Another flight?

Yeah baby! I am rackin’ up those frequent flier miles! When I fly somewhere, I make sure it counts!

This weekend, I’m off to the great state of Connecticut (via Providence Rhode Island) to see my folks and on Saturday night I’ll be zipping up to Portsmouth New Hampshire to see some old friends from my radio days.

Lucky for me it’s a LONG flight so I’ll have plenty of time to study my notes for the Paramedic midterm coming up on Thursday.  So far my quiz average is a 93 and I’m feeling pretty good about all of the material. Of course, I occasionally confuse easy stuff like the roles of potassium and sodium. I think I know it inside out, then when the quiz come, I totally blank. That’ll be fixed with this round of studying. Promise.

School is really clicking. Every Wednesday morning, our lab group, “PM lab,” meets for a couple of hours prior to the actual lab session. We dig out the gear and practice lines, rhythm recognition and all of the other skills that will help us work together as a team. ACLS mega codes are a few weeks away and we want to be a machine by that time. It was a great idea. We also meet as a whole class every Thursday for a couple of beers following the last lecture to defuse and unwind.  It’s a good group of people. There’s some very smart folks in that room. It’s a real treat to be in the same group with these guys and gals.

Okay. I’m off to finish packing my stuff for the next few days. See you after the weekend. And to all my friends in Fire and EMS, be safe.
