C R A M

preparing to take the test for entry into the fire academy. i have studied the chapters on firefighter orientation, hoses & ladders and first aid & rescue. i now have to study standard operating procedures and emergency incident rehabilitation like crazy. up until this morning, i was distracted due to slight anxiety regarding the date and time of my test. i knew that all i had to do was log in and i'd see the date, but i knew it was in the next week or 2. some time later. i was thinking the 8th. i should have written down the date, but instead simply relied on the fact that the date was stored on the state of tennessee's website. i chose the date that would give me the most time to study, but unfortunately i have been preoccupied with the move for a lot of the study time that i have had. I went to the website last friday to find out, but noticed the website had changed. a new format and a brand new look. logged in and, to my dismay, there was no information about the testing times or that i had even applied. panicking, i called the number i had been emailed but there was no answer. left a message and got no callback until this morning when i was told that i am scheduled to take the test tomorrow at 9:00am est. i don't need luck, so you needn't wish any for me. what i do need is time. i can't get more time, but i can use the time that i have wisely by not blogging this unread and unreadable crap.
