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.

Lyrics by: The Fray
sábado, febrero 11, 2006
You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And everytime tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

Someday you will be loved - Death Cab for Cutie

Okayyy, like whaat Chunhow said - FIELD CAMP IS OVER! Seriously, now that I've made it past that, it feels like I can conquer everything! Well, it was okay, apart from the fact that my forehead is a sandfly bite plantation. I woke up with my forehead swollen and the instructors said I looked like a luohan. Lta Peh actually asked me for lucky numbers. Sheesh. Now my limbs are really splotchy and gross. Oh, and I didn't bathe for four days. Wonderful. Haha. It wasn't that bad. In fact it was quite exciting. There was even a simulation of an artillery bombing at 3am in the morning where we had to prone in our bashas and yell "ARTI ARTI!!!!"

Yeah had another IPPT run down and this time I began to actually see signs of the old me again. Got full points for everything, and my run was actually a sub-12.. so erm that was kinda shocking. PLUS, I jumped a 210 for standing broad jump, and did 35 chinups, did a sub-11 shuttle run and over 50 situps. Yes such figures amaze me. Shades of my past are finally emerging again, but I have to say that I'm not at my best yet! Still can push. So for those who're worrying about me being in there, I'm fine and dandy and really really enjoying myself.

With regards to the looming results day, I'm trying hard not to think about it. Imagine if I don't do well enough for the scholarship. I'd hate to leave the army. I've grown very very attached.. seriously. I can't imagine myself not commissioning after everything I've been through.. really. Sigh. I do want to sign on. Really. Just hope that.. everything goes well. Hope.
