(no subject)
Feelin a lot better from the last time I posted. Not quite 100% yet, but definitely on my way. Gonna go ahead and do my training with West Coast Ambulance this Thursday. Had to put it off cuz I was illin. Otherwise I woulda had my official first day at the new gig today. Now it looks like I'll train thu/fri and start next mon. Good stuff cuz I hate being without income. I've been back and forth conflicted about starting off with this company cuz they focus on strictly transport contracts and I really need the critical care/code 3 experience. However, as my wonderful friend Sue continues to point out, it's a jumping off point. As it is, right now I have no experience at all in the field. I have to start somewhere. I guess I just worry about getting pigeonholed, so to speak, and being stuck in that phase of EMS. But in reality, that all depends on me. And I believe enough in what I'm doing to know that I wont allow that to happen. If I'm honest with myself, my reticence comes more from the fear of change and transitioning in to something great. What if I fail? What if I succeed? All that nonsense is really what has me second guessing. But in the end, I am OK with it.
I'm sure I've posted in the past about finishing my degree, but I recently got an e-mail back from KU stating that the scholarship program for former athletes has been completed and will go into effect for Fall 06. That means I can conceivably be done at the end of this year. I spent a few hours this afternoon looking at the KU online/distance ed website trying to figure out what courses I will take in order to finish. I've already picked three out of the four classes I need to graduate. Such a weird thing to consider. I should be working on a PhD by now and I'm still talking about completing my undergraduate education. My little sister is graduating later this month. As proud of her as I am, I can't help but to feel like a bit of a tool for not having my shit together. But I digress. It's about me finishing what I've started and the idea that I will see that come to fruition by the end of the year puts a smile on my face. Regardless of other circumstances.
In other news...
I have fallen in love with the show "Grey's Anatomy".
I just borrowed the first season on DVD from Sarah.
Really good stuff.
I feel the need to purge a lot of things (including people) from my life.
Is that just me?
Is it some kinda "spring cleaning" instinct?
Anyone?
I've decided to get a membership to the aquatic center over at SMC and start lap swimming for a good cardio workout. That and I think I need to join a gym. Val says I can jump on her LA fitness account for not that much. But I have a few friends who have the hook up at Gold's Venice. Not yet sure which way to go.... hmmmmmm
Gotta go get my learn on. Challa!
