Since I had not passed my SCUBA class last weekend, I went to the pool last night where the instructor had another class (he had said it would be ok) Carolyn couldn't go as she was sick. I basically played around in the water, swimming back and forth and working on my boyancy... trying to remain neutral. Neutral is where you can just hover above the bottom and not float up. I got pretty good at that and then he had me work on the dreaded mask. The mask is what really screwed me up last time. We are tested on being able to take it off under water and put it back on and then blow the water out of it with your nose (this is all in case it gets kicked off your face or something.) Well on Saturday, I found out later that my mask was too tight so I had a lot of trouble getting it on. He said I had the technique right but got panicky when it wouldn't go on.... So we did it over and over last night (after I loosened it up of course) I really got the hang of it and had no problem. I did so well that he had me take it off and have him swim me around the pool and then put it on. I definitely would not have been able to do that before. Last thing he did was have me take off the mask, remove the regulator (the thing in my mouth that allows me to breathe) pull off my hood, put the regulator back in and replace the mask. I did it perfectly!!! That isn't something he normally has people do so I felt really good about the whole thing by the time I went home and he said I will definitly ace the test this time. We are going to the beach on Sunday for my last test and Jamie will be coming too!!! How exciting!!!

Tomorrow is going to be a great day too! We are having out big garage sale! YAY!!!!! I can finally get all this crap out of my garage and get ti organized. I am very excited... although not excited about the 7am start time... which means waking up at 6...

Anyway, have a good weekend!
