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.
