when time and confusion collide

the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THONG!!!

Anyways, new template! Yeah, really in the festive, Christmassy mood now, hence the red and green. Yes, made from scratch in Adobe. Can't believe it's December already. Just a few more days before I'm officially 17. Yayayayayayay. Sigh, which means I have less than a month to complete all my holiday homework. This holiday just flew past. I stare at the calender and go "Where have all the days gone???"

I'm looking forward to rowing a K2 in the Long Distance race on the 12th with Jasmin. First time I'm rowing with her, and we're gonna make it a good race. Jasmin's got great stamina, and I'm gonna pile on the pressure on myself by saying that I don't just want to make it a GOOD race, I want to DO WELL. I've never been big on my strength endurance, but my cardio's fine, and my advantage is my strength-to-weight ratio, and I'm gonna exploit that. I don't exactly have any race strategy, just gonna go out there and whack from start to finish, hope for the best, and come out stronger after the event :)
