We've Come A Long Way, Baby.

So. Here we are. It's been just over a month since my last post. Time to pull the cobwebs down (again) and get up to date.

Well I literally have no idea where to even start. So in a nutshell:

Traveled to Moncton to finish up my preceptorship (had a blast), wrote my final for the Paramedic Academy in Moncton, anxiously waited for my mark, passed it, passed my scenario testing in Fredericton, then prepared for my Paramedic Association exam, wrote it, anxiously waited for another mark, passed it, saw Paul McCartney in Halifax (that's another story altogether, you have no idea), went through the two day "hiring process" (just another way of saying "more testing"), and got my starting schedule for my job in Saint John, which I start this Saturday. Oh and I forgot to mention that I did all of this while moving into a new apartment.

Nervous about the job? To say the least, yes. But not so much about the job itself, just working in a new city at a new hospital with new people. That's something I'll get used to fast, I assume. Not much else I can say about it right now, really. My brain still hasn't regrouped from the mush it had become over the last few weeks. Still a bit scatterbrained but a few days off has done me well I think. I may be insanely busy over the next week or so, but I look forward to passing on some good stories as a rookie paramedic, none of this student whining "exams, scenarios, blah blah blah..".

Until then.

Like Peas In A Pod.

Like peanut butter and raspberry jam on warm toast.
Mmmmm...
