hey everyone.
sorry its been a while since i wrote, basically my instructor course has been coming to and end so ive been working solid all the time. i havnt even been diving properly since my last post because we've been doing so much work in the classroom. yesterday i had my 6 written instructor exams.... on my friggin birthday =/ but it was ok, passed all of them. today i have my presentation exam where i have to give a mini lecture on diving, then i have an open water teaching exam, basically, alot of exams, and even more tomorrow. so its stressful times but if i pass these next 2 days then im officially and instructor and you can all meet me in australia and ill teach you how to dive haha. in other island related news - my wonderful house mate owen returned from a night out with a vicious story. he was in one of the big bars on the island, which just happens to be a mafia bar. and some white guy walks into him, so he pushes him, without realising this guy is mafia (probably there only white member but still) and literally turned around to see loads of thai guys and 3 of them showing guns and him.. then the guy said "your a decent guy, but remember i could make you disappear and no one would ever know about it" ............ fuck going to that bar ever again.
in other news my house is a mess because one of our dogs got in last night and fucking destroyed everything. i wouldnt say im missing home at all but yesterday made me really miss my mates.
over the next couple days after exams finish some of us are guna get a kayak and try and get around the whole island in a day.. obvious with beer and shit as supplies.
last time i was here we found an area of a small bay where baby blacktip reef sharks live, so were guna go down there and play with those guys, there tiny only about a meter long in total.
hope everyones well!
