the doctors out, but i know something!

Finally! I have in my hands my NREMT certification and my Maine EMS license! Thank you mail man! My pretty little certification Some swag! I don't know what I'm going to put it on. I might get a spring coat and put it on that. Last but not lease my NREMT card!  I'm also signed up for my Paramedic class in September which is 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.

Finally.      After over a year of waiting I'm officially working for an Ambulance service.  I'm now a proud Employee of Delta Ambulance. At least that's what my badge says.      So I've spent the last two full days getting "Oriented" to the new job. Also known as filing out a tree worth of paper, having every Ofiice/Important person introduce themselves, tell us what they do and how you can call them 24/7/365.      It wasn't the most fun thing in the world but it was informational and helpful to meet my fellow N00Bs. I'm also glad to get a chance to talk with some of the EMTs and Medics that have been working for Delta for up to TWENTY years! That's a friggin long time...    I actually start my "Ride Time" or basically a beginner test to see if I'm up to snuff on technique and get me familiar with the area. To be painfully honest... I'm stupid nervous. I know the technical skillz, but half of them I'...

     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...
