Woodrow, look over last semesters paperwork and see what you need to work on...and like you said, don't give up.
Good luck.

I think you should stop blaming the "devil" or "bad luck" and just take responsibility and buckle down.

Maybe getting off here and studying more would help :) when I was in class, I went to the 8am - midday class, came home, napped for an hour, then studied til I went to bed around 11/midnight. I did that every single day. on the weekends, I went to my buddy's fire station and practiced there. for the last couple of weeks, I went to the morning AND evening class every day.

I literally studied non stop.

And I passed! It's worth the effort. Try showing that kind of commitment and you'll do fine!

But here's what counts. I'm going to pass, no matter what. I'm not going to take it a third time.

Well? I'm going to nag for a moment. Why in the hell is the Devil trying to pull me down? Last semester I failed the course. And I swear he's at it again!!! My stepgrandma is suing my deceased Grandfather's estate, my sister totals a car (thank God she's not hurt or worse), and has no insurance, and to top it off, NEAR THE FINALS WEEK??? Sorry, I'm rambling. Just stuff in life that's pissing me off.

yeah, same as in my EMT class.... no difference lol In fact, I did this class over the summer... which was squeezed into 8 weeks. It was so intense.

Aye, and here's a problem, in the night class I'm in, we have 29 people, the other emt class during the day, plus another group from a fire academy (that is not supported by our school but they use our EMT classes anyway), plus the paramedic class. We (Texas) is currently phasing out the intermediate program. Also we just cover a lot of ground here.

I'm surprised you get to experience ride alongs at so many different places! I can only do it at one base so, if I make a bad impression or they don't like me, I have no other option.

Well, if I known to do that back then, I should have done so. Now I know to do it this weekend, on Thanksgiving day, I'll be on a rideout and I'm planning on at least bringing them something, like desert, these two rideouts will be at different stations, though

Hey, I really don't mind :D I'd rather be popular cos I'm pretty than ignored cos they think I'm worthless. Besides, it plays to my ego lol I feel pretty looked after by them though. Not that I feel I need it, but it's nice to think they'd come to my rescue if some idiot pulled out a gun or something. We are in East St Louis so it's a possibility!
