Hey everyone, it seems that I am constantly apologizing that I haven’t blogged enough. Well, we are just going to skip over the apologizing and get to some new blogs :)
I just came back from a great relaxing weekend that I had with my wife of 3 years now! I’ll be honest and say that it was great to be able to get away (even though it was only for a night) and do something different from eating, breathing, and sleeping academy! The academy has developed more in schooling and training in the past few weeks. With that comes more and more studying and preparation that needs to take place. Let me give you a brief look into my daily schedule:
0500 - 0630: up and running with dog, material review, breakfast, shower, etc.
0630 - 0720: drive in (this might get longer as the snow comes...)
0730 - 0800: class evaluations, reviewing notes
0800 - 1700: class!
1700 - 1800: drive home
1800 - 1900: time with dog
1900 - 2100: family time, dinner and maybe tv
2100 - 2230: study, preparation for next class
All of you out there that are thinking about getting into this role as a Peace Officer make sure you know what you are getting yourself into! My wife continues to be great and accepting of what little time that I actually have during the week. She knows that this profession is what I want to do and encourages me to do my best. I continue to remind myself of how great I have it! ;)
All in all...mentally prepare yourself to set aside 21 weeks of your life and be able to make sacrifices that need to be made!
