Whew!

School started again this week and two days in, it’s already a lot of work.

The A and P class is going to be killer. I can tell already. Just the number of power point slides in the review lectures have been staggering. I can’t wait until we get into some new material. Right now it’s just memorization of the body’s regions and planes. Stuff I already knew. Still, when I look at the material, it’s daunting. And this quarter is just the Anatomy. Next quarter is Physiology. Busy, busy, busy.

The coordinated studies class is interesting. It’s half English, a quarter communications and a quarter women’s studies. Lots of seminar discussion and group work. It seems like it’ll be intense, but enjoyable. Diana Ma, my English prof for my last two classes is co-teaching, so it was nice to see a familiar face.

I’ll be heading to EMT class in a few minutes. It starts at 6pm, so I thought I’d take a couple of minutes to blog and walk the dogs and eat a sammich before heading out.

I was at the Red Cross today, exchanging Manikin faces. It’s nice that they clean faces for you, otherwise I’d be one busy guy. The whole crew there is just so nice. I’ve never meet a more accommodating and pleasant group of people in my life. I guess that’s the difference between the for profit and non-profit world. It’s not about the almighty buck, it’s all about the mission. Nice stuff. It’s good to be involved in a humanitarian organization without any secular overtones. It’s one of the things I like best about the ARC. Of course, I also appreciate the work that was put into developing pedagogical structure of the class curriculum. It makes teaching there a truly enjoyable experience.

OK. Dog walk time.
