Happy Halloween!

Instead of being fun, I spent Halloween studying. I told people my costume was a "disaffected college student." But I'm so busy all the time, I can't go out and party! In Japan, do you celebrate Halloween? It's fun to pretend to be someone else for a day.

This evening, I studied my scuba diving manual. Scuba diving is my favorite thing to do, though it does consume a lot of time. I'm training now to be a divemaster. A divemaster is the first professional certification that a diver can attain. It's a lot of work. I have to understand physiology, chemistry, physics, and first aide for scuba-specific injuries. But scuba diving is really fun and rewarding! Last year, at Christmas, I went to the Cayman Islands with my family. The islands sit on an underwater cliff that drops 3000 feet. While we were diving, we saw three giant turtles and a humpback whale. It was amazing!

Do you have any unusual hobbies?
