we had only one day of sunshine and glorious weather last week and it happened to fall on the saturday i had to go and get recertified for first aid and cpr.
wah!
doug and chaeli took hobbes to a dog park - from what i heard, they had a lot of fun.
i, on the other hand, was stuck inside a classroom, doing a very crunched and speedy crash-course from what i learned from the 2-day class three years ago (which i'll have to do in full again during my next recert in three years - they only allow the 1-day recert once between the 2-day class years).
still, it was good, though. the speed was quick but i was glad to not have to be stuck in the class for more then a day AND sit through a slow moving class. by test time, i was a little bit worried that i would do worse then the first time (i got 1 wrong when i first got certified) but ended up getting perfect.
the instructor even laughed at me when he handed it back, saying, "oh whatever, shy... you got 100%!"
now speaking about he instructor, i was extremely impressed with him. he was very engaging, supportive and personable. i only got to hear little bits of his personal life and if we had more time, i would have asked him some questions.
one big question would have been his age. he was young but all that he's done - i can't imagine some one so young that has accomplished so much! it was impressive and definitely puts my younger years to shame!
i only gather he's in his early 20's because he's studying at university in the music program (and doubling in business) but it's possible that he's in his later 20's, too. i don't know - i'm really bad at telling a person's age. especially when they act so mature.
there was another girl in class who's 3rd year in her university studies. now HER i could tell her age was young. she was annoying - really, really annoying. at the end, while people were still writing, she was talking and flirting very loudly at the instructor, who tried his best to just pacify her.
i was tempted to just get to the point between the two - perhaps assist in exchanging phone numbers if there was a mutual interest, just to shut her up!
anyway - point is, i'm recertified and was able to get home before 5:30pm to enjoy some daylight. doug bbq-ed some steaks. afterwards, we watched 'prince of persia' because chaeli wanted a family movie night.
not bad - kind of weird to see jake gyllenhaal in that type of role. he did alright though - i suppose his character grew on me. i admit i was only partialy watching the movie (was sort of dozing at some points - not because i was bored but just very, very tired).
