I've been gliding for a while now but yesterday was particularly fun.


It started as a routine excersice. Take off, practise getting out of a few stalls, do the circuit and then practise using the brakes to land.

At around 1000 feet, I practised how to recover from a half-spin. First the instructor showed me and then I got to try. He got the glider into a stall and when we entered the spin, I quickly recovered. How do I describe the way I felt at the time? Well,...

Had my 19th birthday yesterday and it was fun

It's so nice to go back from uni and meet up with my family and friends for a day centered around me! The only problem was that I am on a course of anti-biotics and therefore can't drink .

Anyways, I with everyone else with birthdays coming up a good time.

It's been a few weeks since I've started uni and I feel like I'm finally finding some equilibrium in my life.

So far I have the following lectures:

-Calculus: It's ok but rather basic. So far we are just reviewing what we learned many many years ago which is rather tedious but It is calculus after all so I'm sure it'll pick up and eventually get complicated enough to melt your brain.

-Real analysis: Well it's what the name says. It sounds like a down to earth...

-Started uni and it's the shizzle!!
-Met lot's of new people from everywhere around the globe
-Sharing a nice floor with 14 other ppl(ppl are also nice)
-Joined a whole bunch of societies including gliding, scuba diving, heavy metal and philosophy
-Got involved in a car crash(I wasn't driving). No one got hurt(Except the car)

My brother and I went to virtual game the other day which is the British equivalent to a less fancy EBgames. It's awesome because they usually trade really old stuff and import games from America.
