Sweet dude! So I'm guessing if you get in, you will be staying in H-town and going to UH?

You still wanna meet up Next Saturday (22nd) and look around UTA once more?

i can always switch fire houses, if i do decide to move for college, but as of right now ill be at the one right down the street from me.

im really leaning towards UofH just because i like where i live now, but i want to check UTA out once more because i really did like the campus alot and just dont want to make a mistake like i did at auburn.

ya that will work, im putting in my off request for work tomorrow and long as my parts are done by the 21st ill be up that way to get them and plan on staying and coming home late saturday night most likely.

OK. I'm still not sure if I will be heading up there Friday or Saturday. All depends on how laggy I feel from my overnight flight back from Maui the Thursday before.

Just text me sometime next week and let me know.

Are you living on your own now?

Once I get settled into my apartment I plan on taking the first responder classes. I was going to take them this summer but with vacation and stuff I just didnt have enough time. 2 of my good friends are taking them and just completed the extraction/life flight/simulation drills. I may join a VFD as well once I complete the first responder course.
