2nd week of summer school.


It seems like quite a while since I updated my blog. I have not actually not update for only only 3 days. Somewhat still pissed that I could not pass a first-aid course on Sunday. So the 18 hours I sat on a chair to earn a first-aid course certificate was a complete waste because of this fail. 18 hours of non-stop listening, starving and writing was all a waste. Well after all the teaching about the first aid we were to be tested on. There was a theory and a practical test which you needed to achieve 70% to pass. The theory test I was sure I got over 90% but for the practical, that's another story. Our teacher said that if our casualty for the practical died we would get a 0% which results in us not passing. So I was finished my practical and the scenario was this casualty had angina and severe bleeding on the femur. Well... which injury would you tend to first. I chose the angina and that was the reason I failed. After treating for angina/mini heart attack, my casualty had lost a lot of blood and died. WHAT THE HECK. Both of them were serious, one results in your heart not beating and you would die from that and the other was serious bleeding. I believed I should have passed even with this mistake because it was a hard decision to make. Furthermore, he did not teach us anything about this. Many of us failed this course: Standard First Aid C and those that did pass had already received their certificate before. They had attended this course to renew it. Great, so I gotta go again to get my certificate.

On Monday, I completely forgot what happened except I had summer school otherwise nothing special happened that stayed in my memory. OH YEA. I REMEMBER... umm, we went to "tin yut" a nice japanese restaurant to eat all you can eat. Man the food was good, all I ate was chicken teriyaki and chicken on the stick. The dessert was just amazing which was mango yogurt and tiramisu. I ate like 10 cups of them. I don't usually eat sushi at a japanese restaurant, I actually prefer the seaweed and rice more than the salmon or stuffing inside. So bear in mind, next time you go with me to sushi, remember to give me the rice and seaweed.

Moving on to Tuesday, summer school was pretty good. All we usually do is play games or actually do work. Returned home to have a short P&G meeting at their headquarters in Toronto. We met their marketing manager and he gave us a small challenge. Not small but a challenging challenge. I left to go to my VY meeting which was kinda boring. Our teacher had left for an hour in the middle of the meeting to do something. We were left alone working on our route charts and menu planning. After that we went to Walmart to buy shoes at like 9:55. We had like 4 minutes to run inside the place and try the shoes. However after 4 minutes, we walked outside empty handed.
