whoa

WHoops. I didnt realize how long this blog has laid stagnant for.

After 5 consecutive hours of lessons this morning, all i wanted to do was flop onto my nice soft bed and Sleep. but, of course some things are more important than others. like rock climbing:)

I never realized how different and similar artificial rock walls are to the real thing. techniques used are mainly the same, esp when it comes to belaying and top-rope or lead climbing.

what i did with my physical activity group today though was different. instead of going vertically up, many times, we were walking along the cliff, suspended from cables attached to our harnesses and carabiners. more like bouldering i guess.

there are mainly limestone cliffs around here which are great for handholds and stuff like that and the college has equipment and has also brought in some external instructors! the best part abt it is that Nnxt week, there is a long weekend, where we get friday off, and so I'll be going to the Dolomites, a limestone range for 3 glorious days, hopefully!

My thoughts now are quite start-stop and broken, ,probably cos there's so much to say, and so little time. im currently in the study room of my residence, where theres like internet. I was lucky to get a nice and new residence, which although does not have the view of the sea like other residences, does have a separate huge bathroom which only 4 pple share, which is luxurious in comparison to many residences. We have a fully-equipped kitchen, but mainly go to a main school canteen for our meals.

School has been ok with some lessons better than others. For example, what we are covering in math and the sciences now are what i covered in the firs sem of JC, and so thigns are pretty repetitive. not that im complaining though, cos it gives me more time to concentrate on my Italian, which is unfortunately kinda non-existent.

Haha but anyway, got to go now. Take care everyone!
