academy update - week 4

4 down and 14 to go - so i am officially a month into the academy and things are still going well. my grade average is around a 95, so obviously i have passed all my tests so far, doing good still in all the PT, and still trying to stay awake in class for the first 2 hours of class. for some reason from 8 am to 10 am i have a hard time staying awake. sure would be nice if i got more than 6 hours of sleep a night, but that will change in about 14 more weeks.

this week we started the good PT. 2 days were at the track running pretty much the entire time and the other 3 days we were doing weights and a lot of pushups, sit ups, and pull ups. my body is holding up still for the most part, but my left knee is starting to hurt a little. it usually does this after i run, so i will just take some ibuprofen, ice it, and put some bengay on it and i will be good to go.

as for classes this week we had one more full day of Penal Code, then covered Juvenile Delinquents, Gangs, First-Aid, and began learning about driving. lots of material covered again this week, and we are having one of our first major exams on Thursday which will be Penal Code. everyone is pretty stressed out about this because it will be over 15 chapters. i am familiar with most of the material and should do fine, but i like to stress on issues for some reason.

next week should be very fun. we will be doing more fighting techniques and we are going to learn to drive fast! i'm looking forward to getting out of the classroom for a couple of days and doing something fun!

we are still holding strong at 44 recruits and we shouldn't lose any more unless it comes down to injury.

hope everyone has a good week! recruit reece will bring you your weekly update again next week.
