Fill in your University applications, and then read.

I could probably find one of those -- now I just need a big ol' rock.

There are more than 350 different species of shark, and only 3-4 species have ever been reported as attacking humans. 95% of shark attacks are at surfers or people walking in less than one meter of water and accidentally step on a shark! People aren't shark food. Turtles, seals, and fish are shark food. From below, a surfer paddling out looks just like a turtle to a shark so they take a bite. Ugh! Not a turtle! and spit out the board and part of the surfer. Not good for either the board or surfer...
So the key is, don't look like shark food. Look like a diver. Blow bubbles. Neither turtles nor seals blow bubbles.

Most divers consider themselves lucky to get to see a shark. Usually, they leave the area when divers arrive and all we get to see are their tails as they disappear. It's a real treat to be able to just hang out in the water column and watch them.

- packing my bag for a trip
- waiting for tea to be made
- thinking about whether to bring my Kindle along (and I think I won't because I'm afraid it'll get busted, but still... 5 days without it are pain)

My head doesn't explode that quick (except when my father's being stubborn).

I had already decided to go with the date of first publication; I've already seen several series that aren't published as ebooks in the right order. Luckily Calibre makes it easy, although I still check because some books haven't got a listing with the original date.
