ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 20th January 2000 
Hey Ho visitors

Hello Everyone who wants to know about me, and those who clicked by mistake.




Just a quick bit to add before the rest of the waffle, I'm an Archer, ie I use a bow and arrows to try and hit a target. I'm the Ex-President of Bradford University's Club.


You can to see your Conversations.

This is a great link to a quick reference to h2g2 pages. All Newcomers should have a look if they have a problem SallyM's useful links page

My page is continually under reconstruction so I can pretend I'm in Lanzarotte and not pay tax.

My name is Sally and I live in Northwich, Cheshire.


For two years I was doing a Ophthalmic Dispensing with Management course. smiley Incase your wondering, everyone else does, ophthalmic dispensing is like being an optican, but you concentrate on frames and lenses rather than looking at eyes and testing them. bigeyes

I am now in my pre-registration year training to be an optometrist after 3 years on Optometry at Bradford University. Oh well here goes the future!!

Schools

I previously went to Winnington Park Primary School, Hartford High and Sir John Deanes College.

Winnington Park is a school which looks like a spaceship and sounds like an upside down metal bucket when it rains. I left in 1992(?) and was pretty sad to leave. I had a great time and went on loads of trips to youth hostels which are great fun when you're 9 and away from your parents.

Hartford is basically like any other high school, some parts I loved some parts I hated, but now I do look back on high school with good memories. I wouldn't want to go back it's part of my life thats over.

I absolutely hated Sir John Deanes - It was just like school only with frees. I had grown out of that by that time. I also got very bored by the end, of subjects I didn't like and 10 exam, exam periods. They do say that each 3 hour exam is as mentally and physically exhausting as a 3 hour workout and it takes the body about 2 weeks to totally recover. I don't know where I got that snippit of information from so don't ask.

That's my excuse for messing up my A-levels (it was only the last set that let me down - honest winkeye

Well thank god I left - I could have stayed to re-take!!!.

More will probably arrive later to keep looking to find out

Email me if you want, but I might take a while to answer in the holidays. Please don't be a psycho or send me spam 'cause I'll block you.

Wow, i should really write more here.

Well i'm not an ACE anymore, and my page is looking really empty. But with Ian, Archery, Optometry (probably in that order too smiley ), I haven't got the time like I used to, to meet'n'greet people. Hopefully when this year is over I can come back and enjoy this site as much as I used to.

Went to the British University's Sports Association Outdoor Archery Tournament yestereday. Did a lot better than I thought i'd do as I've not been shooting outdoors much recently.
I got 490 on a Windsor round (3 dozen at 60/50/40 yrds). It is out of 972 if you wanted to know. I'll have to check my score but I could be part of the way towards my 3rd Class Bowman badge, you never know.
Well I'm off in an hour so I'd better get sorted. See you in September.

Have Fun

What I'm doing now
May 24, 2001

Not right this second - as I'm writing this.

I'm about to go back to Bradford to go shooting. Then tomorrow I'm off with my boyfriend's family to go and see him in the Isle of Wight. I've not seen him for 3 months so I'm a bit excited.

Then I'm home for three weeks to take my final practicals (£470!!!!!), at which point if I pass I'll be a qualified Dispensing Optician - but I can't say that as I won't have done my pre-reg year.

After that I'm off to the Isle of Wight again for the summer, I'll be working in Specsavers and sunbathing. This means that I don't know whether I'll be on the site much - unless I find an internet cafe or the library.

Don't worry though I'll be back at some point.
