I finally found a Wi Fi cafe!! My excuse for not having updated in a while is the fact that i've just moved and still haven't gotten internet in my apartment yet. I know, I've been slacking.
Anyways, so here I am. Aside from work, which has been great so far, I'm still taking my EMT classes - and i'm STILL waiting to affiliate somewhere. I have my paperwork taken care of at this one station in southern maryland, but paperwork takes a while so I've been bugging them. Hopefully that will all go through sometime soon and I'll get voted in. I've also been riding with an EMS rig called 899. It's a ghost station in a way. We have no firehouse or anything, we just run calls. I'm not sure how it works, but I feel like we have been stepping on the toes of the other ambulances when we randomly pull up into their station. EMS is EMS though, right?
Now as far as my to-do list. I'm still stuck on the page entitled, What The Hell am i Supposed to do About Classes? As I mentioed before, my parents have been pushing me to go and get my masters and i know if i tell them about my med school plans, they'd just laugh. I havent even told my dad about my EMT class. I know, it seems evil, but I know him and I want something to be "my own" for a change without him telling me how much of a bone head I am. This EMT thing is my own baby. My own project.
And so is my med school pursuit.
I dont have time to shadow anyone at the moment, but I think that the experience I'm getting riding the ambulance is definitely making up for that. It all comes down to the grades though. In the most ridiculous of circumstances, I can get my masters and take my pre-req courses at the same time? I dont know. That sounds like a lot going on.
One step at a time or I"ll just trip again.
Maybe this is all meant to be? Not finishing my second go-round of pre-req attempts at home? Moving to DC? Getting this job in Baltimore? Being all alone again? Having time to face myself and figure out how I"m going to get what I really want?
Hopefully I'll have internet this week. I'm thinking of getting one of those wireless thingies that I can just plug into my laptop and be done with it.
