hi
Welcome to everyone who is new, and to those who read this blog. I'm sorry for the almost 4 month wait for a new post, however I was very busy with my work placement and all. After my work placement I applied for a job where I was working, however I didn't get one. I'm also one step closer to taking Driving Lessons. I've just got to push my parents to think I'm ready for it, then I'll be hitting the road. I got my Provisional Driving Licence in July. This leads me to getting one step closer to doing my HGV lessons.
To those of you who have started college this year, I hope you enjoy it.
Regarding the summer (What summer? In England, all we've had is a warmer version of Winter), I achieved the following;
To get my Provisional Driving Licence.
To go on one of the worlds fastest Diesel Powered Trains (DMUs we call them in England). The one I went on was powered by a 750 horsepower engine per carriage (The Train had 5 coaches, consisting of a Driving Vehicle at each end and 3 carriages in the middle). It is also the only train design on earth that has a Diesel Hydraulic Transmission. Most UK Train Fans are probably thinking "This sounds suspiciously like a Class 180, also called the 'Adelante'".
To loose weight (At last!)
I also nearly got a job working at one of my area's Bus Depots, however someone else got it instead. It was only a bus cleaning job anyway so it wouldn't have been much, but it's a start.
I'm in afternoons now and my class finishes in 5 minutes, so I'll see you all later.
