Summer Goal

Every summer, I attempt to have some kind of goal. I hate working Mondays, so from Memorial Day to Labor Day I take every Monday off and attempt to do something worthwhile. Two years ago, it was trying to better myself by donating time to Habitat For Humanity. That was more work then I planned for, but it was also rewarding. As far as I know, all the houses I worked on are still standing! Bonus! We'll call it my big heart summer. Last year was more of a cultural experience. It was visiting a number of different zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens. I think of it as my discovery summer. Well, what's on the schedule for this summer?



This summer, the plan is to get SCUBA certified. I'm hoping this will be the building blocks to many great adventures in the future, so this will be my adventure summer. I thought long and hard about getting certified while I was in Maui. What better place to learn then paradise? The downside, it would have been a rushed class and the more I thought about it, I didn't want to waste my vacation learning and I also don't believe that it's the correct way to learn. A talk with Subaquatic Sports and Services reaffirmed my feelings on this. Now, I'm signed up for a 6 week course with them and will start June 1st.

Even after watching Dateline's Mystery in the deep blue sea the other night, I'm still excited about learning. Luckily, Becca probably wouldn't try to "off" me in this fashion, but you never know! Wow, is that a wild story or what? As if I needed another reason NOT to get married ;)
