In trying to write a little more than every 6 weeks I am going to force myself to sit down and get something out...
The new job is going pretty well. Its easy enough but still challenging in that what you do is important to make sure people are safe and have a good time. The other day I forgot to turn the air on for the BOB (the underwater scooter) and the thing sank fast with buoyancy The woman was having a great time, but I noticed the bubble kept filling faster than I was expecting and way higher than it should be. I couldnt figure out what was wrong for a second and then it hit me... it helps to have air to keep up the pressure. I quickly turned the tank on and everything smoothed out. The woman had a huge smile and was having a great time oblivious to what was going on. and with the regulator in my mouth and mask on, you couldnt the confused freakout face that I had on, so it was good for everyone. Other than that, it has only gotten easier and now is pretty routine. Its nice to have something physical and while the dive site is getting routine, its still cool to go dive with turtles and keep eyes out for the odd eel or reef shark that goes by.
School is going well, although my 4.0 is already shot. Last term was A, A-, so now with a 3.89, whats the point? Might as well change programs again and transfer the credits. Just kidding. It is frustrating to realize that I missed the A by on question that I had been arguing with my teacher and let it go because "one question wont affect the outcome of my final grade" (my words when I dropped the issue). Guess those 4 points were the difference in the end, missed the A by 3.5 points out of 533. This term is Lifespan, ARP seminar 1, and Mental health law. So I am starting to work on what my final project will be.
My schedule will be pretty busy, training full time, school and working 3 or 4 days a week. I am still waiting to fall into a regular schedule for work, but hoping they can work that out by next week.
Also I got a call back for a second interview with the Honda Center at Kapiolani Community College, for a job as a translator to work with Chinese students applying to the school. After the first interview I was sure that I wouldnt be called back. On the translation section of the interview I didnt have a clue how to translate "create cooperative pathway agreement for the mutual exchange and benefit of students between China partner A and US partner B..." so I went for gist and big ideas. Guess is worked. Now that I got the call back, I am not sure if I want it. Its a real job and there is no way that I can work full-time. study full-time and train full-time. thats too many full-time's. I am already sans social life... But I will go to the interview, at least for the practice and see what they have to offer. Who knows?
