Um, congratulations?

Seriously, don’t get too excited, there, dude.

Oh, I get it – Ashleigh “congratulated” your instructor-level ass six ways from Sunday, and now you’re just too worn-out to express yourself with much vigor.

Cool!

YAY YOU PASSED!! But why no phone call?!? I’m a little hurt…

p.s. I dunno what I’m happier about, you passing your exam, or putting that douche in his place.

HAHA!

After seeing what a dozen other instructor candidates (from a different dive school) passed, given their performance, I’m shocked, and realizing how little it takes to pass to be an instructor… congratulations arent really in order.

Buuttttt… I guess it’d be bragging if I told you guys I got a 92% on my standards exam, two 100%'s on the other exams, and only one wrong on each of the others, a 5/5 on my skill circuit, a 5/5 on my confined water presentation, a 4.8 on my classroom presentation, and a 5 and a 4.5 on my open water presentations. :wink:

Last night we had our IE pool party again, and it was a ton of fucking fun. This morning, well, afternoon, I woke up at 3PM and I’ve never been so hungover in my life hahaha.

I’ll post pictures and more about the party later, when I’m feeling a bit better.

I didnt think you, or Joanne, for that matter, would appreciate me calling you at half three in the morning.

Hahaha. I’m still waiting for his reply. I’ll give him a few more days before he’s deemed a pussy.

Hey, congratulations.

But don’t get too cocky. You’re coming home to a challenge. The poor visibility and entanglement hazards in Long Island Sound make for dangerous waters. Better stick to sailing :wink:

wow, alot of folks have alot to say over the internet - as usual. i accept personal appointments by the way.

lighten up diver boy, i was kidding you.

HA! The visibility here isnt much better, if at all, than diving at home.

Go figure, we had a .5 current and about 2-3 meters at best yesterday for our exam.

I was ribbing you; stop being a girl. If I wasn’t ribbing you, I’d say so. No one suggested you pay for sex, etc. I was just expecting more shenanigans, that’s all.

Your first response was over the top, but that’s to be expected from the internet; along with all those other tough guy replies.

The place is becoming T-Girl for sure with all the running off at the mouth from a keyboard.

yo Ryan… i just want to say this is a really cool thread. i have read it all in one day and i think that this has been a great experience for you and hopefully you are gaining more from your “real world” experience than you would at school… especially doing something you love…

and i think i added in that part about me reading it all in one day for my own astonishment… so my bad… i have the attention span of a 4 year old…

You would be correct my friend…

Pool Party

Stupid crocagator.

Underwater beer drinking. Descend.

Underwater beer drinking: not as easy as you’d think.

Although I couldnt tell you what was going on, I still like this picture.
