Our men's group played poker last Wednesday. $5 buy in, and you can buy in again once within the first hour. Winner take all. As we were getting in close to the first hour, lots of people started going all in so they could buy in again. Anyway, I won, but I'll spare you the details since I think only Stan knows how to play poker and I already told him about my miraculous win.
Saturday, we went to the beach again. Boogie boarded, but the waves were really crazy. Big and unpredictable. We played volleyball again, and went to eat dinner, then watched Garden State. Pretty good movie, lots of good memorable quotes about life. I'm glad I found people who like to watch indie films. A lot of times, they are much better than your standard action flick/chick flick/comedy/adventure movie that is peddled to the masses.
Anyway, something I noticed at USC. There are a lot of asians, of course. And a lot of them are from Taiwan/China/overseas. One thing you'll notice if you go to a foreign country (Taiwan) is that the girls hold hands a lot. They walk around hanging on each other's arms, giggling and stuff. Very....uh.....different. But when I was walking around campus, I saw it here too. I think someone should tell them that isn't an "acceptable" practice here in the States.
I went to my first SCUBA class yesterday. We basically learned the basics of pressure/volume/density and all that good stuff. Lots of precautions you have to take to make sure you don't pop your eardrums, or make your lungs explode. But the best part is this: (quote from my teacher) "There are two types of divers, those who pee in their suits, and those who lie about it." Great. So basically, you are diving, right? And you're underwater for like an hour. And the water pressure increases so it makes you want to go pee. What do you do? Go to the surface and find a bathroom? Nope. You just go right there in your suit. That's why he said we would all want to get our own booties (SCUBA shoes). The pee just goes down, and has nowhere else to go, so it just sits in your booties. Doesn't that just make all of you want to learn to SCUBA dive? I know I do!!!
First SCUBA session in the pool today. Hope I don't have to pee. We don't actually wear our wetsuits until the 4th pool session, but still.
Dave and Busters tomorrow for men's group. Maybe we'll play poker again. Maybe I'll win again. Nah.
Anybody watch the Presidential debate? Anybody gonna watch the VP debate? Didn't think so.
