really quick note here, HAPPY NEW YEARS! never mind that it's almost February... :) eh. I'm sorry it's been FOREVER since I've written... but if you're friends on facebook with me, you'll probably have a idea of what's been going on with me for the past 6 months.. I'm alive and well, and that's all that really matters, right?
well, ALMOST alive and well...
I'm taking lifeguard training at SCC. it's pretty sweet. I've wanted to do this for a veeeery long time, so I'm totally thrilled.
so, so far we've learned about Patron Surveillance, Assists, Submerged rescues, CPR, and how to use the AED. what's left? First Aid. that's right. blood guts and gore... oh yeah, and 3 degree burns. >.< this is the part where I run screaming from the room. hahahaha. so yesterday, we had a big test about CPR and the AED, and then after the test we entered in to the third section of the course, First Aid. we watched some stuff about strokes and how you know when someones having one and fun stuff like that.... and then we watched a video on open wounds and serious burns.... I was sitting there watching this with my text book covering most of my face while grotesque pictures of wounds and 3 degree burns come on the screen. my exact thoughts were "oooooh.... oooow... gosh... hoooly cow.. gross.. Why am I here again? oh man.. I don't feel too good.. hmm! I'm seeing double vision! I must be blacking out! that's really weird... I wonder why I'm doing that! hahahaha!" And Cc FAINTS. I kid you not. Next thing I know, I wake up on the floor with my instructor Michele leaning over me... I have no idea how long I was out.. it can't have been that long, but who knows.. it could have been a good five minutes. I immediately start freaking out and try to sit up and then realize that I don't feel too good... crud. "did I just pass out?? did I faint?! *giggles* ooooh my gosh I am so sorry.. oh wow I can't believe I just did that!" Michele tells me to keep lying down. everyone is looking at me with big eyes. all in all, it was pretty hilarious. I was giggling. hahahaha... eventually I got up and Michele got me some ice for my head (I got a lovely rug burn on my face) and we continued the lesson without the grotesque images. : )
so that was my little adventure for the month. I was excited. I've always wanted to know what it feels like to faint! hahaha... it's not quite as romantic as I thought it would be, but that's ok. *giggles* today I've been feeling pretty aweful.. my head and neck hurt and I'm totally drained.. but I think I'll be ok tomorrow. :P
anyway! thanks for reading. I hope I didn't bore you to tears.... hahahaha.. :) Love you all! hope you're having a great week! <3
