Wow! Well I guess it's been a while since I've updated my blog. Just don't have enough time or enough to write about to be honest! :) Oh well.
Well my EMT class is going great. Love love love it! I went to ECMC (for those of you who don't live around here it's a hospital that specializes in trauma, burn, rehabilitation and cardiac care) I was really dreading it cause I just wasn't sure of what I would see but let me tell you....it was awesome!!! Loved it!!! I did see some disturbing stuff but it's all part of the job. I had a great time and learned alot. I missed a class about 2 weeks ago so as my "penalty" I had to write a 3 page paper on "strokes". I didn't know anything at all about strokes but I just wrote about what I learned in class and what I learned from my textbook. Well I turned it in for the next class and was really embarassed about it cause I just knew that the instructor would think it was humerous since I knew so little about the subject. Well he wrote me a note telling me that was the best paper he ever read on "strokes" and that with my permission he was going to use it from here on out in all his classes when he teaches on strokes!! I couldn't believe it!!! He read it in front of my class and told the story and everyone clapped & cheered and of course my face was 3 different shades of red...haha!! I was so embarassed but so extremely proud at the same time. It boosted my confidence just a bit. And also we recently had our midterm exam for the class. There were 110 questions and I got a 100% so that was really exciting cause I studied so hard for it. I know that probably sounded braggy but I had to share cause it was exciting to me and since this is my blog...I can write whatever I want!!!! :) I still have so much to learn and compared to what I need to know, I don't know much at all but I am learning and I am loving it. Just trying to get as much hands on experience as I possibly can. Luckily I have an awesome group of teachers who are willing to take the extra time to help anyone who wants help. They have made themselves available just about any time and that makes this whole process so much easier.
So anyway....that's about it. Sam's work has been steady, thankfully. So between that and the fire hall he's been keeping very very busy but it's a good busy. My job is going okay. Everyone seems to be sick right now and since I work in a pharmacy....that keeps us in business!!! My boss has been wonderful about my work schedule. I need lots of time to study and she has been extremely accomodating and for that I am very greatful because otherwise I would not be able to spend the time I do studying and doing the homework, etc. And Mogley....is just Mogley. Cutest dog in the world!! What can I say!!??
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has a wonderful Christmas season.
