Certified to Save Lives

As many of you know, I became a Certified Life Guard in May of 2005. It's a job and a title I take very seriously. This summer it allowed me to spend every single day patrolling both the slew and the pool almost every class period. You might be thinking "Julie, wasn't that distracting for the kuks for you to always be in a swimsuit???" And the answer is yes... yes it was, but kids' lives were at stake and that's what mattered. But don't worry, I made sure to cover up at co-ed freeswim and parties with my very attractive plastic shorts (which Katherine Ambrose admires so much) and/or my Israel track top. I always topped off the ensemble with the very stylish and practical Life Guard hat and floating device... both essential accessories. And don't forget the protective eyewear. I normally wore a mom-sized pair of sunglasses from the lost & found or if none could be found, I would just slip on a pair of tinted swimming goggles. Goodtimes. I was pretty much a major stumbling block to any kuks near the pool deck. Those poor guys!
WALK PLEASE!!!
Below are some pictures taken of me during a model/life guard/pool CO photo shoot during third term.

Above, I am pulling in the blob to test the pressure before the kiddos "blobbed on!"

I was always serious when wearing the hat. I wasn't about to break character for the camera... plus I am naturally photogenic in most candid situations.

Here I am recording the blog pressure with the accurate surrounding information.

Below I am putting the shallow-end rope out and taking down a closed sign. This job included many tedious and pertinent responsibilities!

I always knew you were funny, but I always thought it was in a "oops, that was funny" kinda way. I was wrong...this stuff is genuinely "I have some premeditated wit" funny.

Proud to call you my sister. I'm enjoying the blog. Will try to read it more often.
