Feelins':  accomplished
Yea it's been awhile, to say I haven't posted her for quite some time.
Last time in the life and times of Mc Me I had finished my practical exams and was slatted to take my written in a few days. Well that time has come and gone, and then some more time has come and gone lol. The good news is I passed my NREMT written evaluation so now I am a licensed EMT Basic. I found the good news maybe a week or two ago and put in two applications so far to Murray-Calloway Co Hospital for the ambulance service...haven't heard back from either one so I'm gonna call probably tomorrow or friday and see if they let volunteers ride, just so I don't lose any of my skills. It's times like these I wish I was back in Louisville, with me going through Lifesavers I would have had a job in NO TIME. But apparently only one guy here has heard of lifesavers, and that was the one I talked to when I was inquiring about a position. Apparently no one else has :P I still have Paducah (which I wouldn't really mind working for them, they have some NICE ambulances) and Marshall Co that I can apply to....but that's it for this area, three ambulance services. It's freaking ridiculous. So I may or may not be using my EMT license, although I could possibly see if any factories around here use EMT's as first aid peoples. Probably owuld have to do some OSHA stuff or hazmat training to do that though.
In other news school has been going awesome, I feel a little bad because I pretty much skipped classes from Tuesday and on, we have Fall break this friday so everyones all pissy because they only get a 3 day weekend but I've had a 5 day weekend :P On the same token though I feel bad because I missed a lab, I missed a chemistry lecture, I missed Beahan talking about Sparta (I love Ancient Greece) and of course German, pretty much feel guilty missing all my classes, except english we don't do shit in that class. But on the bright side I'm doing VERY well in my classes, I've had 1 test in Civ (unsure of the grade there), 1 in German (got an A), 2 in Chemistry (c on the first unsure on the second) and nothing in English. So I'm doing pretty good I SHOULD be able to do A's and B's and MAYBE a C (chemistry most likely).
Yesterday and today have been interesting days, I finally got all my loan money that was supposed to have gone through a long time ago, all 2560$ of it. I had originally planned on buying a laptop but since Michelle and I decided to go to Europe next year I'm going to delay the laptop, instead I'm letting myself spend about half of it and the rest is going in CD's to earn interest till we go to Europe.
So far the biggest things I've bought with the money were a Vacuum cleaner (ours died), a Xbox 360, and an entertainment center. The 360 and the entertainment center were nightmares. First off I buy a decent entertainment center because we've been putting our TV on our coffee table. And there wasn't really room on the table for the TV and all the 'entertainment stuff' so it takes us around.....4 1/2 hours to put this goddamn thing together. Looks fucking amazing but took forever to peice together. Once we got all that crap put together I wire up the TV, surround sound, new xbox 350, ps2, etc. Get everything looking great with wiring and shit, scoot this giant entertainment system back and power on the 360......nothing. boot screen.
My BRAND NEW xbox 360 out of the box starts fragging (for those that don't know fragging is the term for a defective xbox product...don't know why it's called that) so I check the error message it,s error E68 which is harddrive failure. Ok so lets find out why, I pull the harddrive and boot it up...works fine. Ok whatever I'll just leave it off and play a little dead rising and then take it back tomorrow (which I did today) so I play around with dead rising then I go to bed.
Today we broke down the Xbox and took it back to walmart, it took them about 30 minutes to do the exchange and we finally take our new 360 and start walking around the store just picking up random things to buy (things we need, not completely random :P) and we pick up a new vaccuum cleaner. Glory Glory our fucking floors are clean now. We haven't had a vaccuum with two cats and shitty carpet for about 3 months now. So the floors were COVERED in balls of lint, fur, carpet fibers, etc. So I vaccuum the floors, I have to empty the canister 5 times. Count em, 5 freaking times our floors were so dirty. So yea, we got clean floors now and things have been going good.
I can't think of much more happening so I'll cut this long entry :P |
