What a beauty!
As I mentioned previously, I am finally free of a job, and can now dedicate much more time to my theory lessons. Part of that involves attending the "live" classes at West Valley College, rather than online.
Don't get me wrong, the online classes were great, and I do plan on referring to them often from now on, but it is beneficial to be where I can easily ask an instructor to clarify a point, etc, etc...
Yesterday was my first day attending class, and it was quite a new experience. Being surrounded by people--and their many sounds--was a bit distracting at first, but I consider it good practice for the actual job. After all, the world is full of many noises that one can't avoid.
One of the best things about attending class, however, would have to be the COMMUTING! I get to bike down 8.4 miles down (just double-checked on Google Maps) each way, which takes roughly 40 minutes. That's a good 1 hr 20 minutes worth of exercise a day!
Plus, the route there is just wonderful, as the majority of it is via a very peaceful and quiet trail. Even the road portion doesn't seem to be very car-active, and I don't have to worry about many confusing turns.
There's also the added bonus of the school's locker room facilities--complete with warm showers and...blow dryers! What a real luxury!
It's a great season to be starting this commuting route, and once it really warms up, I may even incorporate some rollerblading! So far, I've been fortunate enough to avoid having to lug around my own writer or laptop, so that may put a bit of a wrench in the works later on, but I plan on adapting when it comes up.
Until next time... happy riding!
