kiss me with your cherry lipstick

      Woohoo! Guess what... I found a career that I'm interested in! I want to be a paramedic! I just signed up for the information session in Parksville on the eighteenth! Then, while I'm there, I'm going to talk to someone about this other program to be an EMR, which is "emergency medical responder." That program runs all May and covers all the prequisites that I need for the PCP program. (Primary care paramedic) So I can take the EMR course right away, but to sign up for the PCP course, the one thing I won't have will be a class 4 liscense, so I'll have to wait a year and a half to sign up for that, but that's ok cause I'll have lots of time to get things in order.

      The EMR course is in Parksville. The PCP course, I can take in Victoria, Parksville, or New West, I think I'd prefer to go to New West, but we'll see where things go between now and then. Then I could move to the mainland! That'd be sweet! But yea, so I need my class four, and I would also need to start weight training and such cause there's a physical assessment where you need to be able to do several things that I'd probably have a bit of trouble doing. Especially the 1.6 mile run. I might die at the moment trying to do that, so I'll have to start running again. But once I do the EMR program, I can work for a private ambulance service! Wouldn't that be so cool!? That's definately a lot more than nine bucks an hour. But yea, if I decide to do the PCP course in New West, I'd have a year and a half to get everything together that I need to move out! It would be excellent! Courses are offered part time and full time, so... pretty much this is excellent. If all goes well with the information session, I should be signed up for the EMR course very soon. I have to get a textbook and blah blah blah. Then I'm gonna head over to the closest ambulance dispatcher (which is right down the road) and see if I can go on a few ride alongs. That's my news. I'm out to go show my dad that sweet bed I saw.
