My chief said that he's okay with me going, and he'll sign off... so now I just have to meet with the commissioners to have them sign off on the financial aspect. I have to write them a letter explaining what training I will receive and what I hope to get from it. Then I follow that up with a letter in which I beg for money (lol) so they'll pay for it at least somewhat up front. They have an unwritten rule that if you want to go to Montour, you have to pay for everything yourself and then request reimbursement when I get back... but I don't exactly have the $250 to drop right now, so I'm going to see if I can work my way around that.
Law school... all the schools I've looked at have an honor code that states that students are not permitted to work off campus, or even claim work study funds during the first year.
Well, it's not just going to be a budget issue... I won't be allowed to work for the first year... soooooooo it's going to be living on mom and dad's $20 a week allowance... IF THAT.
Here's the deal...
I will eat ANY meat product if I get hungry enough, and I'm confident in the manner in which it was prepared. For instance, a few weeks ago I made myself a cheeseburger on the grill. Acceptable only if I make it. And since I'm a fat kid, you can't take away my love of a real Sahlen's hot dog.... again, only if I char that SOB beyond recognition. I am pretty sure though that when I move out next year, I'll come a lot closer to that full blown vegetarianism, as I'll be too poor to buy anything that even resembles meat or meat products (with the exception of an occasional can of Spam... mmmmm yummy!).
Chili with shredded cheddar cheese and saltines broken up and put on top helps with hangovers.... honest, I know from experience and found out about it at our firehouse...
Seriously, I'm glad I had an empty stomach or else it could have gotten really ugly around here. The dry heaves were pretty painful, good thing there wasn't anything behind 'em!
