60 degress and lovin' it

I spent a great deal of time tossing and turning last night after going to bed. I kept thinking about picking scuba gear and the class I'm going to be taking. I kind of want to get my equipment as soon as possible so I can get used to it and whatnot before having to use it to learn new stuff. I also wish that Roland wasn't so busy with the beginning of his classes so he could take the class with Jason and I and possibly get gear too. I'm a little afraid that if I get gear and he doesn't that it will be less likely for us to go diving together. I like having someone I know so well as a dive buddy and Jason will only be here briefly. That means I'm probably going to have to dive with people who's ability and common sense quotient I don't know. Kind of worrisome. I suppose this is what most other divers have had to deal with already, but I've been lucky.
