After all the studying. . .

          Last week in my post I mentioned I had driven to Chambersburg only to find out my EMT test had been canceled.
      I was able to reschedule my test for Tuesday, April 21, in Pottsville.

I felt more than a little apprehensive. Would I even be able to test? Did I know my different disease processes and cardiac anatomy as well as I should?

      Arriving at the test center nearly 45 minutes early, I was given some paperwork to fill out, confirming I was indeed the person I claimed to be. I was also asked to sign a loonnngggg paper acknowledging I that I understood my license and testing privileges would be revoked if I didn't comply with everything else listed.

      I complied, acknowledging I would not cheat and hadn't smuggled any notes in under my clothes. 

      The test was quite hard, to say the least. Question after question appeared on the screen and I wondered if I would ever finish.

         All of the sudden, a message popped up thanking me for completing the test. 

  There was nothing else to do other than collect my papers and go home to wait for the results.

              I didn't feel as though I had passed.

Sometime in the afternoon, I got a message from one of my classmates telling me to check my account and see if I had gotten my results. He had taken his test the same time I had, and had just gotten the message that he had passed. 

       I somewhat apprehensively opened my account, expecting to see I failed.  

       My siblings have various reports of my ecstatic response to the message saying I passed.


        Now I'm waiting on the paperwork to be completed by the necessary agencies, but I'm told I should be ready to run sometime next week.
