Class

Well, my A&P lab was canceled this morning, due to rising flood waters. Nothing to do with the campus, mind you; the Professor was stymied by the floods. There was just no way he could get to the school, short of swimming. This quarter I’ve noticed the atmosphere in the lab is a lot more laid back. Our class is much smaller, 18 down from over 40 … and the students that remain are the smart ones. It’s obvious that Dr. H is enjoying it, too. There have been some really good question asked in lecture and you can tell that he appreciates the fact that we’re all interested in A&P. By this point, we should be.

Now, if we can just get him to the school. Maybe we can all chip in and buy him a kayak.

Anyway, tonight is #2 of Emergency Response, the “first responder” course the the Red Cross offers. Jane taught the first day of CPRO on Tuesday, which was fine with me. I’ve been feeling like crap for the last few days and think I’m on the verge of catching a cold. With any luck this won’t evolve from a simple cold into a case of the “everlasting winter crud”.

Things otherwise have been quiet. I’m still waiting for the State EMS office to send me some certs, and I’m compiling all of the stuff that needs to go into the medic school application package for Fall. As a secondary plan, If I don’t get accepted into the medic program I’m seriously considering RT school. I’ve always been very interested in Respiratory Care and think that degree and cert, coupled with Paramedic, would be valuable on a CCT crew.

I’m still working on the weight loss thing. In the past few weeks I’ve reduced the amount that I eat, the number of calories that I take in every day, eliminated all of the junk/sugar laden crap that I was eating and am getting back to the gym. I want to be around 200 lbs by June.
