so yesterday we started the IDC, we were retested on five of our divemaster exams and i passed all with flying colours, upping my confidence (since the tests are considered one of the hardest parts) and reminding me that i can do this. after a homecooked meal and a late night visit from the recently certified DM's, i got to sleep after a pep-talk from a much calmer recent grad of the idc program who told me just to take it one day at a time, seems to be a popular idea.
today was a bit more stressful. in the morning we went through ways in which to teach and then after a brief break where i practiced spanish with the group i'd been put into, we went over our 18 skills. i performed them all very well but need to work on my speed, i seem to run through them very quickly and need to remember to do them slow and steady so as to teach rather than show.
tonight i prepare some notes for my presentations, go over my skills and visualize mistakes and then get some sleep. tomorrow i may attempt the night dive but i'm kind of liking this apartment business and just chillin'out and doing my work.
thanks to my dutch housemate i have the use of freeinternet for a couple days before she moves out so i'll try to update as much as possible.
love to all,
k
