finished my course yesterday, exhausted. 40 hours of training crammed into 5 days is really hard. they had a post test, in which i feel like i really improved. still, maybe the biggest thing that course taught me is that i need a ton more training. gonna start looking at programs in california, see what i can find.
after the course came back to the house, had some food and beer, and slept on the roof. it was threatening to rain last night, that would have been so cool, since they only get 10 inches of rain a year. no such luck.
trying to figure out if i can go to cancun for the wto protest after burningman. i found tickets from phoenix for 289 roundtrip to mexico city, and from mexico city to cancun is 40 bucks and 22 hours on a bus. we'll see. all the folks i've met here are going, they're gonna do a street medic team, i feel like i could help with that in some way.
trying to decide when i'm taking off from here, part of me wants to go tomorrow, but i might wait till monday.
