Week 6 of Semester 1--Scuba!

I'm just a busy, busy bee lately...

Well, not on Saturday--I spent the day playing Half Life 2 and watching Dirty Jobs... literally for the whole day.

Went on the first "real" dive on Sunday... and while it was scary at first being deeper than a pool, it was AMAZING. Our first dive was to a reef called St. Peter's Reef, where we looked at a lot of corals, tons of fry (baby fish), a stingray burying itself in the sand, and practiced a lot of our skills. The second dive was to a wreck called River Taw--but the visibility made it really difficult to see much. I had a bit of a run-in with swallowing too much seawater and ended up also smacking the back of my head off the tank, but it was still worth it. It's tiring though! I passed out for 2 hours after getting home and then was in bed by 9:30/10:00. I can't wait for the next set of dives--Vajai says he'll take us back to the River Taw, so I hope it clears up a little bit.


Classes are... still kind of dull, but what choice do I have otherwise? :/ I hope that the next set of exams goes as well as that first one did. So far, I have pretty solid B's.

The birthday is coming up--so far I've got a busy weekend planned (as it's also the Midsemester break). Friday, we're going to the Mariott for sushi and then back to the boys' apartment to play some games... Saturday, my roommates and I are going to a restaurant for dinner... and Sunday is a Ladies' Night wine tasting and potluck dinner. Sounds like a delicious weekend to me! So far, I've gotten cards from my mom and dad, my cats, and mom's work--thanks everyone! It made my day!
