I'm Back!

Regional Competition went really well. We all had a great time and learned a lot. We ended up bringing home 9 trophies one of which is the best you can get, overall team percentage. we were all very proud.

There were 4 competitions that we competed in, Firearms, Crime Scene Investigation, Testing and Physical agility. i competed in all of them. (YES!! even the physical Agility) I wasn't even going to do the physical agility but i thought hey why not. I ended up doing the best out of my whole team! I was impressed that i was the fastest seeing as how i was the biggest (probably most out of shape) person there. I completed the Physical Agility course in 1 min and 11 seconds.

The Crime scene was fun. it was an actual hotel room that we went to investigate and it the scenario was that an illegal gambling involving a police officer was taking place and got busted. we had to go in and find the evidence that was hidden.

Firearms was a lot of fun. I realize now that i still need to practice more often so i can improve my score. I scored a 209 out of a poss. 500. not very good but i will do better next time seeing as how i know what to expect.

The testing was, well... testing. wasn't fun. its testing. but we did score i think 3 or 4 trophies from that category.

Liberal was interesting. very small, smelled funny and just small western town. Nice people but just different. i did get to eat a 14 oz. kc strip with mashed potatoes, salad and soup for 15.95. i think that is a bargain!!! it was probably the best steaks i have ever had.. it was very good.


On the way back home we stopped in Greensburg, Kansas. For those of you who aren't familiar with Greensburg, it is a small town that was devastated when a F5 tornado wiped out most of their town. It really puts things in perspective when you see a nothing left but the foundation of a house with the debris of the walls scattered everywhere. It was really sad seeing everything that the tornado wiped out. Peoples lives were destroyed in a matter of minuets and how they are having to rebuild literally from ground up.


We took pictures of all of the things that we did so i will be posting those soon.

work

Work sucked, it was slow, boring and uneventfull. I had to train this new guy who didnt know what he was doing. He has never served before so it was kind of a struggle to make everything click with him. only had like 5 tables. Made crap for money. My parents keep telling me to look for another job which I have been doing but with no luck. I applied at borders, no call back and i also applied for campus security at Mid America Nazerene, once again no call back. I want to find a good job that isnt waiting tables, but i think that is all i will find seeing as how i am still in school. I was thinking about UPS but im not one for much physical labor. I know lazy.


Going to the shooting range Wednesday to practice for regionals, should be fun.

I go back to school tommorrow, now i have to catch up and that is never fun.

I was talking to my Mom and i think that we are going to do a Japanese steak house for the b day dinner. That seems to be where everyone is going latley so, why not.

well thanks all, im off to bed

Love to all

Wisdom Teeth Suck!

So as some of you know, I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. Let me be the first to tell you that it isn't fun. Im sore, tired, knocked up on pain meds and all I do is sleep all day. Tonight was the first night i attempted to eat "food" . It was Mc Donalds and needless to say I was the last one done, and by the time I was done the food had been cold. I can hardly wait untill my mouth is healed and not swollen and I can eat regular food with ease.

The time is almost here!! I will be 19 years old in just 12 days. It's funny how fast time goes by and you see all the changes that have occured over the years. A new family, friends, school. heck im in College now.

An update on LAE regionals. I will be leaving for Liberal, Kansas the 26th of October. I am competing in a Firearms competition, Crime Scene Investigation and I am taking a Police Management and Criminal Law tests. I am really excited. Since joining LAE (Lambda Alpha Epsilon) I have had the chance to network with numerous people who are in the Criminal Justice field which is really cool. I have met tons of people and lots friends.

School is still going well. I have missed some school so I have to get back into the groove of things. I was supose to go on a tour of the Lenexa Police Department today but due to a sucky surgerey yesterday, i stayed home :-( That was probably a good idea seeing as how i slept most of the day.

I am going to try to go back to work tomorrow. We will see how that goes.

Also Tickets for Garth Brooks go on sale tomorrow at 10 am. So hopefuly i can get tickets, that would be anamazing show.
