Did the third and final assessmessment last night and guess what? Only lost two marks on the whole paper!! :D. That's the first of the 3 NABS that I have not had to resit! No work today, so I am about to pack away the several trees worth of paper that I have gone through since the course began in August. Unfortunately, as this is 5th year level, not uni 50% is still the magic number I need to hit for Tuesday's exam. I'm taking the philosophy that I have failed, so that when the results come out I can't be disappointed. This is just about the most challenging thing I have ever done, cheers again for all the support :) .

Nice one Streps! You go girlfriend :D

Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

:D .

All my notes are now up the loft (until August if I don't make it). The sense of freedom today is immense. ^_^

Strepper...put all that stuff away and grab a couple of pints and do a little partying. You gave it all you had...that's enough. Remember; "All work and no play makes John a very dull boy."
I assume you have the summer off...aint it time for a litte vacation? Does anybody have any plans for a summer vacation? And what are they?

Rob, umfortunately the holidays start late this year, not till july 6th, (roll on)and I also have 2 OU essays to be done before then. No plans for a holiday as yet...perhaps in October when the kids go off with their grandmother. What about everyone else?

I don't "do" holidays, as I don't like travelling.

I am mulling the idea of booking 2-3 weeks off and just driving into various countries though. No planning, just drive into France, and go for it.

Add that to some festivals, and Bob's your transvestite aunty.

I have a trip planned for late August to Isle Royale. It is in the middle of Lake Superior, and is a trip we've wanted to do for a long time.
There are moose, bear, wolf, and lynx roaming the island, and at night one can view the aurora borealis. Really looking forward to this one. Aside from seeing Beth last summer I really haven't been anywhere since 2002.

Both sound Ideal! We see the Northern Lights from time to timer, it's a spectaculasr experience.
Ade very envious of your idea, although if I were you I'd seriously consider doing it by train.You can get a Euro railcard for next to nothing. Once you hit the Gare de L'est in Paris (or whichever one you chose) you're less than three hours by TGV to practically anywhere. A friend and I did a rail trip in France a few years back, Paris to Lyon then Evian on Lake Geneva and it was fabulous - time it right and you could catch Montreux Festival.

The Montreux Jazz Fest has always been on my list of things to do before I die. I kinda doubt I'll ever make it, however. One of my doctors said he went there after gambling his ass off in Lake Geneva. Now I know where those exhorbitant doctor fees end up being spent!
Oh, BTW...since my last post we had to take our dog Denali in to the vet's office with a mouthful of porcupine quills. He sedated her and got them out, thankfully. Not a very pleasant thing to have happen on a Sunday morning in the middle of breakfast.

Eurgh!

Hope she gets better double quick. Can't be nice!

For whatever reason, I've never seen an Aurora. Something I definitely want to see more than once.

It kinda makes a firework display look cheap.

My favourite time of the year is when the red sky comes up at night, and there are a few cirrocumulus or nimbus clouds up there, and the light catches them perfectly to make them pink. It's also usually a bit chilly outside, so you get the feeling of refreshment too.

Awesome stuff

I took a fishing trip one time to the arrowhead of Minnesota...way, way, far north. The place had a wood fired sauna, so after sitting in it and showering, we stepped outside.
It was about 10:30 at night, and the northern lights were out in full force. It looked as if it was curtains in the sky.
We stood at the edge of the dock on the lake, and listened to the loons howl. It was a magical experience...one that I'd like to repeat at Isle Royale.

As for the dog, she has recovered completely, and is now eating and drinking water as if nothing happened. All ready for the next disaster. :)

I like trains...
I would like you on
A long black leash
I would parade you
Down the high street
You've got the attraction
You've got the pulling power
Walk my little doggy
Walk my little sex dwarf
