The Scene is Safe

This week marked my official certification to teach Health and Safety and Disaster courses for the Red Cross. It was a beautiful three day affair invoolving reving dummy adults, children, and babies. These classes were much more informative and beneficial than some of the disaster courses I took. They're still using the same jokes about using "Staying Alive" and "Another One Bites the Dust" as the perfect beat for CPR chest compressions. Being at the training center in the mall also meant that I got to eat Taco Casa three days this week.

Jessie May was also here this week! I was so happy to see my Mae FN one last time before she's in London all semester. We had a great time going to trivia and midnight sushi and just hanging out. I'm so glad everyone is moving back to Tuscaloosa. Now if my dumb roommates will just get here. I doubt they'll read this, so I'll insult them.

Also, Martha and I took home our second third place prize at trivia on Monday, which resulted in us getting points for the fall league!

Saturday I taught my first Disaster Services course in Disaster Preparedness at First Baptist Church in Northport. It was a rather basic class, so it was a good first one to teach. I think it went really well, and they all seemed very grateful for us to come and teach them some basic CPR skills as well.

This weekend consisted of a great Angels in America cast party with an interestingly titled drink and wonderful conversations about a sundry assortment of topics. I stayed out much later than originally intended, but it was worth it. I also helped my father set up for his annual messy games night at church Sunday, which involved spreading pudding and flour on slipnslides and tying so many water balloons that the cuticle on my left pointer finger has been rubbed raw. I got to end my Sunday evening with a lovely screening of Birdemic via Netflix. It's hard to say that a movie is on par with Troll 2 for being the worst movie ever, but this deefinitely comes close. To off set this terrible cinematic experience, Chris and I watched some Arrested Development before I came home and went to sleep listening to The Help audiobook.

This week isn't looking overly interesting especially since I am avoiding calling all the board members to make them RSVP for the meeting this week. Hopefully, it will pick up when my new supervisor and old friend gets into the office.
