Sous La Mer

–MY FABULOUS INSTRUCTORS

Though the preppier thing to do is to stay on water (either sailing or rowing), I decided to try my hand going down under. After a week's worth of chlorine, saltwater and a suntan later, I am finally a certified open water PADI diver! That was the reason why I have been away for the past week which feels incredibly long ago. Also I just finished my chem final a few hours earlier even though technically school ended a little more than a week ago. Too bad I forgot to ask someone to take photo of myself with all my gear on so there isn't one here.

I know some bloggers are already preparing back-to-school posts, but since I never really had much of a summer other than summer school so far, I really don't want to think about going back to school quite just yet. Let me savour the warmth of the sun and linger on the beach for a little longer?

And what would a nerd do at the beach without the ingenious summer beach towel + subscription combo from The Paris Review? I'll be getting mine here :)
