The life,times, troubles, toils, and tribulations of Raymond.

 
Is it sad that I now look to work as a break from classes. Albeit, I am only takng two classes, and I only have those classes two days a week, but geez, now I remember why It was so easy for me to drop from school in the first place.

But now that I am back taking classes, I hope to never stop. I really am trying to stay motivated so that I can go from my classes now, to paramedic school, fire academy, finish my bachelor's, and then hopefully do some graduate work. Just sorta wish I had been this motivated while I was still at Biola.

I do have to say though, my school days are slightly tiring. I get up at 6am, shower, have breakfast, then make sure I am on the road by 7:30am. I then sit on te 5 freeway for anywhere from 45 minutes to 80 minutes to get to school. My first class is "Medical terminology," where we sit and go over all the different medical terms (Millions of them) and disect their word parts (About 500). It includes alot of scary moments where classmates (Who will soon be in the mdecial field) ask really stupid questions. It also includes really bad video presentations that seem like old slide shows put to video.

Sidenote: Anyone remember when back in the early 90's when schools had laserdiscs...and the were the cool new thing...going to change the way videos were done in class. What happened to that? I can now go down to Wal-mart and get a DVD with surround sound, but I am forced to watch VHS presentation of old slide shows about the Urinary system and its physiology.

Back to previous topic. The Terminology class ends around 1pm, at which point I head over to the local Baja Fresh, and I have my Tres Steak Tacos. I eat lunch while reviewing notes from my previous class. When finished I head back to school, were I hang in the library for 3 hours goofing of and surfing the internet.

Like now. But now I have to go. So I will finish these thoughts later.
