Congratulations Brooke and Jesse! My nephew was finally born, healthy and handsome. Name is still being decided on! I am so anxious to get back home and hold the little guy. Lessons went by pretty fast this week. They were so tiring on all of us especially with the sun. For the most part, most of my kids are well behaved. There are a couple of kids who have horrible adhd, though. It is tough teaching those kids because they literally never listen. After lessons on Friday night the lifeguards I work with and I went out for dinner at Coco’s Curry. I realized quickly I do not like curry. Afterward we walked back to base. On our way back some guy was saying some pretty profane things to us, so my roommate walked up to him and he realized he was a foot shorter than her. Instead of stopping, he decided to throw his fist back and tried to start a fight with her. His buddy pulled him back and then a couple of other guys that were watching started yelling at him for being disrespectful to women. Not too much longer a brawl broke out between 10-12 guys. It was pretty scary, we ran away from it so we did not get involved.
This morning we had to wake up and volunteer at a race on Camp Schwab. We were supposed to lifeguard during the race, but they had too many volunteers, so we watched instead. My boss, Ashley, decided to race in it since we didn’t have to volunteer. She ended up getting first place in the 750m swim. It was pretty neat.
During the day we started our scuba certification and IT WAS AWESOME. It was so cool to sit on the bottom of the pool for 20-30 minutes. Our instructor is amazing, we go over to her house to take quizzes and tests. Our first ocean dive is tomorrow. I am so anxious to start diving in the ocean. I am a little nervous about having a panic attack while I am 35-40 feet under water, so hope for the best!
There is a HUGE softball tournament going on Camp Foster this week and weekend so Camp Adventure decided they were going to make us ALL move out of the barracks. We have to pack up everything, including food, water, clothes…EVERYTHING. It is going to be such a pain in the butt since we all just got settled in. Then after a week they are moving us back on Foster. We will be staying at Camp Kinser while the softball teams are here, so every day we have to commute 40 minutes to work at back…not excited about that. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
