Yep thats me. A great big CHICKEN!! And I wish I had a little animated chicken picture to go along with it.
You may have read in a previous post all my reasons for not taking the EMT exam here in the state of Florida.
Well after some reflection, and a long drive home last night, complete with being forced to suffer through Life Flight landing nearly spitting distance from my car (If I were a REALLY good spitter), I figured it out.
The REAL reason I have not mailed in my application to take the state exam is not "I don't have the money" or "A Hurricane blew down my house" or "I loaned someone the money I had planned to spend on it."
The REAL reason I hadn't mailed in my stuff is...HOLY CRAP!! What if I fail!! That test is hard and what if I take it and it proves I am not good enough. From what I have heard, it is as hard as the state Fire Exam (written portion). I took that and BARELY passed...what if I take the EMT exam - one I really want- and fail it.
So this morning, after beating myself up all night long about it, I did it. I bought the money order. I signed my application. I put them all into an envelope and mailed it.
So...now...I will be a total spaz from this day until 40 days after I take the exam and find out I passed!
