lifeguard training, uni, cooking

Lifeguard training went surprisingly well. Our twelve laps were multiplied to fifteen due to a smaller pool, but the shorter intervals served me well and I wasn't even that tired after them. We spent the next hour or so practising various rescues and procedures and my wisdom tooth didn't bother me at all (though I had taken an advil on top of my usual tylenol as a precaution). Afterwards, we switched to CPR training which was slightly boring until you had to practice it. We're basically doing a repeat of today tomorrow, which is good even if I'm rather tired this evening from the whole thing. (Have been given tomorrow off from work so will at least be rested.) Cold does seem to be a bit better today too. *fingers crossed*

Submitted my application to Rutgers today. Feeling annoyed by how many places demand copies of your transcripts (even my work wants one!) since it's so hard to get one out of the University of Leeds. I think I'm going to go back and just submit a request for ten of them to both my universities and get it over with (for at least a year or two). Tried to contact Boston University but everyone seems to be on leave. Bah.

I made a delicious meal of stir fried rice out of the left over rice from my stir fry on Sunday. I've never made stir fried rice successfully before but this was great with spring and normal onions plus portabella mushrooms. I was ravenous after lifeguarding class so I devoured more than my fair share. Desert was an impromptu smoothie of mango, strawberry, banana, yogurt, milk and a bit of sugar. It was delicious (though the mango was swallowed by the other flavours).
