Basic School at Academy.... is OVER!!! :-D
Yay! It was the single most longest week of my entire life. If I had to listen to legal woman too one more class I would die. My sympathy goes out to the 105th Basic guys that have to listen to her on a daily basis. (cuz i'd be done!). So we finished and had to get 100 on everything and I did... and the practical was so freakin' easy that when i was done they said i did everything right and they didn't have any suggestions for me. Which is cool i guess.
Anyways. So they also told us that drinking is bad and not to do it as a stress reliever. This is why as soon as we finished class we packed all our shit up and headed to Northern VA and DC to go to Georgetown and party at a bar on the water with Tess, Danny, and one of his friends. LOL. Yeah... we were quite funny that night. Also, i WISH I had a camera... we saw a police cruiser getting towed. CLASSIC!
So yesterday was the FF challenge in Manassas... and i can't imagine doing all of that in full gear (or even at all without full gear on). WOW. I guess it takes a hell of a lot of training to do that.... i don't think that I'd be able to train that much to do it. Crazy. Then my arm started really killing me, which it still does today, and i think i have carpal tunnel or something else like that... and I can't go get it looked at for another month. So if you have painkillers please send them to me. :)
Last night we partied with the 105th Basic boys who will be officers at HPD in 12 weeks. Fun times... there was a campfire and everything but i felt like i was getting beat up by mosquitoes and then we almost couldn't find our way out of there... lol. All in all, it was a fun weekend.
I've gotta work tomorrow, and write a paper for Dr. Frysinger for my research today and work on it throught the week. That's due the end of this week. Yuup. I can't wait for the research part of this project to be completely done. So... hopefully this grant will be extended! We'll see!
This week too I did testing for Augusta Co. EOC. It was really random and not too hard except I spelled a few words wrong on it... i think i spelled rondezveu like rondeveoux. Oh well. Anyways it'd be cool to work there as P/T if I could. (and then I would get to do Fire/Rescue like I originally wanted!). Yayness.
Alrighty... enough randomness. I work daylight for the next few days... so if I don't update that's why. I'll be off on Wed.
TTYL!
