So I sold my snake. It's kind of sad, but I think it's a good thing afterall. I don't really have the time to spend with him right now and I know once I start the academy I REALLY won't have the time. I didn't think it was fair to the snake as cheesy as that sounds, because he wasn't getting the attention that he needed. The guy that bought him from me is actually a cop also. I was talking to him and he went through the academy at UVSC (or UVU, whichever) about 3 years ago. He was talking to me for about an hour or so about the different things that go on while your there. I'm actually more excited now than I was before about going after talking to him. He told me a lot of things that I had no idea about, but it was cool. I'm actually going on a ride along with him either this weekend or next weekend. He works for Santaquin Police but he lives in Payson. He was a pretty cool guy, and he told me that if I had any questions while I was going to the academy then I could call him anytime and he'll talk to me about it. I thought that was pretty cool of him. He came over with his family to pick up the snake and his family seemed like a pretty neat family. I don't worry about whether or not they'll take care of the snake, I know that they will give the snake a lot of attention which makes me feel good about it.

I'm working on my running endurance now at the Gym. Talking to that guy the other day he informed me to work on my endurance rather than my time. He said that they're usually pretty good about the Physical part of the academy. They'll help you if you need it, so that's good. I read online that the best way to build running endurance the fastest was to jog for a few minutes then walk for a few minutes, then jog, then walk. The article said that if you just jog and jog and jog then you won't really work up your endurance very well. For whatever reason it seems to build up faster if you jog and walk. So that's what I'm doing. I am just increasing my jogging time compared to my walking time each day, so I think I'll be fine.

I'm kinda getting a little stressed about getting all my stuff done that I need to get done in time. I still have to get a copy of my driving record, my birth certificate and a physical. Probably the most stressful thing is that I have to do all that stuff before I can find out about the financial aid. I just hope that it all works out and I'm able to get financing for the whole thing. I think I can probably get all that done in a weeks time, but it's just kind of stressful is all. I am still a little in disbelief that it's actually happening. I've thought about doing this whole Police thing for several years off and on and now it's actually happening so it's kind of cool. I can't wait to get everything figured out and go get my uniforms and handcuffs and things. I'm trying not to get too excited but it's hard not too.

Well that's all I can really think of writing about today so I guess I'll end it. I'll write more later if I can think of anything interesting or worth writing down.
