I'm doing 41 things
If you know how my boyfriend drives you will understand why I was so scared to ride with him on jet skis, but it turned out to be an amazing experience. While we were in Myrtle Beach this weekend, we got the chance to go out on jet skis for the afternoon. We followed our guide around the bay for a little bit while she showed us some sites. We saw the oldest bridge in North Carolina and an island that only goats live on. Then she took us out into the wide ocean to follow behind some shrimping boats. While we were there probably about 10 dolphins were playing in the boat’s wake. It was amazing! They were so close we probably could have touched them. I really really wanted to “accidentally” fall out of the boat and try swimming with them but they were wild and there was probably a lot more stuff down there too. It was a lot of fun though, and eventually even I started enjoying the wave jumping and going super fast through the water.

I was trying to reread all of the books before I read the last one so that everything would be fresh in my mind. After a week of having the new book I couldn’t resist anymore. I got all the way up to about half way through order of the phoenix. Maybe next time another movie comes out I will reread them all over again because they are amazing books and everytime I see new things and insights that I hadn’t seen before. I just need to give myself more time to read them. I’ve got a couple chapters left in book 7 and then I’m on to my adult book list!
About a week ago I finished my cpr and first aid class at the college. I’m comfortable doing it and would totally be willing to perform cpr in the case of an emergency. I think it is an important life skill that everyone should learn how to do and keep updated on.
