Just to let everyone know that I have a domain now and will probably be moving my blog, if I ever decide to keep one active, there. The address is:

Painfully tired. Class was excruciatingly boring, to the point whereI considered drastic attention-seeking behaviour just to provide variety, but thankfully I was too beat to attempt anything more strenuous than doodling defiantly. I eventually tried to nap, but some disjointed buzzing noise kept me mostly awake. It turned out to be Karen, the instructor, trying to get us excited about outlining.

Don'tget me wrong. I think K is a great teacher, and the class is for the most part pretty interesting. But after scarificing 2 night of sleep to finish an assignment for this class, I think I am entitled to a bit of bitterness.

First Aid refresher. The instructor's this eccentric goofy guy who also happens to be ridiculously overeducated. We're talking multiple degrees. He's also a reservist. What with CSST instructors always being in the armed forces? My last instructor was a Navy nurse who loved to punctuate her lessons with horror stories.

So, considering my neurotic fear of death, I should be obsessing about all the horrible things that could happen to me and my loved ones, but I can only think of how cool it would be to use my life-saving skills for real. Maybe it's just because I'm so goddamn tired.

It's been 2 night in a row with very short Z rations. Total hours of sleep in the last 48: 8. And tonight is a school night until 8 PM. I'm going to see if I can manage to snooze through the class.
