finish skills part of Duke of Ed (read all 2 entries…)
ok i'm taking the easy way 1 month ago

I’m going to take the easy way and get my piano teacher to sign this off. I was originally doing piano for my skills section, but my plans were foiled when i failed my exam. i thought it would seem awkward to ask my teacher to sign me off after i failed, but now, it doesn’t seem so bad, particularly since it would take me ages to commit to another skill. so this summer holis, i’m gonna get it signed off!



learn to do cryptic crosswords
cracking the code... 1 month ago

i think i’m starting to get the hang of this. things get easier when you realise that each clue actually contains a description of the answer (eg a synonym), as well as the cryptic clue. i’m a fan of the multiple-word ones cause they’re a bit easier to guess. Like “favourable outcome for a large number” = a good deal. And for most of them, you can guess the answer from the synonym rather than the cryptic clue. So how about “sharpen the ends carefully, dear” = honey. so to sharpen = hone, but what about the y? has that got to do with the “ends carefully” part? i guess so…. they’re pretty well thought-out, i reckon.



drink 1 L of water a day for 30 days
starting today! 3 months ago

I usually drink 1×600mL bottle of water at uni. Then I just need to drink 2 mugs of warm water since it’s winter…. that’ll be over 1 L for sure! just gotta remember to do it :)
