Well, that's 8 1/2 days of the 15 over with. It has been tough, but I've made it so far. I've had to spend at least 4 hours studying each day and even more when I have an exam the next day. I didn't get to bed until 2:30 this morning and was up at 6:00 to study some more. The exam wasn't really very difficult, but there was a lot we had to remember for it. 7 chapters! We have another exam on Monday which is over 10 chapters!!!

I have an interview with a camera store in Austin on Sunday for a job as a web master. Hopefully it'll go well.

Michelle and I have been talking about taking a vacation next month. I have enough air miles to get us both to the UK. We're talking about going to London and Paris. She is really looking forward to it. All I need to do is talk the airline in to giving us seats even though they say there are none available.

Anyway, back to class.

For the last 4 days, I've been attending and EMT class in College Station, TX. To be certified and work as a paid fire fighter in Texas, you must also be certified as a Basic EMT. So for 3 weeks, I've moved to Aggie Land out in the middle of nowhere to study emergency medical care. We've been in class for 4 days and we've already had 2 exams and will be having another tomorrow. This course is normally taught 2 nights a week for 4 to 6 months, but I'm taking a condensed course which is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. I've spent a lot of late nights studying. But it has paid off so far. I got an 86% (2nd highest in class - highest was 87%) on the first exam and a 92% (I think the highest) on the second. I've spent the last 4 hours studying for tomorrows exam and will probably spend another hour or 2 tonight plus an hour or 2 in the morning. We don't have an exam on Monday, so at least I'll be able to relax a bit over the weekend. I didn't think I'd really enjoy this class, but I have so far. I'm actually looking forward to the clinical internships. We have to spend 2 shifts on an ambulance and 5 in a hospital. I don't know how I'll react to the blood and guts, but I think I'll be ok. Hopefully.

Anyway, back to studying. I'll try to post a few pictures over the weekend if I can remember.
