Post- MDA Test

As I mentioned in my blog post last night, today we had a mid-term for the Magen David Adom (E.M.T. training) course.  It consisted of a written part, made up of thirty-two multiple choice questions, and a physical part, which was performing CPR and checking a person's vitals.  I was expecting hours and hours of questions upon questions, based on the totally ridiculously hugeeee outline that I wrote up, but it only took about an hour in total.  Lame!  I was legitimately disappointed, because I was totally prepared to just punch out hours of brain strength and end in that totally awesome feeling of accomplishment.  Unfortunately, it was not to be.  On the positive side, I did spend a large number of hours learning a ton of material so I feel much more prepared than I did before.  Which is something that I need, and obviously the goal of a mid-term.

For some of you who know me well, you just might know that one of my biggest life dreams is to like tea.  I have never liked tea, despite various people's valiant efforts through numerous tea flavors and brands, but something incredible took place last night.  I had planned to study for Magen David Adom with my friend Jason, and low and behold you will never guess what he did... He so kindly brought me tea.  Despite the fact that I have told him many times that no tea has ever graced my tongue and induced a positive response, he decided (in a typical male fashion- I might add) that his tea would be different.  Turns out that he was, amazingly, correct.  He brought me tea, and I, not only didn't dislike it, but actually enjoyed it!  What a crazy concept... Julia Owen drinking tea.  Haha.  I definitely need him to teach me his ways because I totally want to be able to drink tea at will.

Anyways, this week is sure to be a crazy one.  It's mid-term season, so I have many a test and or assignment.  Next week we will be taking a big tiyul (trip) to the Negev and Eilat for Chanukah, so I'm looking forward to getting everything done with that in mind.  In terms of tonight, I'm pretty sure it's bed time.  So, I will wish you all a Lila Tov or a Yom Tov (depending on where you live).

Have a wonderful week, everybody!  Be as productive as you can be, learn from your mistakes, and take responsibility for your actions.

Do work.
