Well, it has took me about twenty minutes to get this bloody thing to let me use it.
Let me start of my blog with "My story"
I am an eighteen year old male living in Tenerife - yes, you have read that correctly. No, i do not speak fluent spanish, i barely speak working spanish, so my day to day conversations occur with myself.
By day i am a Scuba diver and by night i am a barman. I want you to know i am not starting this to whine about how my life is so difficult or to gossip about all the random people i have met during my time here, instead i am just going to write down my experiences as they come and let you, well. anyone read about them, sounds rather fun ay?
I wasnt born in Tenerife, i am actually from Scotland, and little place called Dumfries and Galloway. I am not going to get into specific locations incase there is any weird people reading, not to be mean, but hey, its a big bad world out there.
I came to Tenerife in June to persue my dream of being a diver, and well. i can tell you know that i have completed that dream, to a large extent. To the best of my Knowledge i am the youngest Master Scuba Diver Trainer in Tenerife - that i know of. I am based in Amarilla Golf in a nice family run dive resort and i have to say lifes just peachy.
I will give you a sneak picket into my life on a daily basis.
7:45 - alarm goes off - i attempt to wake up
7:55 - secondary alarm goes off - because i slept in.
8:00 - Stumble into the shower
8:07 - have a cup of tea
8:15 - get dressed for work, Shorts and work shirt
8:20 - out the door and walking to work
8:30 - Open up the dive center
as you can tell, i am a little OCD. I find it easer to work with timings, it makes things. well.. easier.
Now, as the dive center is a "Fluid and Dynamic" Company, my routines pretty much get screwed at this point.
from 9-5 anything can happen, i can be doing DSD's, or Open/Advanced Courses, cleaning the shop, helping customers, working the pools, checking emails or the best bit, having a laugh the the team.
Oh, i didn't meantion them. I am a member of a team of 7 people!
from here (5pm) i walk home and begin my 2 hours of relaxation before my next job. from 8pm- 2am i am a barman - Yeah, try working my hours mate. - i look like a zombie, feel like a zombie, to be honest.. im a zombie. My Boss, well. for Privacy sakes, lets call him "Not The Boss" says i shouldnt "Burn The Candle At Both Ends" but to be honest, i need the money and when im not working, im at my flat watching realllllyyy bad television series. - well, i am sort of getting into the Mentalist now, so its alllll good. But in a way its just a Psych spin off but serious, almost a carbon copy.
I am completly indipendant, i take my life day to day and like it that way. Whenever i think about the big picture it all goes crazy, my mind begins to haze and i loose all the moral fibers i have left. I mean, i'm 18. I dont need to think about the big picture, yet...
I live of cheese and ham toasties, i just never get bored of them, they are so god damn tasty, its like a taste explostion of tastyness.
Oh yeah, i'll say this now. My spelling is horrendous, so i'm sorry about that, or as most the the annoying people my age say, "Soz"
Well, i'm both mentally drained and bored, so i am going to cut this off now.
