So I'm working to become divemaster certified. So far I have passed my skin ditch/recovery, SCUBA ditch/recovery, buddy tows, buddy breathing, swim 75ft underwater holding breath, bailout, and now only have three tasks left (440 yard swim with no mask/fins/snorkel in 12 minutes, 880 yard swim w/ mask/fins/snorkel in 18 minutes, written test). I have been stressing about these two swims because I am a liiitttlee (lot) hydrophobic especially in murky water. Well guess where I have to do these two swims? Yup. The murky, nasty, turtle-grassy boat channel here in Roatan. My friends and instructors finally forced me to do the 440 (tougher of the two). Here is the story of my swim:

I got in the channel and was like FML LETS DO THIS and rambo-hulked my way through the first lap. I reach the end and turn to start my second lap and stop and say "There is no fucking way. Im gunna dieeeeeeee!" And alex is like "NO BIATCH YOU GOT THIS" So Im like "JESUS FUCK---" and take off again, struggling like a drowning fish. I hit the end of the second lap and am like "omfg I can taste death and it tastes like oily fish sea water" and Alex is like "TIME TO SING BRITTANY SPEARS YOU GOT THIS GIRL" so I'm all "OOPS I DID IT AGAIN" as I reach the last lap. By then Im like "Holy motherfucking hell this water is now lava" as I feel my skin beginning to crisp under the noon-equatorial sun. Alex is like "Come on push it" which is code for "GODDAMNIT HURRY UP YOU'RE BEHIND ON YOUR TIME" so I'm like "FUUUUUUU----" and I flail like a beached jellyfish as I push my way towards the finish line. Then she's all "YEAH MOTHERFUCKIN HALF WAY ONE LAST HALF PUSH PUSH" and I'm like "YEAH" and my body's like "FUCK NO." I see the ladder like 1,000,000 feet away (AKA 15ft) and am like "omfg omfg omfg omfg NO WAY CAN I LIVE THROUGH THIS" Alex is all "PUSH IT" and I'm like "FUCK NO" And she's like "YOU HAVE THIRTY SECONDS" and I'm all "ARE YOU SHITTING ME!?!?!" and she's all "NO" So I'm all "FUCK YEAH I GOT THIS" -flailflailflailflail- -DONK- "YAY LADDER!!!" and Alex is then like "YAY!!" -cheers- and I'm all like "I'M A FUCKING GOD FUCK YEAH" -passes out- Final time: 11'46" Like a boss.

So. As you can see, I'm just a total fucking badass who raped the channel and all its fishy inhabitants and savored a bath in its motor-oily goodness. 'Nuff said.
