soccer fever
Soccer feverI never really got into soccer until a few years ago when my brother started liking soccer. That's when the WHOLE family got into soccer. Of course my Pa used to love it as well, he was a good athlete in his younger years (you should see his cabinet of trophies). But it wasn’t till my brother got into it that we felt the force of it.
Last night I switched my tv on to catch the last 15mins of the Australia v Japan game. As I had an exam the next morning & it was already past midnight, I decided to switch the tv off & go to bed. Japan was in the lead 1-0 anyway & they’d probably take it. How wrong was I…and probably the rest of the world (sorry Socceroos). Just as I was going to press the “off” button on the remote, Australia scored a goal. In fact, within the space of 8 minutes (that’s also how long it took me to turn my computer off & run to Michy’s room screaming), they scored 3 goals. It was UNBELIEVABLE. Truly amazing. I reckon it was a fluke though. But what the heck, they won anyway. It’s not like it hasn’t been done before (from what I remember my brother saying, I think Liverpool has scored 3 goals in 10 minutes in 2 matches before – then again I may have remembered wrongly so don’t take my word for it), it’s just because it’s Australia v Japan which made it so unbelievable. Anyway I can’t believe people are still watching the games when exams are on. I hear occasional yelling from the guys around the hostel in the middle of the night – which means a team scored of course. But what am I saying, I watch it as well. The only game I’ve actually managed to sit through was the England one (cuz Gerrard was playing hurhur). The rest are either too late at night (who the heck is gonna watch tv at 4:20am – but I may be surprised) or too boring (or the players are ugly).
The exam today was alrite I guess. It was friggin early in the morning though. But it still surprised me to see one of my classmates turn up in her pyjammies. I felt like I could have done more if I had a bit more time & if I had bothered to clarify some doubts with my friends earlier – but cross-fingers & toes again. I’ll be eternally grateful if I get through this sem without a hitch. PLEASE let us all get through this sem without a hitch.
It’s not even next sem yet but I’m already planning for it. Got a shitty timetable – thought I kindda managed to get 2 days off again (I only have 1.5 hrs of lecture on Thurs – so crap since there’s only 1 choice of lectures available). Then I‘ve got to go for morning placements every Friday for the whole of August (what did I get myself into?!). If I thought this sem was bad, next sem is triple the times worse, purely because I have 3 units that are traditionally known as the toughest units in the whole law faulty & I’m taking them all at the same time. I must be a very brave soul. I couldn’t help it since they are all core units & the rest of the electives clash with my timetable at present. *argh* so annoying.
My mom keeps making me feel guilty. Everytime I call/msg her, she will ask me whether I’m sure that I REALLY dun wanna go back & that she misses me. As if I dun feel guilty enough already. I think she thinks I’m gonna spring a surprise on her/something. Sorry folks, no surprises this time I can guarantee that. We’re planning to go to Canada at the end of the year, then US for awhile to visit my cousin & her family – she has 4 gorgeous Eurasian kids – my 3 nephews & a niece! I was hoping to go to Switzerland & Paris though, which was what we talked about at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately my aunt said that December is not the time to go to Switzerland as it’s too cold and snowy, so you can’t really appreciate much of their gorgeous scenery. Switzerland and Taiwan are the only places I want to go and haven’t been yet. Ok I’m going to study for my next paper. I was in a weird mood just now & wanted to be alone so I left the girls to come up and study alone. Actually maybe I’ll take the night off since I still have some time to study for it anyway. Goodnight everybody and good luck!!!
