World Cup withdrawal symptoms

Jul 13, 2010 23:15

So Spain are the new champions :)

My loyalty to the German team do not allow me to be too happy for them, but I admit that they deserved this victory. This edition of the World Cup has been a fun ride, with hot favourites like Brazil and Argentina getting surprise defeats, and big names like England and Italy being less than stellar. I was hoping that teams like South Korea, South Africa and Japan could go a bit further but they did play well in their matches.

Am I the only one getting World Cup withdrawal symptoms? I almost miss staying up just to watch the matches at 2.30am. The sports channel is still playing reruns of the matches and highlights and that was what I spent the morning doing. Watching match highlights, before switching over to Bones and NCIS. Well, I don't have classes today so I could spend the morning relaxing a little xD

Speaking of classes, the new semester started last week, and I'm still stuck trying to register for subjects and paying for fees. I'm hoping that this semester will have a lighter workload than the last one, which was filled with research papers, super long essays, lack of sleep and very little time spent in fandom. I got a rather pathetic grade in one of my finance papers, and I'm now debating the wisdom of retaking the whole damn thing or just take the final exam, but with my grade capped ;_;

On a happier note, I am now a full fledged One Piece fan. I didn't like the art much at first but manthur  gave a lot of glowing reviews when she recommended it to me, so I started reading and I love it. I rank it much better than Naruto. The only problem is, while both she and Ramody have assured me that it isn't a strawhat who died in the event that sparked big fandom wank that happened quite recently, I've accidentally found out who it is while checking out some art at DA *pulls hair in frustration*

P/S: Spoilers for the big three plus KHR are out and they're all very very interesting.

real life, sports
