AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Monday, May 18, 2009


The foot trap cat trapped foot
Yesterday night, my watch of four years broke. Not a good sign you would think.
And last night we had air con. So? So when I was closing the door, I stepped on the cat trap. (The cat trap is this spiky thing that keeps the cats out 'cause when they step on them they yowl and don't dare to come back. Hopefully.) And there was this raw skin patch and I had to have two plasters on it so that it wouldn't hurt during today's 2.4 km run.
Yes, I know, of all days to step on the cat trap this had to be it. But guess what? I managed to run 16.08 minutes for napfa 2.4 which is pretty much my best timing ever. And that means that I have a gold for napfa.
Other good news? I passed my high explosives despite the failure in the first common test. If the weighting is equal, that is. If not I'm done for.
However Geog was kind of a letdown. 73.8% which is an A2 which means mom won't be happy and neither will dad for that matter. But never mind.
I have a clinometer to construct and I still haven't done it. But it's not due tomorrow...right?
