MMI Week 5 DONE!

Well week 5 has come and gone with quite a bit of headache. Our instructor was pulled out of our class and we got the afternoon class instructor. Needless to say it's been a repeat of the last time he was in. If I had to put up with this crap all the time I wouldn't be in this school. It's not acceptable that I am getting my time and money wasted because some people would rather have fun than learn.

On a positive note we did get to take apart a few carbs this week. It was cool to get a little hands on. We didn't rebuild them or anything. They were "junk parts" but they were complete (mostly) and we got to take them apart and put em back together after telling the instructor what all the parts were and what they did.

We finished covering carburetors and fuel injection systems. I got a 98 on the test tonight....or last night depending on your point of view. I only missed 1 question and the only reason I missed it was cause some asshat behind me decided it was a good day to live out his John Bonham fantasy and perform a 30 minute drum solo on the table with his fingers and pens. It was so damned distracting I checked a wrong box. I've made my frustrations known to this instructor and if this crap keeps up I'm going to main office about it. I'm not the only one either. There's about to be a civil war in the Theory 2 night class.

We started taking the notes down for the electrical theory chapter for next week and it's not gonna be a total breeze, especially if the crew keeps up the crap.

I'm still positive about the entire experience as I'm learning quite a bit and I still can't wait to really get to tear into some bikes and get dirty.
