1st day as a trainee lifeguard

too tired to blog properly, so i'll just give you some bullet points

• got to experience the Maori culture. had to do the hongi (that nose to nose and handshake thingy) and erm, hear a few speeches in Maori. the only words i could pick up were: whanau, kia ora, haere mai, manukau (rofl), wahine
• got to hang out with a whole bunch of Maori people....and they'll be my whanau for the next 3 weeks of training :p
• i am officially a family member of Manukau City Council
• i get free gym access to lloyd elsmore's fitness club! w00000tttt!
• i am probably the weakest swimmer among all 26 of us *dies* everyone else are either competitive swimmers or regular swimmers or are lifeguards already
• i have to get used to waking up at 7am everyday to get to training centre on time

that's about it. will blog properly when i have more energy :S
