Okay, new plan. Martin reminded me yesterday that not only Linde and Alette and Samantha are coming to visit, but he as well, in mid- to late August. (You might end up helping me move into La Mancha, LOL...) Anyway, the EMT thing is just not going to work. Correction - the First Responder thing is not going to work. The EMT program would fit in nicely, but I'm just too busy in that time window between 23 July and 23 August - I can't even squeeze in 40 measly hours of prerequisite training. Bah.
That sucks. And I can't take the EMT program in the spring. If I could, there would be no problem, but that semester it's given in the daytime and it'll conflict with my other UF classes - it has to be fall. Bah again. Oh well, it's not like the Santa Fe people answered me anyway. I guess I'll just see if I can take one of the First Responder courses at UF during the fall semester and go from there. Then I've at least got it out of the way. Who knows, maybe if I did the very first one, they'd let me take First Responder and EMT "overlapping" or something...
Hmm, and the early graduation thing just reminded me of something else - that I have to start looking harder at grad schools over here... That was always the plan, since there are - duh - tons more language opportunities in Europe than in the US, and plus grad school is WAY CHEAPER over here, something I didn't find out until recently...
Oh, that's another perk to the EMT thing: it's something I can do in the US as well as over here... being an interpreter or whatever, you're usually dependent on the language(s) of the country you reside in, but I can't think of a single country that wouldn't need emergency medical personnel...
Everything's changing really fast these days, seems to me. I suddenly have to find a grad school and a 'career' and all a lot sooner than I thought I'd have to. But if I were to take a lot of crap classes and drag it out until 2006, I wouldn't feel any more ready then than I do now. Bite the bullet and go for it, that's what I say.
Off to class...
