Scuba

This wekend I did my lecture series and pool training for my scuba certification. Next weekend I'll be going on dives both on Saturday and Sunday for my open water requirements, which will mean that I will be a certified open water scuba diver by next Sunday.

Byron Bay was fun last weekend and we took a ridiculous tour called "Jim's Alternative Adventures," which was basically a bus ride with amazing music the whole time. On Sunday we just went and sat out at the beach all day.



Wednesday this week was a public holiday called "Ekka Day." Everyone got dressed up and went to the hourse races. It was like a mid-week Preakness, but it definitely wasn't quite as intense. Instead of the infield, the college student just congregate around the tracks and wander in circles.
