tennis, life and a few things in between

The final of the owd was administered after reviewing Section 6 by Ralph. Ed was taking notes on Ralph and grading him: I like how Ed runs his business, and SSI, so far.

On test: little old Irene failed because she should have reviewed but didn’t, and scored only 78% out of 50 questions, and SSI requires 80%. I get it. It’s your life on the line, dive or die -:)

We then went over the test. Should have practiced in the pool afterward, but it was too late, we  left early and will practice at the pool at Devil’s Den on Sunday.

P.S. So, the old little Irene studied overnight and went back to take it again the following day – it’s Test B – and passed with 92% – should be 96% because two questions she didn’t read closely … oh well … I embezzled the green pen. Ed went over the 4 mistakes I made – really appreciated it.

… I might have passed the first time, IF I didn’t point out that the grader left one mistake unaccounted, which made it 80%. Oh well … it’s me, old habit is hard to change.

The last day before the final. I switched duel gauge to threesome with a compass 鸟枪换炮, which I think is a practical combo; and got a pair of gloves.

The assistant coach Ralph taught tonight. Ed was the ‘assistant’ tonight.

The pool water was 72º, which is cold if you don’t move a lot, which we didn’t. Ed’s father came out to say hello at the end.

I recorded my classmates’ back into the water skill – all passed -:)
