so my last day off we went to beaches which was to die for, lounging at a new place other than clubmed and practising my french was such a great plan, we ate good food, relaxed and i pampered myself by getting a pedicure. heaven for a girl who is on her feet for hours on end. after that day we started our rescue diving and completed two out of four dives. we did all the skills and were "prepared for the unexpected" after setting the anchor and mooring we learned how to prep the boat for the dive site. everything was smooth sailing until the chief of scuba, matt, decided to test us out and pretend to be unconcious at the surface, so i booted it to him and towed him while mimicking rescue breaths, and then exited with him onto the boat. i was maybe the most exhausted person ever, after two deep dives, rescue scenarios, then saving the big cheese of scuba who also happened to have his father on the boat watching as well. whew. luckily i did it almost perfectly (we need to mess up a bit so that we are ultra prepared for the future) so i was happy when matt asked if he was going to be hiring us for next season (suggesting that we should go ahead and continue with divemaster and instructors) so that was a nice boost to the ego. in terms of bar, we have one of our girls leaving on friday which comes as a shock but due to family issues she has to leave, needless to say antonio is not happy since she is a strong bartender but we will be getting two new girls by the end of the month. and new blood is usually a good thing. antonio also told melina and i that we will be the assistant chiefs when he and nathy leave on stage (training in miami) so we will be responsible with his keys to close the bar. we really are learning how much he not only appreciates our work but how strong we are in the village. it is interesting to have pull at clubmed as opposed to being given bullocks, as antonio puts it, all the time. i guess i really need to start thinking of what i'm doing next season because he is always on me about grooming be to be chief of bar but i want to start getting back into art. it is weird that your plans can change so quickly.
so other than that, the sand and surf are still here, the diving (oh i finally started to see sharks again which was so great) is still fantastic, we are going to west caicos on thursday as it will be my last day off for two weeks due to the chiefs on stage. tonight is texmex and for some reason i still am not sick of the food.
two more days til day off.
love to all.
