Leaving Convention and Aquatic & Scuba Club Dive-In Movie

Today was the day I left Convention at Seven Springs, PA. I was no longer a Student Intern and it was time to say good bye to all the amazing professionals I had met these past 3 day. Started off the day at 6:30am and packed up all my belongings. The other student interns and I headed down to breakfast around 7:30am and enjoyed our last meal at the resort. We said our good byes to the people we saw and hoped to stay in-touch with one another. We then checked-out of the hotel and hit the road by 9:00am. Luckily the drive went very smooth and we made it back to Slippery Rock by 11:30am. At 12:30pm I had a Dive-in Movie to attend for the Aquatic & Scuba Club. We turn off all the lights in the pool and we only leave the underwater lights on. The children all seem to have fun and like to swim while watching a movie.We had 30 children come to swim with their guardian! We did a lesson on water safety before playing the movie FROZEN!  Everything went very smooth and I can't wait till we have more next semester. At 3:30pm I went back to my place, unpacked and took a quick nap for about an hour. At 5:00pm I started doing homework and it looks like I'll be doing that the rest of the night...why is everything due at once! I hope tomorrows tests go well :)
