Happy New Year everyone! I am incredulous that we are officially down to single digit weeks left of our time at the academy. The last two months have felt like we were in fast forward and 2015 is finally here.
R and I had a very relaxing weekend in, probably our first one in awhile where we really hunkered down for a netflix watching marathon and just took a mental vacation. R went into the academy on Saturday for a few hours to practice scenarios since he knew a few cadets were doing that together. They're testing on scenarios all this week (Company A is, Company B goes next week) and I think all the guys are nervous. But I have no doubt that their weeks of learning in the classroom will pay off for them.
Big news since our last blog post, CTC III-14 received their dream sheets, which is the list of available offices for assignment! No surprise that there were no offices near our hometown (as it is traditionally a very senior office) but we were pleasantly surprised that there were a few within 2 hours away of home, in the east bay. We spent a weekend deliberating and changing our mind several times about what offices we were interested in, and by Monday had decided on a list that made us mutually happy. In essence, we decided to leave it up to CHP whether we were going to remain up north or travel down south, with our first and second choices having equal numbers of openings.
We didn't hear back within the same week we submitted our choices but today marks a week since the cadets turned them in so we're crossing our fingers for confirmation today! We're nervous but excited to see where we end up.
Like I said, R's company will be doing scenarios this week so keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We've heard this is one of the last major tests we have to pass and I know R will breathe easier once this week is over.
51 days til graduation (but who's counting? ;) )
