My Swim Final

... remember the last post when I talked about my swimming final? yeah... this is how it went down:

I had already attended my water aerobics class prior to my swim final so my body was already fairly tired. The fact that I had to put dry clothes on top of a wet swim suit was also equally annoying. u__u;;
Sooooooo... there we were, standing in a line at the edge of the deep end. We were fully clothed with long sleeve button-up shirts, jeans, shoes and socks. (and goggles, thankfully) I was really nervous just before we began. I looked over at the life guard guy who was also taking the class and I asked him if he would save me if I started drowning. He looked at me funny and said, "What? I'm going to be busy doing the same thing you're doing!"... that didn't make me feel any better. Our swim instructor kept us standing there for several minutes, practically clueless, as she began to vaguely describe how we're suppost to inflate our clothes. When we finally jumped in and started swimming, I started to feel a little better because I didn't feel like all the attention was focused on me. I was the last one to make the trip across the pool back to the deep end. It was really hard swimming fully dressed! When I got back to the deep end I started inflating my shirt... that wasn't so hard. The pants were the hard part. As I was trying to inflate my pants I breathed in a large amount of water and began to choke. Immediantly the life guard guy dropped what he was doing and came to my rescue along with another student! xD It was like instinct! Never the less, I somehow managed to finish the final and inflate my pants. (lol) Afterword everyone told me how good of a job I did... like they felt sorry for me! :p Oh well, as long as I get a A!

This semester is almost over...

Well, well, well... I can't believe this semester is almost over!! I am so thankful.

Tomorrow I have my swimming final, which I am not looking forward to since I have to do this crazy survival thing in the deep water. I have to jump in the deep end fully clothed, (long sleeve button-up shirt tucked into jeans w/ a belt and socks and shoes) swim across the pool to the shallow and then swim all the way back without stopping and perform a dead man's float without flailing around or losing focus. x_x'' Here comes the hard part! Then while I have my face underwater I have to unbutton my shirt and blow into it, making a floating device. After I have inflated it I have to take my shirt off and take my pants off and make my pants a floating device. Then I think she's gonna have us tread water or something... I dunno, but it sounds a little much for me being as that I signed up for the BEGINNER class. I'll try my best, that's all I can say, lol.

Lately work at BAM has been interesting... our regional manager is coming for a visit, and my managers are really working hard to make sure the store is straight by the time she gets here. We keep joking that Daryll is going to get fired... well, Daryll AND Falyn actually... but that's just me. ;p lol. I love them both dearly, so I really don't want them to get fired - I just like to tease. ^o^

My gerbil babies have all grown up now. *sniff* I remember when they were sooooo tiny! (now they're just tiny.) Sadly all but two of the five have died. ;__; But I guess it's for the best because it would have been even harder for me to give them up. I was able to find homes for two of my other gerbils so I could keep the babies, though - which is good because my Dad won't care that way. :3 As long as I don't get anymore! lol.

This past weekend my Mom came to visit me! ^o^ We went to IHop for lunch, and then shopped at the mall, Target, and Maurices. It was so much fun! We bought a bunch of nice smelly stuff at Bath & Body Works and a few other things here and there. I plan to go back to Grapevine to visit her soon since I didn't get much time to spend with her Saturday AND I found out that I can take my macbook to the Apple Store for repairs on the cracks that I have because it's covered without warrenty or applecare. (sort've like a recall) o.O Amazing! That's what a bunch of mac people have told me anyways, so I'm gonna atleast try! Might as well, eh?
