First week of the new job was brutal. I am so not use to being a crew member on a machine all day. I'm use to running it... Basically all day long I lift 43 pound blocks of cheese at a fast pace! There really is no down time. Your working at a fast pace all day. My right arm, wrist, and hand are sore...

Its an instant pay raise for me and I start today! Pretty excited. There are a few down sides about the job. Going to miss a bunch of my Fire Fighter meetings and...

Getting tired of school now! My EMS class is a little difficult and didn't do to great on today's test. Guess I'll just have to work and study harder. I seem to be loosing interest....

Just have to keep at it and hope the next few months go quickly. Its for a good cause! Nothing more rewarding than saving some ones life!

Had a EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) test today! I was soooooo worried about it! I am bad at tests and remembering names and such.... I thought for sure I was going to fail. Had to have 46 out of 60 correct. Get my test back and I see a 45 on the front! My heart dropped. Then I realized that was 45 out of 50...

Started my First Responder class. On the first day i had old books, so I had to go get new ones. Going to be way way too much reading I think! At least I know the teacher and one of the other students I had taking my Fire Fighter classes with. Class is small, only 4-5 people! Should have a lot of one-on-one teaching and...

Later that day I moved out of my apartment into a house. A whole house to myself. Renting it now, but the owners said they would do a rent to own thing when I am ready.

I also joined up with the...
