i finally finished my First Aid/CPR instructor course today. i still have to do a sit-in with a two day class, and then a co-teach for a weekend and i'll be able to teach classes by myself. whee!
the course was a little nerve wrecking, but very interesting. I learned so much from my instructor. she's this woman who has instructed first aid for over 30 years and she completely loves it. she's enthusiastic and makes it very interesting and definitely made me aware of how important first aid is. after all, first aid covers everything from choking to CPR to how to treat impaled objects. they are all skills you wish you'll never have to use, but really, it's better to be safe than sorry, no?emergencies are traumatic enough, but it'd be even more scary if i had no idea of what the hell i'm doing.
i'm not sure how many classes i would teach if i had a full time job, but i guess for now, at least this is something.
on another note, i've been kinda down lately. i feel like i have nothing to look forward to and usually i do. whether it be a show downtown, getting together for a birthday thing with friends, a week off during school or even something as silly as a weekend off after 5 days of work, there was always something. now i just watch time go by and realize that the longer i'm in this employment limbo, the more pathetic i feel. bah. and i have an CSC exam in a few days. i guess i can try to look forward to my test. cuz then at least i wouldn't have to study anymore. yuck.
time for: dinner. then hopefully something relaxing.
