Ghetto CPR

Oh my g_d! This was the BEST CPR class I've ever taken. It was truly awesome and I loved it and I am so taking community based CPR classes in the future. If any of y'all have ever taken a Red Cross CPR or First Aid class, you know what I'm talking about. They are very stuffy. Very formal. Very boring. Very painful. It is hard to explain. Maybe it is because it is so precise that it was just painful for me. The guy read from the book. I can read dammit!

So tonight's class was totally ghetto. It is sponsored by either the city or the county. It was done by a firefighter (retired not one of the young hotties. :) ). But basically he showed us a video and we practiced with the video and then we were done. We practiced very quickly on an adult that was supposed to represent a child model. It was easily the best CPR class I had. I felt like I got the information I needed (which surprising to me the American Heart Association was advocating stuff I had never heard of.). And it was quick and to the point.

HOWEVER I do still hate the 'burbs. I got off the bus at the wrong stop. Apparently I got off the bus at about 10 blocks before I was supposed to. I was vaguely relying on the bus map in the bus and I thought I was a lot closer than I was. I was so mad (at myself) and I fully expected to get sent away without being able to take the class since I was about 8 minutes late. (If it were a Red Cross class I probably would've been.) (Also a bus issue. I caught the right bus to downtown and walked to the place for the bus I needed to catch and somehow I missed the busI was supposed to catch and caught the later one. Luckily I wasn't late (or wouldn't have been late if I had gotten off the bus at the right place).)
