Quit Complaining

I'm not going to lie, I hate hearing people complain. I really hate hearing people complain over stupid things and if people complain because of something stupid that's their fault, it drives me crazy. Take for instance some jackass I know who went out the other day and bought a car. He didn't really shop around, or apply for a loan, or pay with cash for that matter. No, he charged it to his credit card. Fine, whatever - he can pay that interest and have a maxed out card. But then a few days later when he gets his paycheck and realizes that he can't really afford the car because in his own words "I thought my paycheck was going to be bigger." Are you freaking kidding me dude? You are in the military, you know not only what you are supposed to get paid, but you can easily figure out what ANYBODY in the military gets paid with a quick Google search.

Anyway, I found myself starting to complain this morning as we went over yet another lecture. So far we have only had one test yet for some reason we have gone over lessons that will be covered in not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different tests. Some of which aren't until mid-September. Their logic is that they want to run the course in a college like manner. Sure that might work. But I don't know any college where you test out in RESP 204 - Advanced Pharmacology before you even go over the first lesson in RESP 104 - Respiratory Pharmacology which includes "General Principles of Pharmacology." I also don't understand why we have only 9 days between respiratory A&P (one of the most important things to know for a stable foundation to grow on) but have 3 weeks between the lesson on medical gas storage (one of the easiest chapters) and it's test date. I can handle multiple lessons, but having this much time between them and being tested on them plus not following a logical order sum up to one thing - bullshit.

So there you have it, that's my complaint for the day. I should take a step back and point out the positives like the fact that for the most part all of my instructors have been pretty cool and effective at getting their lessons across. I'm sure that once I do get a few tests out of the way and into a good routine I'll calm down a little. Until then, my nerves will be riding a little high.
