SAT, GED, and EMT.

-
     So one thing to know about Homeschoolers, mainly Un-schoolers like me is we don't take test well. Why? Well in our style of study we don't go to a lecture, write a paper, take a test, and move on. We immerse our self into the subject until we master what we want to know; Life is our test, every day our world challenges the knowledge we absorb. No test, no papers. Now in the "real" world, I think this style of learning is very effective. However, in the academic world... Test are very important, it's what they base who you are off. you're SAT, GPA, MCAT if you want to be a doctor like me. All these test you take to gauge you're knowledge, how quickly you learn, and how well you can take test. Seeing as I want to be a Doctor and I've never had an official test or class until two years ago... yea, now I have to cram... A lot. I signed up for the SAT on May 5th, I've got decent reading and writing skills, but my mathematics is lacking to say the least.... I'm looking for GED classes, because most schooled want a GED if you are homeschooled, Which is fine, I understand and colleges want to know if you have any experience with the material they are going to present to you.
     Luckily I just had an interview with Delta Ambulance, I think I did very well in my interview. So I hope to get hired, then I can really start working EMS (or as I've heard it called Earn Money Studying). I fully expect to do well not only in my upcoming EMS career, But also on my SAT and GED.
     I've decided to take this year to work, save money for my wedding, college, emergency's, and cars. I want to apply to University of Maine at Orono to start Fall, 2013. I would like to start this fall but I started working on the application/testing process to late. Oops.
     Well, I've got studying to do. I'll keep everyone updated... If I do good.

It will be interesting to try and manage work, school, and life but i'm excited for the challenge. I would be interested to hear some poor medic student stories if People have them.

Reading 2014: Peter Pan.

-
Wow. What a fun book . At 200 pages it's a quick read. However! The book still covers a lot not seen in the Disney movie, shocker right? Well, I'm sure most everyone has seen the Disney movie of Peter Pan. So the plot of the book was used for the movie. What I enjoyed about the book so much more is the narrator acts like a living entity in the story! Suppose, to make her happy, we whisper to her in her sleep that the brats are coming back. They are really within two miles of the window now, and flying strong, but all we need whisper is that they are on the way. Let's. It is a pity we did it, for she has started up, calling their names; and there is no one in the room but Nana. ~ Peter Pan, Pg 188. It makes you feel like you're a ghost, quietly following the stories and adventures of Peter, Wendy, and the Lost boys. Only rarely whispering into their world, When you do though... Bone chilling. Even just reading that the narrator is doing it pulls you that much tight...

60 Hours a week.

Hello. My name is Nicholas. I work for a private Ambulance. Now that I am fully oriented I work 60 hrs a week. I couldn't be happier, or more tired. I'm making major bank. ------------------------------------------      Anyways.... So I'm working Delta for real now and It's both fun and tiring. I'm working nights on the BLS truck, I get to take care of your sweet hearted granny!..... And your crazy ass uncle that's a Vietnam vet... so it's a fair trade. After a week I was on Reddit EMS  and they had a good post about gear guys carry. pretty standard info. Good stethoscope, trauma shears, pen. well  I have all of those... but it's a lot to keep in your pockets and when you're trying to catch a quick nap  it sucks to have shears stabbing your quad. So I went and ordered a molle drop leg with some pouches. I'll see how it goes and post pics and such when I get everything in and running.      Now I know I should take some ...
