Kiting. Of the "Power" variety.

As I mentioned yesterday, today was the date for my first attempt at power kiting. Basically, its like regular kiting, but with a really keen kite that's more like a small parachute. As a novice at all types of kiting, power and regular, I wasn't holding out much hope for having any skill at it, but even I didn't realise actually how bad I would be. Every time I launched it, it would stay in the air for about two seconds, then crash. If it even flew in the first place, that is. The wind, I shall have to blame the wind. Yeah, that's it, there wasn't enough wind.....

Tomorrow is also back to school day after the Easter holidays (or the Easter revision period, as the teachers insisted on calling it). Its kind of weird, thinking this will be my last ever "first day back", as it were. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. It's good, in a way, because it means it's not long till I'm moving on to bigger and better things (hopefully). But its also pretty sad to think its nearly the end of something that's been such a massive part of my life for the past 7 years. And that I'm going to be leaving pretty much everyone I care about, family, friends, everyone, behind in the next couple of months and heading off to university. It's a strange feeling

However, I do know exactly how I'll feel halfway through double history tomorrow morning.

Depressed. And desperate for another holiday.

Peace and love
