The End is Near!
I thought I would finally get around to making my first post of the new year, yeah that's right the first post of the year. Everybody keeps asking me what's new with me and I have only one stock answer....Not much. That is the honest to god truth. I go to class and I go on ride along, that's about it. I have had three days off since the beginning of April, one was just a random day and the other two were for Dman's wedding (thanks Dan for giving me an excuse to take a couple of days off). The wedding was awesome and I am glad I could make it. It was nice to see the crew again and make a couple of new friends.
I can't complain too much about school. It has been hard but fun at the same time. The last quarter has been a lot more hands on and we have been doing cool stuff like learning how to do central IV lines and surgical airways(trachyotomys). The really scary part is that we are done with classes. I have finals next week and then I am done with paramedic classes and just have to finish up my ride along this summer and the national exam is on August 12th and 13th.
There has been a bit of extracurricular stress that I could have done without though. The move was not something I planned but worked out pretty well. I am in a much better house that is a lot more relaxing. Right about the same time my 4runner crapped out on me and I had to do a quick diagnoses. It turned out to only be the water pump and an hour later it was up and running again. There was still a vacuum issue though and that took some searching to figure out and I think I just finally got it fixed, keep your fingers crossed.
Here is the best thing though...I got a letter on Monday from financial aid. It basically said sorry but we ran out of money to give out (loans included) and you will need to look elsewhere for money. I think that should work out okay though because I am already getting half of my loans from Sallie Mae anyway so I will just need to up the amount on those and it should be all good. I hope they find some more money for fall because most of my package is made up of grant...That's right, free money...woooo. I am starting to get a little excited about graduation in the fall, after this summer I will only need 3 more credits to get my BS.
I will try and be a little more diligent in the posting...
