Halfway to the weekend

Well I guess its more than halfway to the weekend, cause on friday we have a self-study day. So anyway, last weekend was great. I went to Edmonton with my parents, sister and Josh. I really did have a good time, we went to WEM on Saturday and Josh and I hung out all day, did a bit of shopping, didn't buy too much. Then on Sunday we went to the water park, which was fun as usual. So that was my weekend. On monday we had another self-study day, which was good cause we had an EMT exam on Tuesday. At first I thought I was all studied up and ready to go and then after the exam I felt like I did so crapy and thought I wouldn't get 80% which is passing mark, but then today we got our exams back and I ended up getting an 89%, do its been a pretty good day. I have got Phys Ed in a bit we're doing circits, so that will be alright I guess. Then later on tonight a bunch of the guys from school are probably going to go out for wings with two of our instructors, that will be pretty good. Tomorrow is all practical stuff so that means more IVs, I guess that means more feeling like a pincushion, oh well its not too bad. But I am going to get ready to go to phys ed, so I am out.

Going to Edmonton for the weekend

Yeah I know it really has been a while, I am sorry for that. I mean I really don't know how many people read this, but it gives me a way to write my thoughts and if anyone is interested well then they can read. So this last week has been crazy, I have been so tired every night. We've been doing industrial firefighting all week and then to top it off on Monday a ran bleachers, Wednesday I ran 8km, and on thursday I biked oh well, nobody said things should be easy. I find that my weekends always go by so quickly, I guess its because I go home almost every weekend. I really find that there is not a whole lot to do here in Vermilion on the weekends, and the only people I know are the ones I go to school with every single day, and they also like to go to the bar a lot. Myself I don't really go to the bar, I just don't have the desire to get drunk. The going home every weekend will probably slow down in the winter, so I have no idea what I am going to do out here, I'll worry about that when the time comes I guess. For now I enjoy going home to see my family and friends and every one at church on Sunday. It's still not an easy thing not having many friends out here that are believers in Christ, but I was reading a comment that someone put on my blog from a previous post, that God puts us in situations to strengthen our faith, and its so true. This wont be the first time things haven't been easy and it wont be the last, no one ever said that christianity would be easy, but it is definately worth it! I think that sometimes I focus on the things that make stuff not so easy, when I could be looking at how I could be using this for the glory of God. Well I really should be studying before I leave for Edmonton, cause I have an EMT exam on Tuesday. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Human Pincushion

Well today was good, a little painful but good. We were practicing starting IV's and giving IM and Sub-Q needles for our EMT, but I would say all in all it went pretty good. My hand is a little sore but its not too bad. So thats what I did most of the day, but then after class me and a couple of the guys I go to school with, went and joined a Yoga and Pilates class, it wasn't as bad as I thought, you know what, it was kinda good (don't tell anyone I said that)jj. Well yesterday was a long day and I didn't get too much sleep because I was working at a blood clinic all night, and then I was up early for school, so I think I am going to go off to bed. I also have swimming at 7am tomorrow so yeah I think I should go.

EMT Exam Day

So today was, well lets say interesting, we had no instructor show up and we had an exam, but we ended up writing the exam anyway and then had a whole day of self-study. So that didn't go so well, lets just say that my class sometimes has a hard time being quiet, don't get me wrong I get along with all of the guys great. One thing that is kinda hard sometimes is just that when I was in high school I had lots of friends that were christians but now in college there is only one other guy who is a christian. I know that I am not always going to be surrounded by christian friends at school or work but I will hopefully be close to friends who are christians. Thats the difference here, I don't know anyone outside of school because well I go to school, study and go to the gym. I was hoping if anyone is reading this, if maybe you would like to pray for both Tanner(The other Christian in my class) and myself, just that we could stay strong and faithful in our christian lives and focused on what God wants for out lives and maybe some of the other guys will say "hey I want that too" It would really mean a lot to me if you would be willing to do that for me.

We'll its my first time blogging

So I figured that I am always looking for something to do inbetween studying and what not, so I thought...... Hey I should create one of those blog things. Well here I am. The only problem is now I will probably spend too much time on here, and not enough time studying. Lets face it I really should be studying right now, cause I have got a big EMT test tomorrow, so yeah I guess I should get to studying so thats all for today.
