Expedition preparation on Friday night ended up taking till 2am, with a few technical issues that required fixing, and having to deal with Hadi messing with things, and Zulfadli pissing Jaslyn off. Slept around 4am and got up at half past 6, managing to launch the expedition slightly ahead of schedule.

Headed home to shower before cycling to NSC for the SailSmart Instructor workshop, only to spend most of the lesson nodding off due to lack of sleep, and realizing that the program is not suitable for me. Rather than being a sailing course with elements of science and conservation awareness, it is an "education through sailing" class with greater emphasis on science, environmental issues and bonding, rather than on technical skills and building confidence.

Feeling dazed despite nearly 10 hours of sleep, I skipped today's workshop, realizing that I will never sign up to instruct for this program, regardless of whether I finish the course, as it just doesn't suit me. So, i've wasted $150, and missed my expedition again, after being convinced by Jaslyn to go for the people I like, and not skip it because of the people I loathe.

I told Jaslyn that i'd be there either after my class or to help them clean up tomorrow, but won't be going after all, since i'll be meeting Gina for lunch. I feel guilty for making an empty promise, but this is the only opportunity before she heads to Athens for ~2 weeks. Here hoping I don't screw up tomorrow.
