-make posters
-go over the history of the red crose
-go over the different typis of swimming stroks you can do
-go over the different types of learning
and more

that was not the tiering part. the part that has worn me out this weekend and soon to have me out next weekend is the swiming. i am normaly a strong swimmer but hey i still get tired this is what we did:
-20 laps of the pool non stop
-two laps of front crawl
-two laps of back crawl
-two laps of side stroke
-two lapes of brest stroke
-one lape of egg beter(that is when you tread water but without your hands so you end up going back wards)
-tread water for 3 minutes
-all the different steps for teaching each one of thoes stroks
- act like we were little kids and the instructors showed us how to teach little kids.
-and much more that would take me for ever to list.

any way i am pooped and all that i can say right now is thank god that i get to rest and hoory for my dad buying a hot tube because it is the best thing ever right now.

lights go out

ok last night around nine the power went out at my house. it was very crepy for me becuse i live in a area were there are no street lights and it goes compleatly dark. keep in mind that i am also a chicken and get scard very easaly. normaly when i get scared i will turn to my older brother we do not even have to be talking we can just sit in the same room and i feel better. but hey guess what older brother was not home. infact he is all the way in ausralia and will not be back for six months. so the thought that came to me.

i could just watch movies and tv shows on my ipod up in my room so i am destracted and not getting scard or being a chicken. but guess what the battery is low and does not have enought power to let me do that. so i am sitting in my room sort of creped out then i look over and i see that my bible is sitting on my night stand. i pick it up and start to read it. it is great my fear was gone. and i felt like i was back in old times reading the bible by candle light. it was really cool. i managed to fall asleep no longer being creeped out.
