Hello again racefans!

Two updates in as many days…. you can tell I’m procrastinating, can’t you?

i think I’m finally get bored of *procrastination*.. it’s getting that bad. I’m now deciding to read my textbook as a break from checking my email for the 40th time.
I don’t know why it is that I hate study so much…. but the idea just makes me want to run for cover! I have to keep reminding myself that if I pass this semester, it will be the last time I have to do a full-time semester!

One thing that keeps me going however is the thought that when this is over I will get to spend two weeks on a hot dusty airfield in Leeton. I’m flying the DG-300 again this year, but getting some practice in it will prove to be a little hassle. I have flown perhaps twice in the past 6 months, including my annual check, so hopefully I’ll still be current for when I want to get some practice in! I’ve also had to really schmoozle work a few times because they keep forgetting to give me the time off. They’ve started my full-time contract on Dec 3 , which is also the time I plan to go to competition.

I’m also busy saving all the money together for the competition. The club requires $500 deposit which is still only half the insurance excess should I prang it. Then there’s at least another $1200 for the competition itself, not including the $200 entry fee I’ve already paid. Why is it that I have to choose some of the most expensive hobbies? It’s worth it though… I doubt I’ll have a chance at winning, but I will definately enjoy the break from the city, and spend a few hours cooling off at 10,000′ (it’s actually quite cold up there! Best place to be on a 45 deg. day).

it’s going to be an interesting year this year, especially after I earnt myself a reputation last year. I’m sure I will have fun though!
