so over the past two days i have recieved good responses to my mock IE that i have finished. i had my open water demo which proved to be difficult in demonstrating surface skills in choppy water (soon to be a lot choppier as we get the backlash from hurricane dean, supposedly on monday). but my rescue skills and decents went off without a hitch scoring a 4.6 out of 5 and my theory exams did not drop below 90% in all areas with a few 100%s, i was happy and exhausted. after recieving an average of 98% today as a sum up, i feel prepared and ready for the last step, the IE. i'm going to be sorry to go because i've enjoyed diving so much, but utila is not the place where i want to begin my career because of the fact there is not much aquatic life and the island is not exactly a place where i can see myself being culturally or intellectually fufilled. it has been a rewarding experience and i'm glad to say that i think the IE will not be a problem. soon i will be making my way back to mexico to begin lesson planning for my grade 4s. luckily, this has been a learning experience in the art of teaching as well and i will take back a lot of my techniques and apply them to teaching english.
two days of rest and relaxation, i will dive four times to make my 100th dive the one of the IE, how momentus. i hope to explore and take some pictures since after the IE i will be boarding a boat hours after to make my way back to san pedro to catch a plane back to my mexican home the following day.
whirlwind, but pretty usual for my life.
off to take a well deserved nap.
