Once again there is a reasonable gap between today's blog post and the last, and as such I apologise for the delay, So I have been considering trying to update this blog every Sunday before I go rowing. How long this is kept up for I am not sure.
Over the last week a few things have occurred, namely pancake day being a major event with me having pancakes a total of 4 times over the last week and a half. In addition to that I have also attended meetings regarding both my upcoming Cern trip and DofE Gold practice expedition in the lake district. I have also done fairly well in chess club up till now, I am still In first position however since losing to the person in second place I am only 1 point ahead.
Yesterday, I attended my capsize training for rowing at Stantonbury campus pool, It involved swimming the length of the pool half head above the water, half with our fully submerged followed by treading water for two minutes and the swimming back on my back, then I had to throw a safety rope and pack it, and how to get out of a boat when it capsizes, for me it involves hitting the top of the boat three times and then pulling the release cord for my feet as they are big enough to not slip out of the shoes, It also happened to be the first time I have worn my rowing kit even though it was ordered in October because I didn't pick it up till mid January.
In the holidays I watched "The Graduate" a brilliant film about a man who falls for the daughter of the woman he is having an affair with. Then last night after training I watched "Rumour has it" which is the sequel.
Over the last week and a bit, I have been playing my 3DS ambassador games a lot, completing "Super Mario Bros" (SNES), "Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap"(GBA) and "Yoshi's Island Super Mario Advance 3"(GBA) and I am currently playing "Metroid Fusion" I beat the SA-X only to loose to the last boss immediately after thereby meaning I have to try again. Also "Pokémon Black and White 2" were announced late last night and there is a lot of confusion about them, however I personally dislike them as firstly I didn't enjoy white all that much and they are DS games not 3DS games which sucks.
Since asking her out the girl who I asked out and myself haven't spoken much and in the one session where we did sit together during a free period very little was said and I feel that she has been avoiding the topic. A close mutual friend asked her why she said no and apparently it is because she wants to concentrate on her studies, I find to be reasonable and valid excuse, however it still broke my heart and I still feel fairly shy around her. Even though I received some lovely advice from friends, such as Sohumm and Sam, after last post about that "I am a lovely man" and "she is making a huge mistake by rejecting one of the kindest people that they know", etc. Yet sometimes I feel as if I will never get anywhere with women. However, I can but hope.
On a happier note I upgraded the software on my phone for the second time last week and I now run 2.13.401.3 before with speedtest I was getting a download speed of 3.42 Mbps I now get 4.83 compared to my wifi speed of 0.09 Mbps this is brilliant
Until next time
