London & Middlesex Rifle Association Match
Posted May 6, 2002
What can I say? We won. That was my first match in the first Eight, and I thought I did pretty badly: 31 at 200m, 25 
at 300m... oh well, we've got another match next week.

Gliding & Shooting
Posted Apr 26, 2002
Over Easter - yes, I know that was a while ago - I went on a Air Cadet Gliding Scholarship course at Upavon (on Salisbury Plain).
The accomodation was awful - it was a portacabin - and the food was nearly as bad - all greasy - but the flying was great fun, on the days when the weather wasn't too awful.
So, I'm now able to fly a Viking glider. I can launch, handle a launch failure, fly a circuit, and land properly. Shame I didn't manage to go solo, really. 
Anyway, I've been awarded my Blue Wings.
The shooting seasons started, and our first competition is tomorrow. I didn't manage to make the First Eight this time, but next time... you never know.

Mock results... and coursework...
Posted Mar 5, 2002
So, my mock results are back, and they're not as good as I hoped:
Physics A* 
Chemistry A*
History A* 
Latin A* 
German A
Music A
English Lit. A
English Lang. B
Anyway, now I'm frantically trying to finish my music coursework... and it's a pain, but not as bad as the English. I mean, who cares about the clergy in the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales?

Ah yes, study leave...
Posted Feb 7, 2002
Although the exams are inconvenient, they're worth it for the study leave...
It means I have enough time to check h2g2 at least five times a day, and finally actually take part in conversations and things... it's much better.
Latin Language was /easy/...
...but I have 4 (four, vier, quatre, &c) exams tomorrow and that's NOT going to be fun...
Oh dear, I'm getting depressed again. Better browse h2g2 some more.
