I have realised how much I complain about D of E. I bet I make it sound really awful. Which is not true. If I hated it that much I wouldn't be doing it. I originally wanted to do it because I thought it would look good on my UCAS and stuff. But also because it was an experience, something to do. I guess part of it was that it was there and I could do it and I think I wanted to try it. Like Greek I think. And I don't regret doing it. It's really satisfying when you get to the campsite after having walked 16km. Especially on the practice where it rained all day and made walking horrid and we got back, pitched the tents and just complained (surprise), relaxed and dried off. It felt like one of those winter days where there's a storm raging outside or it's really cold and you just sit inside relaxing feeling grateful that you aren't outside. I also think that if it weren't for D of E I wouldn't know Becky or Rachel as well as I do cos that's really where I met them first. I probably would have known them a bit but almost certainly not as well. It would probably be similar with Pethero, although she's on MSN more and also was in my form. Whatever. Basically, D of E isn't that bad, no matter how much I might complain about it.
Anyway, I arranged to go into town with Emma today. We arranged to meet at 3:20. I got to my bus stop at about 3:15 (knowing that I was going to be late and that I would be realyl lucky if a bus was arriving anytime soon). The next bus left at 3:35. So I resigned myself to walking. Swearing to myself I quick marched, knowing that I would be lucky to get there by quarter to four. Sure enough, I arrived where we were supposed to meet at ten to four. Only, there was a problem. Emma wasn't there. I walked up the road a little, swearing to myself some more, turned around and saw her walking merrily up to me. I could have cried. After appologising repeatedly and explaining that I'd just walked about 2 miles in half an hour in 33 degree heat with no water and an empty stomach, Emma indulged in laughing at my face which at the time, resembled a tomato. Being thirsty and also slightly hungry, we went into MacDonalds and bought fries and fanta orange. And judging by the grin on the face of the guy serving us, he also found the colour of my face amusing. I guess I deserve it for being half an hour late. |
