I’m officially an ASA instructor. This past week has been hard as fuck. Our first class was last Monday and I show up. We’re doing introductions and the instructor guy feels hella familiar… About half way through the morning, I realize. IT WAS MY INSTRUCTOR FOR ASA 101!!! I actually yelled at him because he was being such a dick face to one of the other students.
The first day was rough… There were 4 of us in the class, two cool guys and one know it all. He just wouldn’t shut up about everything. All day long he was talking talking talking. Early in the morning some topic came up and he was totally wrong. I told him he was wrong, he argued with me. I gave up. That afternoon we had to give presentations and my topic I had picked was actually bout that exact same topic. So I gave my presentation then at the end he said “good presentation but you’re wrong”. I again argued with him. Pulled out my book showing him the right answer and he kept arguing with me. That night, I got an email form him that just said “you’re right”. Asshole.
The instructor was a dick the first day too. Total annoying asshole. I was ready to give up after the first day. The whole week, every day we just had to keep doing the same shit over and over again. Man overboard, tack, jibe, reed, heave too. EVERY DAY, multiple times per day. It was so frustrating. We should be LEARNING HOW TO TEACH. Not just proving that we know how to do this shit.
Anyway, know it all and one other student left on Wednesday so the past few days it’s been just me and this straight guy Luke. I have a hella crush on him. He’s so cute, funny, smart. We just shoot the breeze, laugh and make fun of the instructor. Yesterday we got done early and Luke and I went to the museums together and he was geeking out like crazy. It was so cute.
So onto other topics. I decided to post the boat for sale myself online. I got two people who are going to come see it on the 19th of this month. I am 50/50 on selling it vs keeping it. I’ve now invested so much into the charter business and the ASA instructor courses that I kinda don’t want to sell it. But I also want it gone.
I miss astra so much, I hate the idea of leaving her again for 6 months. At the same time, what am I going to do if I sell the boat and come back.
Also, this lawyer boy I’ve been seeing. Nice guy but def see red flags that are flying hard.
