Well if no one else will..

So no one has updated their blog since I checked them all last so I'll just have to update my own. Things are more of the same down here. The messiness of our apartment is getting worse exponentially as school is being so relentless. I had a test a week ago, a test Monday, two tests tomorrow and another test next week. OH BOY!

In none school news (of which there is very little). We went home last weekend. Brett went fishing with his brothers and I went to a ski patrol refresher with my sister. It was oh so much fun to hang out with her and just be sisters.

It was also fun seeing all my friends from ski patrol. Let me clear up some possible confusion also. You are correct, there is no snow yet, and yes we've already started ski patrol. But you must understand we do more that just ski. We also do first aid and that takes some refreshing, no snow necessary. Last Saturday's refresher was for the OEC (outdoor emergency care) instructors who will be teaching at the regular refresher on the 11th. This is always the better refresher because there are a lot less people and they are the people that I know the best and enjoy seeing the most. Now to toot my own horn. Being at school I really don't do as much first aid as I would like and I don't get the practice I used to. So I was a little nervous about getting in there and taking charge of one of the scenarios (mock accidents) they had us do. Finally after watching a few other people be PIC (person in charge) and thinking oh they could have done this or that better I finally volunteered to be the PIC. I was pretty nervous and felt pretty out of practice but when it was all said and done everyone told me how good I did and that they'd be on my first aid team anytime. That made me feel pretty good.

So now the post is over night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening steal across the sky.... And I need to study...

I would definitly trust you to perform emergency first aid on me if I got hurt doing a totally sick trick on the mountain. Although, since I am a chicken when it comes to jumping on skies, it would probably be an accidental trick that you would be rescuing me from.

I am SO glad you posted! I have been checking your blog often...all the while wishing that I could peer into your hectic engineering centered life! Although I miss school a LOT, I don't miss the craziness! I wished I had seen you guys while you were here.
