Grades are in...

The semester is done and all my grades are entered into the computer.  Thankfully.  It was a good, but a long one and I'm feeling weary.  Now, for some much needed rest and relaxation and Christmas festivities with coworkers and friends.  Then, onto some studying for my upcoming trip to the Philippines to do a scuba diving instructor course.  Back on the other side of the desk for a while for me. 

So my readers, updates will be sporadic(once or twice a week) until mid-Feb when I'll start thinking and contemplating and planning for next semester.  Then, I'll be back to my regularly scheduled blogging.
If you're fixing for a hit of learning though, why don't you check out this book?  It comes highly recommended by me!

Mind sharing where you are taking the IDC?

Malapascua Island in the Philippines

No way, I did my DM course there! I've been there twice. First time?

I've never been there, but I'm excited about it! The Thresher sharks seem really cool. I'm going with Thresher Shark Divers. What shop did you go with?

The Thresher sharks are very cool. They never get old no matter how many times you see them. I was with Exotic while there. The head Master Instructor who ran my course is opening a new shop further south in the Philippines with his wife who used to run everything else. I really liked them both which is part of the reason I went back to do the DM course after just being there on vacation the year before. I don't know who's running things now.

When I was there, they didn't do IDC courses on Malapascua but oh it's a-growin'! It's a great place to escape everything though. So chilled and not much to do. You'll love it!

Btw, I just want to say that I really enjoy your blog. I also teach at a uni in Korea so I can relate to a lot of what you talk about so thanks for that!^^
