still no official word...

still waiting on school to tell me that i can have my practicum. i have gotten everything organized, even down to who, where, and when. all that is left for the college is to say "ok" and set up the contract with the company. thats it. i've done all the leg work, but it sounds as though they're gonna be sticky pencil pushers and say no. if that is the case, i may have to get ahold my dean of studies... kinda rude to go over other people's heads that way, but she did sign the papers saying i could go ahead. i dunno. i'm just trying hard not to stress and freak and smoke a pack of cigs a day. such is life, and i've learned long ago that the best way to get through crap is to be flexible and miss them corny chunks if possible.

other than school, i am still up north of edmonton working away on the ambulance service here. i like it. i cant imagine doing anything else. the look of relief that people give me when i walk through the door, or the change in a patient's blood pressure and heart rate as i take away some of their pain and help them calm down.... it's pretty much indescribable.

so, if i dont get my practicum as was hoped, then i at least i will still be working. and maybe even moving up here... if terry and i can find an affordable place to live thats near somewhere where terry can get decent work. who knows whats in the future... just keep truckin'.
