News

So I got my grade in biology. I ended up with a C+ in the class, so I passed *insert monotoned Yay* This brings my once shining 4.0 down to a 3.5. So much for perfectionism. So I am bummed, I knew I would be, but actually seeing it in print is pain staking!

The training went well last night. I ended up with a sucking chest wound and a leg wound. The had a mulage kit (sp?) with fake injuries, my chest wound had a pump with fake blood, and actually made a bubbly sound. Over all the firefighters and emts worked well together. They cut both of my shirts off, (I knew that was coming, I work with these guys... so I wore a bikkini top haha out smarted that) They even got our hospital in on it, and had the emts release us to nurses who assessed our injuries ordered x-rays and blood work... yada yada blah blah blah

I am going to Margaritaville tonight... I have not spent time with Tara in forever, so we are going to head down to orlando have a few drinks, a good time, relax, listen to music, dance....

Then come rain, flood, hurricane, lightning Larry and I are going kayaking this weekend! I can't wait!
