anonymoose_au11:38pm: And now I need to lie in it! ;O)
Before I do though, just a quick update for today's activities, first up was archery, I didn't realise that it was an actual official shoot (usually Monday's are just practice days so you just show up whenever you can), so I ended up being a bit late. Also I forgot to actual sign up for a distance, so when I got there, there was only two choices - 20 metres - which is a bit too easy or 50 metres - which is too far - I was hoping for 40 though. As it turned out though a couple of guys were practicing on 30 metres so I decided to do that.
While I was there though, I suddenly wondered what distance the competition (coming up in two weeks) that I signed up for the other day would be. This was something I should have looked at before signing up because I saw to my horror that it's 60 metres! I've never managed to shoot further than 40 metres before and when I tried to shoot the 50 metres after finishing my practice, I couldn't make it :O( I don't think my bow is strong enough. Now you can get new limbs that add strength (aka poundage), but that will change all sorts of things like sight settings and will of course make pulling back the bow harder so I don't think I'd be able to figure it out in two weeks.
On the plus side I can pull out of the competition and get my money back...it's a bit embarrassing though, I guess I can just not admit I'm withdrawing because I didn't read the instructions, LOL.
I also dropped of my parent's red car and met up with my friend - although we didn't go swimming, instead we went to a little noodle place for dinner. They also served some very interesting chips, yummy!
And now, it's 4 minutes til midnight and I want to get to work on time if not earlier to help out my colleague in case the return chute at the library is full after the long weekend.
Oh! And on a final note, Easter chocolate is now on sale...I wonder how long they'll last I mean they're super cheap! I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
And now I saw goodnight!
