Busy, Busy, Busy.....

So it's been a while since i've last posted, mostly due to me just being so overwhelmingly busy what with hw, and tests, and labs, and programs and EMT class.....urgh

In retrospect I probably should have made better choices when it came to class registration and other stuff.

for instance taking 3 upper level math courses (2 being the prerequisites of the other) was Not a good idea (Modern Algebra kicks my ass)
and on top of that a Physics course... 2 labs, and our humanities seminar course

and then throw in my EMT class on top of that, and you're looking at overkill, the EMT class by itself takes up 6-14 to even 22 hours in a week, for just the class! not even counting studying for tests... running shifts for local ambulances all to take the State Exam in April (I've been in this class since October)

that's why about a week ago, I made a painful decision ...to quit EMT class, I figured that it was just not worth the impact it was having on my Grades, my sleeping pattern (which may never be saved) or my health. it sucks to be quitting now, with only a week left till the exam, but I'm confident I made the right choice. this way I have time to focus on my classes during this last month of the semester, while not having to juggle that and ride times (which are 12 hour shifts....) and hw, and studying.

I'd like to think that, college has taught me something really important: the ability to make tough choices, as much as I'd like to continue with the EMT class this semester, I really don't have enough time. so it came down to a choice, my GPA or EMT certification, and do feel I made the right decision, I just wish I realized this sooner, maybe things wouldn't have come to the point that they have.

So, I gotta get back to work, and then sleep, gotta get up for lab in the morning (oh joy)
