Coursework and BBQ Galore

I woke up at 5:30 AM today to work on my prescriptive teaching presentation. For some reason preparation usually takes more time than it looks. In class, my presentation went fairly well. I’ve done so many of these presentations I don’t feel nervous anymore doing them.

There’s lots of work today. I have to prepare two open water teaching presentations. My stress is building. I watched a few videos Warren recommended I watch—Underwater Navigation and the Rescue Diver Professional edition (Conduct and Marketing). Additionally, I did some reading late in the evening in order to prepare for tomorrows exercises.

Warren came into the classroom while I was studying and was surprised I was still studying. He was going to the weekly Thursday Point bar BBQ and asked me if I wanted to go. I joined him because I didn’t want to go home and cook instant ramen.

The BBQ was the best deal I’ve had here in Puerto Galera—195 pesos for BBQ chicken and an all you can eat salad bar. The salad bar was extensive and the chicken was cooked well. After a few beers, I felt pretty relaxed but now I was sleepy. It’s a problem given I have so much homework to do.
