twenty years it's breaking you down
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.

Circuits training today was okay. Not as horrifying as Yong made it sound. There were so many junior girls today, thanks to Joycelin :) I wonder how many of them will actually stay on in the team. Especially someone, whose name I shall not mention. If she COMPLAINS in front of me again, I really think I'm gonna blow my top. The bottom line is, if you don't want to push yourself, if you think that there's a LIMIT to what you can take, then the team isn't for you. If you want to be a princess, NJCanoeing just isn't the right cca for you. There will be zero guniang-ness in the team, and I have absolutely zilch tolerance for people who have the nerve to ask me if they can stop running, or if I can slow down the pace. If you're not gonna do the circuits continuously, and keep giving up on yourself, there's no point. She got a taste of my temper today, and if she's not careful, during ball games she will get whacked.

Peishan says we can't be too soft on the juniors, and I agree. Sure, there will be some allowances, like I don't expect them to be able to keep up all the time, but at least show me that you're trying and that you have the right mentality? All talk, no action - that's how I view her. I hope I can change that mindset soon.
