Complete the IDC. Check.

The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is now complete. I have one week until the Instructor Examination. I'm not worried about the pool portion, the open water portion, or the classroom presentations portion. The thing I'm worried about is the physiology exam. There is a 5-section dive theory exam (Physics, Skills and Environment, Physiology, RDP, and Equipment). Physiology is clearly my weakness. Until the exam, I'm going to be studying as well as trying to knock out my last 13 dives that I need before I'm allowed to be certified. My problem is not having people to go diving with.

Meg went back to the mainland so I'm here with Bruce (the rabbit) holding down the fort, quite well if I do say so myself.

I watched God Grew Tired of Us last night and thought it was very interesting. It's about refugees from Sudan who are given the opportunity to live in America. Very interesting indeed. It made me really consider life in America and although it seems like this is the coolest most awesome country, there are a lot of things we don't have right. I'm not talking about government or the way things are run, I'm talking about the general population as a whole - our attitudes. Just watch it and think about what I said. You'll see.

I'm trying to secure some World Cup tickets but my only problem is that the FIFA website is not being helpful. It's not letting me apply for tickets in Cape Town. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Happy birthday Mom!!!

  1. Thanks! So what are you doing here? Practicing for the shower portion?

  2. The shower portion is probably the hardest part of the exam so I'm trying to put in a lot of practice. Only a few days left to work on it.
