Break from preperation
Oh mai, this isn't as simple as i first thought, i'm up to my ears in PADI standards, and documentation, times per skill number of students per qualified divemaster and above
never expected this to be easy, just didn't think it'd be REALLY hard :P
anyway, best get back to it :)

quick update before i shoot off
hey everyone :D
got to dash off to prepare for my divemaster practical today, which im not prepared for, because of exams, but ho hum :P
went diving yesterday at capernwray dive centre with my good friend Mr lythgo from reefers and wreckers =] (i don't remember if that's the right spelling of his name) was a truly amazing day, first dive we followed the wall round at about 14-17 meters for about 50 minutes, then we dropped into the sump (that has a depth of 20+ meters) played around in there for about 5 minutes and came back, all in all, 65 minutes underwater, was about 15-18 degrees, so was wonderfully warm :D serious thermocline (region where temp rapidly drops) at 15 meters though
second dive, saw a bit more, mainly because we set out with that intention xD 2 meter plat, 6 meter plat, Cessna aeroplane, onto the answer, then straight across the the african queen, on to the container, complete with helicopter and an oil rig, through that, onto the BBIIGGG passenger plane (its a HS 748 G-BVOV for anyone who's more into planes than me) through the plane, up onto the wall (lost my way for a second, undershot my distance) up onto the devil and lord lucan (old fiber glass horse from Blackpool, if you're too young to remember it, google it :) ) onto shergar (same thing) then left onto the dreamer, then onto thunderbird 4, then turned round and came home :D all in all, 46 minutes with a max depth of 17.5 meters
all in all, a good day :D
and today I'm spending all day at the dive shop sorting out my kit, and my theory and a load of other peoples kit for this weekend (did i mention i was going the farne islands yet? if not, I'M GOING THE FARNE ISLANDS THIS WEEKEND !! :D :D :D)
so I'll let you know how the first of my 3 practical assessments goes tonight =] wish me luck!

These past 2 years
Well, that's it, college is done for, and I've been thinking about it, and so much has happened over the past 2 years:
Made some awesome friends
Met 4 people I do not like
Made some close bonds with the teachers,
Laughed more times than I care to remember
Eaten about 1 KG of sausage butties
Eaten 1 bacon butty
Drunk hundreds of bottles of coke,
Went to ainsdale
Dissected at least 5 different things,
Sat 18 exams,
Gone through at least 2 trees worth of paper
Lost about 200 pens
Had 3 calculators,
Climed pendle hill
Lost a girlfriend
Found another
That one fizzled out
Been sure I was insane
Had that confirmed,
Lost a cousin :(
Haven't (yet) failed a single subject
Went to the states
Came back alone
Had two toenails removed
Cried a few times
Turned 18
Got wasted 4 times
Puked on one persons back
Played 20+ games of bowling
Watched even more films at the cinema
Lost someones friendship that was important to me
Learnt who my real friends are
Experimented on about 50 maggots,
Went on strike
Went to london
Went to liverpool
Spent sooo much money
Learnt how to programme
Learnt a lot of important stuff
Argued
Been punched 5 times
Had threats been made
Made threats of my own
Made some stupid mistakes
But made some awesome choices,
The past 2 years have easily been the hardest of my life, and normally people say that college was great and they'd do it all again, knowing what I do now? I'd do so much differently

sorry for the randomly dissapearing, but i'm NOT DEAD :D
had my last exam this morning and spent the rest of the day chilling and relaxing, now i'm about to tidy my room :D
i'm SOOO freaking glad that exams are over (They were begining to REALLY get me down and stuff :( it wasn't pleasent)
so now i just have to wait untill the 3rd thursday in august to find out my results (MORE NERVES!) but its all good :) i now have like 9 weeks to fill until then, so i'm thinking i may learn french using rosetta stone, because it's something to do (after these first two weeks, which will be PACKED full of fun (so lots of updates to come ;) )
then after that, french lessons at home baby!
ALSO my best friend from college is getting a blog, so all you regulars should pop over to hers (i'll post a link when she gives me one) ahhh helping out a young blogger in need -day dreams-
ANYWAY! i'm off to tidy my room because i haven't done it in about 2 months and its become a bit of a sti xD
