A quick update.

The bulk of this narrative will be completed once I am back in the states, but at my age I was afraid I would forget some of my thoughts over time.  Senior moments and all.

I am learning a lot and I love to dive.  That said, I am surprised to find myself sometimes having to drag myself out of bed.  Ugh, do I really want to go dive?  Once I am on the boat and in the water, I am good to go.  But even as much as I love it, there are some days you just don't feel it.  I have to remember that even my best students will have off days.  As do I.

One day last week I did not take my camera.  It IS work, and I thought, hey, I will just dive and enjoy myself.  I felt like a kid who didn't do their homework! Then once we were in the water, the currents were so strong that I couldn't have taken pictures if I WANTED to...and I felt like a kid who didn't do their homework and got away with it.

The formal photography course is this weekend.  We should see better pictures later!
