So I went sailing today. Or tried to. The intention was to take Dart 18 (an 18 foot catamaran with 16 square metre's of sail) out single handed. And I did. I was sailing in my clubs standard races which they hold every weekend. Except on the first outing there was a slight lack of something technically known as wind. After drifting backwards for half an hour a light breeze sprang up with enough strengh for me to cross the start line for forms sake, but not enough for me to be able to turn the bo
It seems you can't turn on the TV or Radio, or open a newspaper or read a newsite without seeing the recession, war or some other sad event. Discussion forums are often filled with sulky comments and stories just as depressing. One only has to read the BBC's "have your say page" to realise that a great many people can't see beyond their own foolishness and insist on depression. And yes the world can be, and in many ways is. Joblessness, war, starvation, we all know these exist.
But there is so
last night I finished my History coursework. All 3752 words of it. Unfortunately the exam board has a strict word limit of 3000 words (for comparison, this entry is 297 words). Meaning my essay was almost exactly 25% too long. Whilst many people would be amazed that someone could write to much in an essay, when the question is
To what extent was Britain’s involvement in war the key factor in explaining both the expansion and contraction of its Empire in the period of 1870 to 1980?

Today I stood at the window of my Maths classroom. I stared out at the rain, across the sodden trees and fields to the grey bulk of the sea.
You know that sounds like it could really be a good stroy, but I can't think of what it is. Particuly as the next line would read, "I then turned round and looked at the question sheet and began to think the immortal phrase, "How the **** do you work that out?"
Anyone have any idea's?
I'll explain that title a bit.
I've been driving for a few months now. I'm able to drive my instructors Citroen C3 fairly well, and feeling confident went out for a drive with my dad in his Skoda Octavia, with its 1.9l TDI. Lets just say it didn't go to well. I must have stalled the stupid thing 10 times in the three miles. I spent most of the time struggling to come to terms with the way it accelerated harder without the accelerator pedal down than the C3 does with a fair amount of pressure
A freind told me that she doesn't care what happens in her life, she just wants to end up living in an East end ***hole having fun. Started me wondering about why that never occured to me. I mean, planning to go to uni, get a good education etc etc. And why? Well, 4 uni's have offered me places so far so obviously they see something in me. Then I thought about how a huge number of people who are born into a council estate, get an awful education, live in a council house and work on a till for th
I always feel slightly depressed at this time.
I compare what I meant to do (History homework, clean out desk draw, tidy room, Physics coursework) to what I have actually acheived (Captured 3 cities in Rome total war, got confused by physics coursework, moved some of the mess around on my bedroom floor.)
So life is still dull.
