woah!

ok its been over a month since my last blog update! thats not good!!!

lets see, at the end of last term we (well most of us) finished our 8mtr round bilge hull drawings in the drawing room. this term we started our lofting of the 2.5 mtr chined dingheys, im glad to say that after 3 days of solid work ive finished! i did have to redraw most of the grid lines cause they were extremely light (not visible in some places), and some of my hull lines are also just visible (mental note: use a darker pencil, not a 4H).

today and tomorrow our class is doing a first aid course, fortunately i did one 3 weeks ago for gymnastics coaching, so i dont have to do it again.

im taking today off (thursday) and just catching up on blogging and wikis, however i dont seem to beable to load wikispaces (for sum weird reason).

tomorrow im gonna start the prepareation for our small craft build. john and i are gonna help matt cut stringers for the hull frames..

i had to go in to unitec on monday to get the information from my drawing needed to calculate CLR, underwater volume, saltwater displacement, lateral area...

i didnt manage to finish all of it at uni cause i had gym in the afternoon, but luckily i had all the info i needed to i just finished at home on tues. i didnt do the calculations perfectally cause i started them in mm (millimerters) and when i converted them to m (meters) i didnt quite do it correctally so my numbers were 10 times bigger then they shoud have been. it wasnt too hard to fix the problem once we found it tho..

peter hasnt turned up since mid semester break, he was really struggling with the drawing. it appears hes not comming back at all!!! so now we only have 12 boys in our class!!! wow thats very few.!

brett has been complaining about the boys who dont turn up for his theory lessons. fair enuf! they are really gonna fall behind! and i dont want to thing about what will happen when we start the small craft build cause we are supposed to work in teams!!! and if they dont turn up reliably for class everyone is gonna fall behind. i just hope i get a reliable team!

ok im gonna try catch up on the wiki now! hopefully it will load, otherwise i might take a break and play sum dota with my brother! yay (or maybe liero or operation space hogs, but we will only beable to do that if the computer starts up TT)

i think this is enuf blogging to catch up for the few weeks that ive done none! but i really need to do it on a regular basis so i dont miss out info, plus it will be a lot easier when its fresh in my mind!
