It has been a very busy fall here.

Work, snakes, rats, EMT class, Firefighter Essentials class until april....

I have to admit, I was very stressed during the morning of the test. I had one small drink that morning, and made about 5 trips to the little boys room. I am happy to report though, that both myself and girlfriend passed the first time!

I am now in the Essentials class. I know I have to stick it out, but it will be rough. They make you read ahead in the book, and do a workbook. The book is hard to follow, (poorly written) and the workbooks are never even looked at. During the class, it is very monotone, and a lot of "Death by Powerpoint".

Does anyone alse have similar stories? Did your training go better or worse?

Overall, I am happy I am doing this. Knowledge is power.
