My body is filled with aches.  The IPPT must have taken much more from my body than I had expected. Okay, I got a silver. I can't ask for more, since I wasn't in the least prepared for IPPT anyway. I know I'm weak. I could never beat 9.45 min, given my constant procrastination and other priorities in life.
 
I have been hearing rumours of a raise in NS allowance. The maximum I last heard was an additional 150. If it's gonna happen, I pray that it does soon.
