I found out Thursday - I'm so excited!!!

The woman handling registration (and I assume she's one of the instructors too) called me last week to ask why I wanted to go. We talked for about 20 minutes and she sounded pretty positive and actually said "you sound like somebody we want on our side." So I was feeling pretty good. But she also said she'd be calling people this week (the paperwork said all accepted applicants would be notified by 3/1).

But when I didn't get a call by 3/1 I thought I was out and I was feeling pretty bummed. This class was just too perfect in timing and location. Then the mail came. I got the big envelope as they say :) Horray!!!

Now, what to study? I've already downloaded the manual and I'm printing 20 pages at a time to read -it's over 300 pgs!

Dh is affraid I'll get beaten up (joking) because I will want to say too much and come off as a know-it-all ;-) I think I can keep my mouth shut for a few days just long enough to pass (fingers crossed).

Congratulations,

Study the questions in the back of each section, don't be afraid to ask questions.

You should do fine

Congrats!!!! Like I was telling Jenny, you'll do fine in the class. I didn't study anything ahead of time. You do want to study once you get in there - there's alot of info - but most of it you already know. Remember that most folks in the class - firefighters, state troopers, etc - have never installed a seat, don't know about different kinds of seatbelts, etc.

Anyway, that's exciting! Keep us posted...

Congratulations! :p

When does your class start?

Thanks! The class is April 10-13. I work p/t so I'll have to take a day off, and my mom will have to watch my kids 5 days that week. Actually, that is my biggest concern. My 18 month old still nurses on my lunch hour occasionally. Maybe she'll wean herself after this ;-)

I need to send in my payment this month (by the 21st I think). The fee is going to be my b-day present from DH (per my request). I told him its the best gift he could give me, LOL!

I will! :) I don't know if I'll have an internet connection at my grandma's (where I'll be staying), but if I do, I'll be on every night with updates. :p

LOL! That's what DH gave me for mother's day one year. I thought it was a great gift!
