Week 5 out of 8 of swimming lessons just ended. It's actually the second time I'm taking basic swim. I have a different teacher this time, but the TA for the class is the same. Our first instructor mostly stood at the sidelines and yelled at us while the TA was in the water with us. The new teacher spends a fair amount of time in the water with us and has a slightly different teaching style. Hopefully that'll help me learn faster? Only time will tell. I can float for a few seconds before I slowly start sinking, so that's progress I guess. I'm also finally getting a decent kick going, so hopefully that'll help me stay afloat longer. Our new instructor is also very fond of making us jump in the deep end of the pool. I've done it a few times, and I can get to the surface of the water after jumping, but I can't stay there long and need to cling to the side of the pool to not drown. Hopefully I can progress to adv. beginner in Fall quarter, but I'm starting to think I might need to take basic swim for a third time before I can move on. I'll get it eventually, I don't care how many times I need to retake this class!
One more month before my California visit! I really miss In-N-Out, as well as all of my friends and family.
And unfortunately, no new Pip pictures for now. I will have more soon!
