Sunday's are always the best day of the week. Don't get me wrong, I adore Saturday, but Sunday is always a new adventure. Weather we're trying out taro shakes with tapioca, feeding the sharks, or just meeting new people! Today, it was our 4th time scuba diving! Originally, I woke up at 4:30, planning to run for awareness for woman abuse. I just couldn't pull myself out of bed, so instead I tossed and turned for another hour and a half until I had to get up for diving. We finally got to take our "finals" and we all passed! Thankfully, even those of us who didn't study...Then we hit the water! We practiced swimming down at 40 feet and saw lots of amazing things! The coolest parts were the feathery starfish, the giant spiky ball, and all the electric blue fish! I also got to backroll into the water for the first time which was exciting! After everyone was done, I worked alone with Kostas because last time I couldn't get in the water because of my foot. I'm scared that after today all the bumps and pain will be back, but it's a risk I'm totally willing to take. After we worked for a while, we went back to Sams for lunch and a short break. Then back out to open water! We did another dive and praticed losing our masks, buddy breathing, and taking all our equipment off. It was so much fun but so tiring! It was scary knowing that if something went wrong, all you have is another inexperienced buddy to help you! But of course, everything went well and now we're only one dive away from being certified! When we got back to SDA I spent at least an hour working on grades and lesson plans and trying to explain the confusing system to Jeanine. At least we took a break and went and got taro shakes with tapioca. If you've never tried one of those, WOW! Talk about a party in your mouth. I can't get enough of them! As we were leaving the stand a boy who was touring from Japan stopped us so he could take a picture with us. It was really funny because he didn't speak any English except "I can't speak English". It seemed to make him happy to pose with us though. When we got home, Tammi went to eat some of her leftover birthday cake. As she took her first bite she let out a huge shriek! I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I looked closely at the cake. There was a cockroach embedded in her bite! Needless to say, things aren't even safe from bugs in the refrigerator!
