So last night I had firefighting...
Some of the guys they are awesome and all of them are really interesting, but (of course there's a 'but') some of them are sexist. If any of you know my personality and the things I have done in my life, you will understand how much this bothers me. It wasn't so much that they would blatantly say that they didn't agree with women fire fighters, but if I couldn't do something the first time they would say things like 'stop being a girl' and they would ask me, not the work experience guy student, if I was tired from the drills or if my back hurt from carrying things. Oh well. If i decide to do this, that is what I will put up with.
Last night was so rad though! We learned how to put on oxygen packs and mask properly. Then we did drills. In these drills we entered the fire hall, which was now filled with smoke, and had to find our many 'patients' and drag them out to safety.
Apparently within a few weeks I will be helping fight live, controlled fires.

Girl fire fighters are hot.
