I can't swim. Never learnt how. But when I was a kid we lived near the beach so I'd end up in the water pretty often, even though the beach near our house faced the open harbour and ended up scattered with all kinds of debris including dead sheep and various shipping crap.
I'd just wade, or paddle. When my folks weren't looking I'd see how far I could go out. I knew about things like rips but that was something adults had to worry about. I was fine. I'd go out, usually until I had to jump with the swell to keep my head above the water. But waves are never a constant size so I'd end up with my mouth and eyes full of sea water, spluttering back on the sand.
Anyway, I'm just bored at Uni working on my assignments. I dunno why I insist on doing 'just enough work'. It's a trap, and the goddamn lecturers and tutors encourage us into it. I dunno if I'm gunna get any sleep at all over the next few nights, fuck it.
