Equilateral Triangles at the Bottom of a Quarry

Rain has come! It has been, what, six weeks? Sure. Six weeks since our last rain and ALAS here it is! No more burn bans! Although, it was after the downpour that I got into my car and realized that there is a leak somewhere. I mean, when you are staring into the face of an inch of water in your floorboard, clearly there is a leak. Sigh. How many financial crisis' can a girl hit before she goes out of town two weekends in a row?
I'm really excited about my scuba trip next weekend. I will be getting certified in Deep, Night/Limited Visibility, Navigation, and Boat diving. I was a little anxious about the night diving, but still excited! Although, after last night, I don't think I can handle the navigation part. I like to prepare for tests. I take the time to roughly analyze a professor's teaching skills and practices to better understand how they will test. I mean at the end of the day, for most classes, I have no use or desire in learning beyond what they will test me for. As Keith went over how we would go through certification, I freaked. I mean the guy starts talking about equilateral triangles and degrees of turns and addition and subtraction of different degrees. Math? At the bottom of the quarry? Oh and you want me to time our kicks? And make sure the entire dive is under a certain time, at a certain depth,and lets not forget to breath!
Stressed.
It should be a growing experience.
Everyone likes those.
Pelham, AL here we go!
