No B for Me

I got an A in the class that I was so worried about. I am very happy about that. I had resigned to the fact that I was going to get a B, but dang I am glad it was an A. Thing is, my grade was pretty close to an A, and my teacher gave me an A for effort. That is fine. I can live with that.

I got a phone call from the admissions office the other day. The admissions counselor that is going over my application to the Rad Tech program said that I did not have the right CPR card. She said that I am supposed to have BLS for Healthcare Providers, and mine was just Heartsavers. What??? I couldn't even speak. I think I mumbled something like, " Are you sure? Pfft. Hhhh. Hmmm. Wha?". I finally said, "Okay", and hung up the phone. I couldn't speak for 5 minutes. This is going to keep me from getting into the program. I will have to wait another year to apply!
Fortunately, it was a mistake. I had received the wrong card from the American Heart Association. I did take the BLS for Health Care Providers! I thought I had. I knew I had. So, my instructor called the school to ensure that the mistake would not be counted against me. Shew!

I started running again last night. My good friend/neighbor and I decided to start jogging before taking kickboxing at the local gym. We both decided that we don't want to look like a couple of idiots gagging and coughing and wheezing in front of our peers. It went well, and we are going again tonight. She wants to work up to 2 miles, which will be easy peasy. I am hoping once she gets up to 2 miles, she will want to do 4. We will see.

I keep having dreams about a high school buddy of mine. I am not sure what that means. He lives in California and is happily married. He has a Doctorate in Bioengineering, and is very respected in his field. We were best friends in high school, and hung out a lot while he was a student at Georgia Tech. But, he moved away and we have pretty much fallen out of touch. I wonder if I should contact him. Something might be going on if he keeps following me around in my dreams.

Good on you for starting running again. It's made a huge difference for me to feel better. Also my quads are very sexy, you can lick them if you're nice.
