16 Days Until HBP!
Come, the niceties must be observed... Dumbledore would like you to show manners... bow to death.

Well as a true hispana Estephanie, I saw the World Cup Confederation Cup Finals. And as you prolly guessed by now, the finals vying for 1°place es el clasico match-up of Argentina vs. Brasil! I was so embarassed by the Argentine team. To put in layman's terms, ¿how could they have sucked? Gahh, Es Argentina por el amor de Dios. They left the entire country in shame, including my mum and I, with that deplorable 4-1 defeat. Why is it that during the quarter finals Argentina beat Brasil 3-1 and now this happened? We're talking about the same good players from the 2002 World Cup. There was Teves, Delgado, Coloccini, Lux, Heinze, Figeroa, etc. Then there's the fact that we have a Brasilero living with us. He wasn't too obnoxious about it but we all tried to be a good sport. It's a perilous thing for Brazilians and Argentines to be under the same household while a match is going on. Curse that Ronaldinho and his two goals. And if you don't know that I'm talking about football at this point, then you're obviously not Latino. As the Confederation people would place the 2nd place medals on the Argentines, they would take them off in all their justified anger. And guess what my mum and I did? We played samba on the stereotype. I love that music. I know, qué tracionera! So now my iTunes have been appeased with my newest musical acquisitions. É O Tchan's Na Cabeça E Na Cintura (From Portuguese to English, the album name would be In the Head and In the Waist). Also got a Cd from Chiclete Com Banana.
I must say that the match for 3rd place was intense. It was México vs. Germany. Towards the end of the first half, both teams scored three goals in three minutes. Then at the end of the second half, they ended tied 3-3. The German goal makers were Podolski, Schweinsteiger (was he ever hot!), and Schneider. One of the Mexican goal makers was Borgetti. What a sell-out! He's an Argentine playing for the Mexican team! I can't believe how many of the German players still stayed on the team since they aren't among the youngest players. Kahn is still in! A fabulous goalie he is! I got to see Asamoah play again. Oh and they had this new German player called Kuranyi who was had a Hungarian grandparent, a Panama-born mother, and a Brazilian-born father, yet somehow he's still German. In the end, during minute seven of the first overtime Germany scored their fourth goal and they won a bunch Euros to go along with it. Dude, Brasil won like 2 million 275 thousand Euros.
As I was looking at my l'ville planner whose pages are partially torn due to the fury from the academic stress I encountered, I got motivated to finish summarizing the month of May. BUT LJ ate away this section of my entry! Like on the Six Flags Weekend I had all of this for homework:
Two pages of Japanese
Jap Speech
Algebra 2 Chp 7 Review
4 page worksheet
Study for Alg2 test
Science research
Outline for essay
English 20 pages of Huck Finn
Study Grammar Test
English essay rewrite
Context research
As for my roommate dilemma, I chose Kendra Sweet, the Nova Scotian girl since I did not want to get stuck with a blond, bloody polo-wearing American brat. Sydney will remain a day student so Pamela has asked for a newbie even though her uniqueness will not mesh well with everyone. She even bugs Charlotte a bit too much sometimes. I'll be covering the screw your roommate and awards ceremony in the next lj installment.
How Many Christians Does It Take To Switch A Lightbulb?
Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.
Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.
Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad.
Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks and one to talk about how much better the old one was.
Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church-wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
Amish: What's a light bulb?
(I can totally vouch for the Unitarian response).
