My Daily Dose of Dorkasy

You know how I wrote I'm so glad I do stupid things, because it makes my life more interesting. Well, I don't think that's entirely true. I don't think I would mind if my life was less interesting.

Ok, so here's my advice. Do not, on your first day of EMT practicum, put a binder full of important papers that you have to hand in in order to pass on the top of your car and drive away. Also, do not have them loose inside that binder so that they explode as soon as they hit the ground. Do not arrange all this on a busy road with no shoulder to turn off so that you have to stop traffic, and run around madly in your student uniform to try and retreive them. And, you might want to make sure, that one of your preceptors does NOT, I repeat, does NOT drive by and see you doing this and proceeds to tell your other preceptors. All of whom I would like to point out, are responsible for marking you as a "competent" person in order for you to pass. And lastly, try to keep an obnoxious soccer mom from blindly driving over your binder, just as you're about to pick it up, not only pulverizing what remains of your paperwork but launching it gracefully through the air in showers of white, and sending you scrambling ALL over again. I wonder if the practicum coordinator who receives my paperwork will be able to identify the tread marks.
