Today I finished my pre-requisites for life-guarding, 500 metre swim, that was only the first test :o. Yeah I feel like i'm toned and super fit for swimming, man I struggled, I did it but I know I struggled.
What I can take away from that is seeing as I have no body fat, I sink, floating and me don't mix. So maybe I need to load up on the supersizes, but saying that I need to get fitter and clogged arteries wouldn't help.
Everyone from all the friends I made, to Bill, Ryne and Angel (pablo angle) all encouragerd me, and it's comforting to know everyone's here for you, they cared about you even before they met you. What an awesome way to lead your life.
So from now i'll be up by 7.00am every day, perfecting my techniques so when the 800 metre final test comes, I'll be half-man, half fish.
Chilling here wondering why my right eye is starting to swell, pretty sure Tom waited till i was asleep to punch me, but it's going down so all good.
Hope all is well mum it's mandatory for you to read this.
Stay safe, I'll try to :)

Crash landing in Texas
Standing on top of Mount Vesper watching the sun set made me think things have definitely changed. I could never imagine being somewhere so awesome. The camp is sunny and the people i've met are all amazing in their own ways.
In the camp their is a small army of dogs all of which are possibly plotting to overthrow us humans and make us follow their every whim and desire. But seriously Texas is beautiful so far, in the day nothing but massive trucks, big malls and car dealerships as far as the eye can see. At night lights, these guys do not care for the economy ha.
Today life guard training started, passed basic swim, then the written test....I failed epicly, 10 minutes later i realise like an ass i've taken a totally different test from the rest of the class, a test with a subject none of us had studied and i silently took it without objecting....good one.
I brought a camera so I will upload pics, but so far I have 8, a good use of $142 dollars.
I'll update some more later as it's nearly lights out and i really can't think, it must be the benodryl Ryne gave me. So peace out! n_n
p.s The 100ft water slide is nothing more then kick ass!
