back to school!

well, it's done. all $4,280 of tuition for the paramedic academy was paid for today. Emrhubby got his pre-reading material and his textbook in the mail, which apparently does not have the "canadian" insert so he might need to buy the entire textbook again (we got that one for $20 on amazon used). The new ones with the inserts are $175-400 on the internet. let's hope for the lesser.
anyway, we were out since 11.30 this morning. we went to the states to pick up the textbook, we get everything shipped across the boarder as it's cheaper. then we went and headed to emrhubby's mom work where she gave us some money to help with the schooling. then she took emrtot since she was done work and we headed to the academy with bbj. once there the secretary was putting students photos on their student cards. she printed emrhubby off a pre-read book and helped us get all our money together as we waited the new class of paramedic's got out. some of them were waiting for their student id's. emrhubby knew one of them from his last course and he talked to him for a bit while we waited for the pre-read book. once the paramedic's saw bbj they all began to analyze my baby and how big he was so if he needed medical attention how they would proceed. i found it mildly amusing but then told them my baby was fine, thanks. haha.
it was a bit weird to be surrounded by so many people that were going to be paramedics soon. kinda like standing in a room with a few cops, i just look at them like 'you're not going to have a normal job, you're saving people and might be their last chance.' i also felt a bit out of place. they all had on their big black boots like emrhubby and black pants with the stethoscopes in their pockets and dress shirts with patches. i had on skinny jeans, flipflops and a flowy top i bought at H&M awhile ago. oh, and let's not forget my very big pink sunglasses. yep, i fit right in with all those paramedics.
now, i'm listening to paramedic protocols from emrhubby's laptop as he sits across from me on the couch. i guess we had a few weeks off and now it's back to school time!
