I didn't think becoming an EMT was gonna be the easy way out of making something of myself, I mean... I know I crashed out of college really hard, but there was a lot going on. That's not ALL on me, right?

Still, the online preparation courses start tomorrow and wow, this is gonna be really intensive. I'm kinda looking forward to it but also pretty terrified right now. Just gotta keep reminding myself that I don't have to be the idiot hanging from a tree while everyone else does something useful.

[Ren and Nora]
Hey guys, uh... do you by any chance have any spare room? Or maybe we could look into getting something bigger if we all pool together, I have like zero places to live right now but I did get a job? Would you like a roomie or are you two happy by yourselves?

So, I literally - as in actually, not figuratively - crashed out of my dream career and had to go with plan B.

Plan B’s can work.

Well my dream career is... kind of not viable here at all? Since it's being a guy who hunts monsters down. And like... I wasn't really very good at that either, really. I was more like team support while everyone else killed it.

So I guess plan B is going to have to work because plan A wasn't a good plan anyway.

Monsters could show up here. So Plan A might still come in handy.

That's actually a good point, these ones have shown up here before. Or at least that's what people tell me, I wasn't really part of all this when it happened? So I didn't get my chance then. Me and the team should train more.

So wait did you really literally crash something?

Smart. Be prepared, like the G. I. Joe's or Boy Scouts or something. I don't know, I wasn't a member.

I crashed a fighter jet. Lost an arm. Got a medical discharge cuz you can't fly with one arm.

I think that's normal to feel. It's a new direction which is both super exciting but also full of unknown. It's just not letting the unknown bury you. But I know you'll do great at it.

I don't know much about EMT things but I can always help you study if you need it.

This one's a prep course they recommend since there's a LOT of medical terms and stuff I'd have to know for the main course that starts later on this year. And I was like 'Considering how well I did with science, I better take this too'.

Pretty glad my sisters talked my parents into footing some of the bill for this, but I'm still going to have to work, too. I think I'm going to definitely need help studying. Maybe I'll have Ren draw me up more time management stuff, too.

Yeahhhhh, medical terms can be complicated. I mean I know science because it comes with engineering but that's also more math? But all the help and preparation is good.

Oh, yeah, that's a lot of money so its good to have the support of your family. But I'll definitely help however I can! And yes. Time management. That is a thing. That should be done.

Especially since I think after I do the EMT thing long enough I want to go for Paramedic. I just... never want to hold my dying girlfriend again while not being able to do literally nothing-- want to be more useful. Paramedics can do a lot of stuff that EMT's can't. So the prep will be good for the long run, too.

At first they were like 'considering how you did with the last thing you tried', but Hayley wore them down. I love my little sis.

I think looking forward to something and being terrified all at the same time is pretty normal when it comes to things you want to do.

I just don't want to crash hard out of this, too. I really can't, I'm pretty sure all of my parental support would go right out the window. This is like... my last chance. Gotta focus and get it done, right?

[info]beyondthewalls

Yeah but at the same time - try not to get too wrapped up in what can go wrong. It's been my experience that when I get wrapped up in that stuff - that's when I really mess up.

So I should just... think positive, I guess?

We only have one room, so no on the spare room. But if you need to, I'm sure we can make space for you.

Though, looking to see if there's a larger place we can all afford might not be a bad idea.

Well I more meant, spare room like, room for me on the couch or something. I know your apartment's not huge!

They're paying me pretty well at the cafe and I'll be able to flex my hours around school... it's not a lot but maybe if we pool together we could get a place with two. Or a place with one and a side room I can hang a curtain over or something.

It would be nice to have somewhere where we could have a dedicated study area, instead of just trying to find a quiet corner.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna need that too, these EMT courses look pretty intense.

It's gonna be a lot of working and classes and more working from here on out. Maybe a bit of training thrown in too though, I feel like we should still be prepared. I don't know what for, but... prepared for stuff.

I'm really proud of you. What can I do to help?

[info]jaune_d_arc

Being proud of me is already really amazing, you know.

But probably what I need the most right now is for someone to remind me I'm still a human being and not a workaholic robot attached to a laptop?

Or help studying, I guess though it's really hard to concentrate around you--

It's a huge shift and it's going to be a little overwhelming for a while. It's not going to be easy, but that's life. We make mistakes, we learn from them and we move forward. That's what you have to do.

I think I'm still going to need that training, though. You never know when they're going to come back or something is going to happen to people I love that even medical knowledge won't fix--.

I might even need it on a call, it can get kind of rough out there!

[info]scareqrow

Yeah, sure, kid. I'll train you. We should probably start that sooner rather than later. Considering your chosen profession will sometimes put you in not the safest of areas.

That's what I was thinking, yeah! And I was pretty useless during the orcs, too. I'm glad you sent Nora along when you did!

We just have to fit it in around my work schedule and studying. What times are good for you?
