Day Three and Four - Busy Busy Busy

Day Three : 0630
Mood : Anticipating
Temperature : Cold

Another morning of 0630 PT and cold temperatures...PT is going to kick my ass and by the end I'm going to be chiseled and huge. The day started out with Construction Math again at 0800. More of a review and a exam to see what we know. Everything seems to be coming back to me pretty well which is comforting to know seeing as how I struggled with math in school. That took up the morning. After lunch it was back to Con Math and spent next couple hours covering volumes and square footage of rectangles and cylinders. Kind of confusing at first but I picked it up fairly quickly. Once that was done, the Administration faculty came in and talked about electives till afternoon muster at 1645. Once muster and chow was done, it was back to class at 1830 for Open Water Scuba class. (I'm stuck taking it again since I never got to complete my open water dives and they won't sign off on letting me take the dives without taking their class) That lasted till 2100, which sucked because we were all mentally done after being in class all day. Needless to say I didn't stay up too much longer yesterday. They weren't lying when they said the first month was going to be academic intensive...

Day Four : 0630
Mood : Exhausted
Temperature : Cold / Warm and Sunny (afternoon)

Today started off with us finding out we were "graduating" to join the upperclass men's PT routine since we were doing "extraordinarily well"... Senior PT is 10x harder than freshman PT because the repetitions are twice what we're use to and the exercises have various ways to accomplish them. Once that was over, at 0800 we went to Diving History and Diving Equipment which was a really interesting class. A lot of lingo to be learned her for "proper" talk over the communication boxes by both the Tenders (guys who look after the diver) and the Diver.
After lunch, it was back to class to go over more diving equipment and more dive lingo. Surprising myself again, I managed to soak up everything like a sponge. When it came time for review while couple kids were taking care of account updates, I was acing all the questions! The best part of the day though was setting up the dive station, preparing for a mock dive also for the fact we get our first dive TOMORROW!!!!!!! So excited for that! Other than that is was a relatively uneventful day. My mind is definitely shot from this sudden burst of learning. Going to call it an early evening so I'm fully rested for the first dive tomorrow.


Homesickness kicked in pretty good for a good half of the day. Just have to keep looking towards the end goal and what I will have accomplished...

"truth and happiness live inside forever"
