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.

Changi Airbase is fantastic. I've been to 112, 121 and 145 SQN so far and everyone's been so hospitable. Learnt more about the KC135 and the Fokker50 planes, and got re-acquainted with the F16s again. AARGHHH everyone in CAB is just sosososososo nice and I really don't want my attachment to end! Sniffle.

Anyway, still no (confirmed) news about the scholarship. The general note is that the 4 of us at the SMS board did very well.. but I don't dare to revel in euphoria before the final result is out. For now I'm still taking it as I majorly screwed up, so I'll be expecting the worst. Anyway, Edinburgh accepted my application, so I guess even if LSE doesn't reply me and I DO get the scholarship, I still have somewhere to go. Everything depends on the damn scholarship nowwww. Without confirmation I'm practically in limbo.

FOUR! But my career might not allow that to happen. Sigh.
