Test Taking
Bored...
Sitting at school waiting to take my trauma / pulmonary practical final. This is my last test of the semester. I can't wait to be done. I am forecasting large amounts of beer drinking tonight at the nearest establishment that sells anything even remotely alcohol-like. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.
Paramedic school has given me some gray hairs. Everyone here that is sitting around waiting their turn to take the last test looks like they haven't slept in weeks. I am the oldest guy in my class of 15 by about 3 years, and I am only 32. Sometimes I think I have an advantage over them. Looking at us now, all sitting here wringing our knuckles, hoping that we pass, knowing that if we don't we all have to take the entire semester over... we look like shit; like we are dying.
I didn't think that paramedic school would be so hard. Fire Science was way easy. It was even an AS... sort of an actual degree. Paramedic AAS... it sounded easy. It is by far and away the most difficult thing I have undertaken. I kinda wish it was a four year degree... there's just too much information to absorb in two years.
It's almost over though... I am next. The practical takes all of 10 minutes. The longest 10 minutes of the semester. God I hope I don't screw up my drug dosages...
