Today was hands-on in Union Painting. A good bit of videos, and painting of course. Lunch was a Fat Tuesday Feast! Crawdad Etouffe, Red Beans & Rice, Jambalaya, Gritcakes, Blackened Fish, and Bananas Foster for dessert! And yes, I got beads. :D

Today was also payday for the rest of the campus. My next payday is officially two weeks from now. Store runs are made on paydays, so I'm actually typing this from the bus to town.

Tonight was also my second fire class. I'm warier all the time of what I'm getting into, but I feel like I'm actually going to be doing something, instead of just sitting around and playing it safe. It's not quite the military, but I think it'd make my parents proud if I were able to make it through this training.
