Ive been pondering about whether going to Uni is right. Theres enough problems and enough doubts to make me do what im going to do. Thats to play the safe bet, and defer till next year.
Basically that means come september 2005, I should know whether or not i want to go to Uni. By that time there should be no doubt in my mind as to what im going to do with my life. Ive already said this year has been a waste of time. I didnt concentrate and this year wont be any easier (same things over again).
On additional note, i spoke to my sister today.
"Hello", "yes", "dont know", "see you" were the only things she said like, but she sounds in good health and happy enough, although i reckon she was a little tired/nervous. Anyway shes happy so im happy, and she didnt burst into tears so im happier.
On a more additional note, Im looking into both Kyudo and Kendo so if anyone has any good info or site suggestions let me know.
Anyway i take up far to much of your life go, run along.

Cheers jack.
The supplier though is european. Unfortunately the only supplier in the UK ive been able to find is nine-circles, who do some fantastic stuff. Problem being a full suit of armour is about 300 quid, the hakama and top bit (name i cant remember) is another forty, plus the two swords (another forty). Plus when i get upto the point of wearing armour (i start with one sword, i buy my practice sword when i get my armour) i have to join the British Kendo Association (another 30 or so quid).
Luckily to start i can hire nearly everything for a couple of quid. Its only when i get higher that the bank starts to shake a bit.
Oh and i think ive found a Kyudo (Japanesse archery) club in Bury. Second biggest in the whole of the UK dont you know! has a whopping 11 members..

Kyudo looks great though. No messing about with poncy carbonworkygubbins. Just a big bow!
I can get hold of a practice sword for about 15squid, which isnt too bad
