Back to the Books!

Ugh! I forgot how intense studying can be! I wasn't ever a bad student in school, it has just been a LONG time since I've had to sit down and study! While he was here, Donny convinced me to do my Rescue course online and then we would spend time next week working on the dives together. I feel VERY lucky to have someone as qualified as Donny to help me expand my diving skills and to learn from and I am SO excited to be able to spend a ton of time in the water next week...

I am heading back to Catalina and I CANT WAIT! I also learned that you can dive at night and catch your own lobsters -- I am strangely excited about the possibility of "catching" my dinner. I also am determined to find an octopus -- but I will not be eating or catching him! They are just too cute to take home :)

On the running front, I am looking forward to a nice, quiet run today... outside. It is a brisk 30 degrees outside, and the perfect weather to hit Fletchers. I love running in the cold, even though I HATE being cold. There is a sense of calm and quietness when there is nobody else on the trail with you. Being that it is Christmas Eve (omg where did the time go), I am sure there will be others out there too. :)

Anyway - for those of you reading this (all 2 of you, lol) -- PLEASE make a comment on my blog application for Bali. It is truly a dream for me, and I need as much help and support as I can possibly get to help the judges pick me.

The link is here and you will need to register (they won't spam you - just send you the password). Follow the link and log in using the password that they sent you. You will then need to follow the link back to my page and make a comment below my name. THANK YOU in advance for taking the time to help send me to Bali!
