So the parentals just came up to lecture me.  Apparently they were thinking of kicking me out, but they've changed their minds because they love me.  (Yes, it's a logical argument...)  They're feeling hurt and used because I don't spend enough time with them.  Well, I reckon if they want me to spend more time with them they should not constantly ( Read more... )

 Just checked my exam timetable and realised that I have been planning in reverse order.  Philosophy is not until Monday, and Italian is this Friday.  I thought that it was the other way around, and was planning to finish revising for Italian on the weekend.  I'm teaching tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning, so I won't have a chance to study then ( Read more... )

Also, I'm getting an ultrasound done on my hand on Tuesday. I smooshed a finger in a keyboard stand over a month ago and it's still painful, so the doctor wants an ultrasound of that to see what's going on. He made it the whole hand instead of just one finger because my stiffness and achiness, particularly in my knuckles, is getting steadily ( Read more... )

So it turns out that having a fight with my mum is good for my study habits in a bad way. "Huh?" you say? Well I was too anxious to leave the flat this morning, and too depressed to get off the couch, so the plan I had to finish my essay (due tomorrow) before midday went down the drain. I couldn't even work on it at home since I couldn't think ( Read more... )

 ¸zAXXC  (Zach just typed that before I could begin my post and I thought I'd leave it there because it's so awesome that he typed his own name ( Read more... )

Mum and I took Cooper and Trista for a walk this morning, as we have been every morning this week.   We walk through two parks in a big loop behind our block.  When we got to the first park this morning there was a man with two dogs (both Staffies) with whom our dogs are quite familiar.  They've met in that park and played together a lot over the ( Read more... )

We received an invitation to my Grandma's 70th birthday today from my dad's big sister Helen. She has written that we are "surprise guests". Without getting too far into the politics of my extended family, suffice to say that she is not my favourite aunt. She has not phoned my dad, let alone the rest of us, in over 20 years. Dad still makes an ( Read more... )

Fucking wankers rejected my medical, stating that my depression/anxiety only recently became stable. Fuck them. What the fuck do they know. I read my medical report so I know my psych made it clear that my anxiety wasn't interferring with my flying and in fact the flying was making it better. And my GP commented that she was more than happy for ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted.  Here's point form to catch you up on the goings-on in my life:

•  Got to do emergency circuits last week, which means flapless landings (to simulate electrics failing) and glide approaches (to simulate landing if the engine fails) - I've done that stuff before, but not for a long time so it was fun to do ( Read more... )

Wisdom tooth number three is currently in the process of breaking through my gum.  It hurts to eat, but I don't want to get them out for two reasons:

1. They're mine.
2. I'm shit scared.

On a side note, ( Read more... )
