I'm Awake.
So alot of things have happened in the past few weeks,some of which are interesting and some of which are mind numbingly dull.So for the sake artistic integrity I decided i would just note down the interesting events,so here I go!
On the 2th and 7th of June I went to Arbon in Switzerland for a sports competition.Starting off by getting an insanely early(well 9am) train to Manchester Airport and then getting lost for 45 minutes trying ot find my terminal,I swear terminal 1 is like the holy grail of terminals or something.
Anyways I am pretty proud of myself that I didn't have some type of panic attack as our flight was delayed for two hours and then once in the air we hit a little turbulence but I kept my cool and just nattered onto Jase(one of the track athletes) about whats was going on with my hands not working(I was exhausted and late taking my meds!) and how I was actually really serene and in love(ick haha!).Jason told me about his awesome job(he works for a law firm thing that hekp out people)and it made me really think that even though I always wanted to be Journalist since I was a wee youngen,a job with a chairty(maybe doing copy writting n stuff)could be so much more fullfilling.
So once we got to Switzerland,I had a day to recover from teh flight.I took my 'recovery day' to shop in the little market town we were in.
My first and only day of competition was pouring down with raqin and for some reason my dystonia likes to play silly buggers when I'm overly cold and my neck was going haywire :S
Oh yeah,did I mention our hotel was an hour and a half bus ride away from the track so I had to be at breakfast for 530AM(which was 4am uk),I swear it almost killed me..not only a few weeks ago was i going to sleep at 530 and now I had to wake up then haha!
So shot was my first event,toi be honest it went crap 'cos I couldn't get my stupid head to look upright so all my shot where flat which ment a short distance!I won that comp though,which was a relife as it was multi-classed(different levels of disabilty compete in the same comp and their scores are worked off a points system)
Come 2pm after I had eaten my lovely lunch of banana sandwhiches,I had Discus..I was really psyched and I got a PB by 16cm and my coach thinks it may be a British Record WIT woo!
After the comp when did the trek back to the hotel and went to a lovely Itallian which was ace,even hough the waiter looked like he was going to pass out when I asked for a brocolli pizza with no mozzarella hah!
On the Sunday me and some team mates got a taxi to Zurich and its such an outstanding city!There was loads of huge teddy bears dressed by designers on the street(it was some contest!)and one dressed in a black flag jacket!Amazing!
OooOooOOoOo I just saw the time and I was ment to be at Ruths house ages ago as we are going to get gently drunk at Middlesbrough Music day live so Yeh here is a post about some of Switzerland and I'll do the rest later!
Farewell
