19 Days and Counting!!

So this past weekend I JUST realized how CLOSE my move is getting. 19 DAYYYS! Holy mother of God. Haha

Luckily I don't have too much to do before I leave. I already finished my physical, drug test, found a place to live. Now I just have to finish up my scuba certification, live through finals, and pack! All of those will be time consuming and miserable but I know the prize at the end of the yellow brick road will be simply marvelous!

I did find out today that since I'm working at Shamu (which is a little more intense than the other shows) that I will have to do yet ANOTHER swim test. This one is pretty easy and consists of pulling myself out of the pool in a couple different areas and free-diving to the bottom of the 40 foot show pool. Wowzers. My swim test in January consisted of a lot more but I only had to free-dive to 25 feet. Eh, what's 15 more feet right? :D 

So, I got the idea from my friends Madeline and Donut, both of whom got great internships as well, to create this blog. I figured it's a great way for me to keep track of such a memorable time of my life, as well as for my friends to keep up with everything going on with me. 

I'm very excited/nervous/scared/thrilled/exhilarated about the move and the next few months. I cannot wait to pursue my dream....
