DIVEMASTER

I MOVED A FEW DAYS AGO INTO AN APARTMENT ABOUT A 3 MINUTE WALK FROM THE DIVE SHOP. ITS A SMALL ONE BEDROOM AND NOTHING SPECIAL BUT A PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD. I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 4 DAYS AND OTHER THAN SLEEPING I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS TOTAL.
I'VE BEEN HAVING A BLAST HANGING OUT WITH KAT AND ANNA EVERY NIGHT BUT AM SAD BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAVING IN 3 DAYS. SATURDAY NIGHT WE WENT OUT AND FELT LIKE DANCING SO WE WENT TO THE TWISTED TOUCAN A BAR THAT IS USUALLY FILLED WITH GREASY LOCALS BUT IS ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES TO DANCE. WE DRAGGED ALL THE GUYS WE WERE HANGING OUT WITH ALSO EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND WE ALL ENDED UP DANCING FOR LIKE 3 HOURS. I WAS CALLING IT A SWEAT FEST. THEN ANNA AND I WENT SWIMMING IN THE POOL IN MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD. SUNDAY NIGHTS ARE USUALLY PRETTY CALM AND WE ALL WENT TO SUNDOWNERS FOR A FEW DRINKS AND IT CLOSES AT 10PM AND NOTHING ELSE IS OPEN. SUNDOWNERS HAS THIS PIER THAT HAS A SECOND STORY ON IT WE HAVE JUMPED OFF OF IT FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT KAT IS REALLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS SO WE DECIDED SHE HAD TO JUMP OFF OF IT BEFORE SHE WENT HOME. KAT, ANNA, CAMERON AND I WENT AND STARTED JUMPING OFF THE TOP RAILING. IT IS SO MUCH FUN AND I SCREAM EVERYTIME. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD A SORE GROIN, I DON'T KNOW IF I INJURED IT OR IF IT'S FROM ALL THE SWIMMING BUT WHEN I HIT THE WATER IT SPREAD MY LEGS AND RE-INJURED IT. OF COURSE I KEPT JUMPING BUT FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS I'VE BEEN SLIGHTLY LIMPING AND FEEL LIKE AN OLD WOMAN. GREAT TIMING TOO BECAUSE FOR MY DIVEMASTER I HAVE TO DO AN 800M/2400FT SWIM POSSIBLY TOMMORROW. AGHHH!!! I'LL BE FINE.
PFELTZ AND I FINALLY GOT TO DIVE TOGETHER THE OTHER DAY. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD DIVE AS WELL SO THAT WAS FUN. SHE'S OFF TO MAP THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND FOR 2 WEEKS SO I WON'T BE SEEING HER AS MUCH.
I STARTED MY DIVEMASTER YESTURDAY AND I THINK IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE FUN. THE OWNERS OF THE SHOP TOOK THE STAFF OUT FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT FOR KAT AND ANNA, THEY JUST FINISHED THEIR DM. IT WAS REALLY NICE.
I AM STARTING ASSISTING CAMERON TODAY ON HIS RESCUE COURSE. WHICH SHOULD BE FUN SINCE I ONLY HAVE TO PLAY THE VICTIM. I FEEL BAD FOR THE POOR GIRL THOUGH BECAUSE SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO CARRY ME UP THE BEACH. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED MY RESCUE COURSE AND NOW I'M ASSISTING ON ONE. I GUESS I WILL BE DOING THAT FOR ABOUT 3-4 DAYS AND ALEX WILL ALSO BE TAKING ME OUT SO I CAN PRACTICE SOMETHINGS I DON'T FEEL AS COMFORTABLE WITH LIKE NAVIGATION. IT'S CRAZY TO THINK THAT IN 7 WEEKS I WILL BE LEADING DIVERS AROUND AND NOW I WONDER HOW THE DM CAN FIND THE BOAT WHEN EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME TO ME. IT WILL BE INTERESTING.
THINKING OF MY TRAVEL PLANS AND REALLY CONSIDERING THAILAND. IT IS SO MUCH CHEAPER AND I COULD EASILY GET A JOB AS A DM AS OPPOSED TO AUSTRALIA WHICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND FROM WHAT I HEAR HARDER TO GET A JOB BECAUSE YOU NEED A WORK VISA.
I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO AMSTERDAM FOR NEW YEARS BY KAT AND ANNA WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST AS WELL.
LAUREN IS COMING IN 2 WEEKS AND I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER HERE. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO GO TO ANTHONY'S KEY RESORT, 10 MIN AWAY, AND DO THE DOLPHIN SWIM. FIRST YOU ARE IN SHALLOW WATER AND THE DOLPHINS DO TRICKS AND THEY TKE PICS OF THEM KISSING YOU AND THEN YOU GET TO SNORKEL WITH THEM IN 25 FT OF WATER. I ALSO WANT TO TRY TO RENT A CAR ONE DAY AND ALSO
DO A LOT OF SNORKELING. POOR GIRL HAS TO BRING AN EXTRA DUFFEL FOR ALL OF US VAGABONDS THAT CAN'T GET WHAT WE NEED ON THIS ISLAND.
NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK. HERE IS A PIC OF NIKO (JESSI'S ROOMMATES SON) AT SUNDOWNERS WITH THE PIER WE JUMPED OFF OF IN THE BACKGROUND.
I WILL BE PRETTY BUSY BUT WILL TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THE BLOG.
