wow, i've been productive for a whole 40 minutes straight. i need a mini mind break. plus i sort of felt like typing and i'm not typing with my reading. i like the song "angels" by robbie williams. obviously i have to be int he proper mood for it, but it's good to read and do work to cuz i dont get real into it, but it's nice to have in teh background. lets see...last posted on thurday and apparently i wasn't in a very good mood. go figure = P
it's tuesday. i had a hmm...weekend. friday night i watched rugby and drank beer at andys. saturday i spent the day working at bagels. bloody whole saturday spent dealing with bagels. grrr... after work i went to a birthday dinner at hope bros for matt (andys ex-flatmate-ish) and then out for a couple drinks with sophie from bagels and then met back up with andy at some drum and bass gig at sub-9. i'm really not a drum and bass (DnB) fan, but it was fun hanging with andy and he really enjoys that stuff, so it was cool. sunday i slept in and then went off to my soccer game. we haven't actually ever practiced as a team, so we're not that great even though we have good players. it's hard to play as a team when you're still learning peoples' names. we were playing a team that's like 2 leagues above us or something, so we got our asses kicked. i can deal with that because we were using it as practice. what i can't deal with is how HORRIBLE i played. yes, you all will say i'm exaggerating, but i swear to fucking god i've never played that awful in my life. dont know what the fuck is going on with that. i did buy some new cleats and they're very comfortable, but i still played like shit. to prove that i'm not exaggerating: score was 10-1. they scored 8 in teh first half and 2 in the second. i only played in the first half. yes, i do want to go run and tear off my head or something because i am a damn good player and that shit shouldnt' be happening with me. i need to actually put in effort at practice and such. GRRRRR@!!!! anyways.
monday i went and played paintball with alex and a bunch of germans. it was really fun!! at the end of the game we did a mexican stand-off, where we stand in two lines facing eachother and just empty our guns. fucking painful man. i got shot 4 times in that and just ran off to hide. got shot twice in the actual games, bringing my grand total up to 6 shots. which means i've got 6 beautiful bruises! some are rather impressive! so much fun. it was fairly muddy and i was creeping around in teh woods sliding around on my butt and sneaking up behind the other teams base. awesome stuff!
today i was sitting in class, trying to participate in a conversation i cared nothing about, when i realized that next week is going to suck.
i have a paper to read by thursday, shouldn't be too bad, but it's got to be done and i have to do a double-entry journal on it. next tuesday i have a manuscript review due. it's not very long, but the paper we've been given to read is pretty good, so it's tough to come up with a valid critique that actually has helpful comments on how to improve it. then on next thursday i have an essay due. i'm also presenting in class that day. luckily i'm gonna write the essay on the same topic i'm presenting, so i only have to research one topic, but its still a lot of work that i haven't really started. i've read the manuscript and i'm almost done with my comments and such, i just need to organize it and type it up. only like 1-2 hours to finish that up. the paper for this thursday isn't too bad, so that should only take an hour or 2. for the essay i have to do a whole lot of research, so i need to get crackin cuz i think that's not gonna be easy.
got another soccer game on sunday. i'd better redeem myself or i could find myself kicked off the first team. that would just fuck me off. bastard!
k, i really should get back to work, but first! some pictures from paintball! yay!
k, damn this picture thing..no pictures cuz i cant upload the damn things
