summer time in the galapagos

you would think summer on the equator would be really hot....but no. Summer is the cool season in this part of the world ( i would say cold but, in fact, it's not cold) because of antarctic currents. It is recommended that when you scuba or snorkle you wear body suits to keep your temperature up. wow.

Also, I am going to try to sell bookmarks at a bookfair (woah) but the details on that are not worked out.

yay for swimming

Currently, I have swimming during my gym block. ew. Surprisingly, however, i learned something useful that i didn't already know about.....airplanes!...haha, no. I did learn something new about scuba diving, though! So the deal is, you have this giant tank of air on your back (I already knew this) and there are gauges on it to tell you how much air you have left, and are breathing in. OK, here's where the new stuff starts... you can control where you are underwater(on the floor, near the surface, or in the in between area) with this air tank...this fact may have been obvious, but I certainly did not know it.

Also, I am trying to work out my bookmark selling thing with my religious school holiday book sale. Not much to say about this until I get it approved or denied, so I will discuss this more in the future.

Finally, I am now 5% on my way to the Galapagos. yay! that's improvement!
