    Smile going back to school

    Well its that time of year. Saying goodbye to the beach and hello to the books. Everyones favourite time!! haha! But im actually excited to go back! Its gonna be sweet this year. I get to do a whole bunch of cool sh*t. I get to do a search and rescue in a burning airplane... probably won't be too hard to find the dummys, and bunch of other cool stuff. I can wait til im a for real deal fireman, but for now training is good enough.

    Anyone else going back to school??? what program are you in?

    Mechanical and yes, it's a shit load of work. 18 credits and I also do research so my time is well used up. I also have projects for competitions to finish and still design crap for some company. I'm also trying to look into an invention I'm working on to see if I can patent it.

    Firefighting's pretty tough as well I'm sure.

    It is tough, but its not that bad. Some classes are just a joke. But it all depends if you put in your time and do the work. The physical aspects of it are pretty tough, but i find them fun as hell and I love gearing up and going into fires.. its awesome. Im sure the first "real" one i go into will be scary, but these ones are fun!

    I just started yesterday. I'm going for my electrical engineering degree, but I'm just starting. I went to a tech school for computer aided drafting, but the compnay I work for now is paying for me to go back to school. I have about six years to go, but hell when I'm done I'll only be about 26 and making a shit load of money. I'm so stoked.
