Well, today is the last day I will spend in Florida, meaning that I must get up at four in the morning tomorrow for another twenty-two hour drive, which takes two days. Sure, it DOES get boring, but I do have several books and an ipod, which can provide hours of entertainment to keep me preoccupied. And I have the game "Phase" on my ipod, which is like guitar hero, and I admit that I've been playing it a bit more than I've been playing my guitar lately....
But once I'm back in Michigan, I get to go back to all of my old activities. Guitar lessons, kung-fu, camping, my job, and my NEWEST activity and hobby, scuba diving.
Once my dad sends me the pictures he took of me in the ocean, I'll post them. It's so awesome to think that I can finally do something more than snorkeling after all the years of watching my parents set up their scuba equipment (cuz now I got my own!). No more star gazing on night dives or sitting around in the swimming area at the quarry! Bwahaha! It makes me feel so much more educated too. I learned about all the equipment, the three main parts (BCD, tank, and reg) and about all the things you can get from diving (nitrogen narcosis, decompression sickness, decompression illness), and how to plan dives, establish neutral buoyancy, the buddy system, and all that boodle. I learned it all on the internet in three days, and then spent two days out in the ocean and in the pool. Only yesterday did I get my certification as a Jr. Open Water Diver (Which basically means I can dive wherever and whenever I want, as long as I don't exceed the depth of sixty feet, or dive without a parent until I'm fifteen).
So I've done a lot over (all the girls in the bathroom talking....who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins....just love that song) the past two weeks, and am ready to go home and see all my friends again. Of course I've been missing them. Especially Tristan. Mostly Tristan. But I miss Hannah, Amanda, and Gaby a lot too. And basically everyone else.
Hm....so, I think I'll post a descriptive post about Key West. And maybe I'll write a poem or be lazy and post song lyrics.
