So tonight I took the final test for my EMT course... and absolutely blew the class average out of the water!! That will look good on a medical school application if anything does. Still, I'd say that I had less real world experience than most of the class so in the end the grade doesn't matter that much ( Read more... )

So, my life for about the past week have been filled by clinicals. It is an amazing experience, and is possibly the only thing that I have ever done which I can visualize myself doing day after day without tiring. At least, that's how it seems right now ( Read more... )

So summer marches on. By now I'm busy enough that I don't have time to be bored, which is actually a refreshing change.

So last night I had a dream. It was like one of those action movies that are supposed to have a plot, but it is really just a man wandering around until another group of bad guys jumps out from an alley so he can kick ass. In fact, that was about all it was- I wandered around and kicked ninja ass. Except I was wearing my purple mummy-type ( Read more... )

So, I'm back in Texas. I am so tired of packing and unpacking and repacking, but it must continue. I'm also fairly tired of both walking and driving, having done 30 of the the first and 1400 of the latter ( Read more... )

I am done with finals. What's more, I think I my GPA for the semester is a wonderful 4.0. Life is beautiful, and I am King of All I Survey ( Read more... )

So I said I'd update on Pat's eljay. Ah, where to begin ( Read more... )
