Clio has a set that just went up. That's what Second Chance Sundays are for, people. When the decision-makers at SG make a decision and shoot down a set that you think should go up, voice your opinion. Personally, I think Downpour is a prime example of what SCS is for. Go tell Clio you think she's beautiful.
In other news, the best part about MLK/Civil Rights Day for me is, it's a school holiday. It makes the weekend longer, and gives me another day to study. Paramedic school is long and soaks up pretty much all of my time, but it's absolutely worth it. We're learning a lot of stuff. Fortunately, I think I'm a little ahead on some parts of the learning curve because I did Intermediate, and we learned some of the drugs and rhythms, and stuff like that. Other people in this class went from Basic right into medic school, and I think it hurts them a little, but we've got a good group of people, and I have no doubt some good medics are going to come out this class.
And, as a final thing, just a little bit of "in case you didn't know" stuff. You'd be surprised how many people know what "9/11" is, in respects to September 11, 2001, but have no idea what "343" means. On 9/11, over 3,000 people lost their lives in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on American Airlines Flights 11 and 77, and United Flights 93 and 175. 343 of those lives were FDNY personnel. So when you see firefighter helmets or other firefighter gear that has the number "343" on it, it's in tribute to those fallen brothers.
A lot of bad stuff happened on 9/11, and it seems like everyone is ready and willing to forget about it. Don't. Seriously, that would be like forgetting D-Day, Pearl Harbor, and stuff like that. Most of our grandparents are old enough to have either been a part of that, or been involved in that era. Forgetting their sacrifices and the lives lost in WWII and other major conflicts would be just as wrong as forgetting the tragedy of September 11. Bad stuff happens around the world every day. The only way it's going to get better is if we don't forget, and we all make a change. Stand up, be proud of who and what you are, and help make the world a better place for those who will come after us.
And for anyone who thinks they may ever end up in medic school, I'll tell you a story about how to remember the doses for Valium and stuff. It's actually a good way to remember it. You'll never forget it.
