Well hello there, it's been quite a while since I posted (mainly cos my holidays were BORING!) but I guess it goes against sense that I don't post something for the new year, so here I am!
Well i guess I'll first look back at last year. 2008 went astonishingly quick, as I expected. Not the most exciting year of my life I have to say, not many highlights, except maybe going paint balling in the summer and...and... well not much else lol. Actually, It was probably one of the most stressful years, what with college and starting work again and applying for universities, it's been tough! And, I don't think that this year will be much different, in fact, I think it may be the most stressful year of my life, for a long time to come (so I've heard). You see, I still have all the exams for A2 coming up (some actually in a few days time! =S), and then there's the stressful business of choosing a university, accommodation etc, and sorting out finances for all that, which is not going to be easy, specially with all the doom and gloom of the economy. And even that isn't certain, as I don't know whether I'll be accepted into medicine this year or not! So generally, not a great outlook.
However, there is something I have to look forward to. I have just ordered a new Airsoft sniper rifle, and it will be here in the next few days!! =D I am so excited about this. I have been wanting to get my hands on an airsoft rifle for a very long time lol. Oh, now some of you may be wondering what airsoft is. Well, do you remember those toy guns you bought when you were little and they used to fire those little yellow pellets, well, that's what you call an airsoft gun. But, the one I've ordered, isn't a cheap little thing, it's deadly accurate and can reach up to a 60m range! Plus is comes with a sniper scope, being a sniper rifle of course. I shall post some pictures of it as soon as it arrives! There's only one problem with it, because it is a replica of a real firearm, I've had to order it in a spiffing lime green colour! That's because of the new laws passed by the government in 2007 that state:
Any realistic imitation firearm (RIF) must be at least 50% brightly coloured, unless you are a member of the UKARA association, which you have to be over 18 to apply for, and be a regular player of airsoft at UKARA registered sites (much like paintball).
That kinda sucks, but I don't really care to be honest, I'll just get it coloured black when I become a member of UKARA in a few months when I turn 18 =D.
Apart from that though, I haven't got much to look forward to this year. Hopefully I'll survive some how and end up in a great university doing Dentistry.
Well, I guess I better be off, finally going back to college tomorrow morning, and I'm looking forward to it, I've had enough time at home, need some fresh air. But right now, I need sleep lol.
Farewell to you all and I hope you have a very happy new year!
Taha =D
