Not wear jeans, t-shirt, work jacket and baseball cap with my hair braided back:
Evidently I look like a boy. As in "Good morning, sir, how can I ... Oh, I mean, good morning, miss. Can I help you with your bag?"

Almost the end...
Meeting up with the last of my classmates that have to pass the Readiness exam today, to help them study. They have one chance to pass it (and the class) and since passing is required to take the NREMT-B we're gonna knuckle down.
Tomorrow I have my A&P final, so I need to review that as well. Yay for action potentials and calcium (has to do with muscles, I know that much) and the endocrine system. But hey! Then it's break!!
I can't wait to dig my snowboard out of storage, and take Shortie sledding. I'm so EXCITED!

Busy week
Hey! It's Saturday! Welcome to the weekend!
Monday was fun. I scored well on my last chapters test of my EMT book (89%!!) then spent AAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day Tuesday reviewing for the skills practical of my registry exam. My class and I (six of us total) down a 12 pack of Mountain Dew, a 6 pack of pepsi, untold number of sodas/energy drinks from the vending machine and a bag full of candy and snacks. It was fun. Then we took our test - and we ALL passed. Even me!
Wednesday was the highlight of the week, with three major tests (one of which was scheduled for next week!!) but it ended well. I passed my anatomy lab practical on nervous and endocrine tissue, despite thinking that all the slides looked exactly the same. I also passed my surprise final, which wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be, and it saves me a trip into school next week.
But the best part of all? I rocked my Readiness Exam for EMT. We had to have a 70% minimum to pass. I took the cake with 84% and then we all went to Applebees for happy hour.
I think I slept most of Thursday after watching LotR and other movies all night at a friends. Thursday night was a repeat as we finished LotR FotR and TTT, then watched Clash of the Titans (twice, as we got distracted talking and it replayed) and crashed out to King Arthur sometime around dawn.
Then I found out my little brother, who I haven't seen in more than a year, is going to come TONIGHT to see me. Then I'm giving him a ride out to his rig...can you say ROAD TRIP?
All in all, it's been a lovely-if slightly stressful week. Only one more test and it's Christmas Break!

No shit, really?
Prehospital Emergency Care, 9th Edition
Chapter 41, Page 1347
"The ambulance is the vehicle that brings care to the patient in times of emergency and transports the patient to a medical receiving facility for follow-up care. It is a crucial part of the EMS system."
Really? REALLY??? 1347 pages in and you're just telling me what an ambulance is?
Oh, and EMS system is redundant.
