"I was just thinking…you know there's not a single person in those stands who knows who we are? And most people don't even think we belong here. But we are here. And we're about to go out there, and play the best team in the world. No one expects anything from us in this game. Not a thing. But I think deep down, we all know we're worth just a little bit more than that. Not many people will ever get the chance that we're getting today. So let's just make sure of one thing. That after 90 minutes, they know who we are."
I wish I lived in a city that has a MLS team. They have really good internship opportunites and I refuse to move for an internship that offers no pay. I would absolutely LOVE to work in soccer but I don't really know where to start or what to do. I'm thinking about applying to volunteer at the World Cup next year its a scary but exciting thought. I really should just go for it. I wonder if I will actually be brave enough to do it.
I hate having to rely on other people I just got a call yesterday from the grad program I applied to and they told me my application isn't complete because I am missing one recommendation, my old boss is infuriating, this is important! I should have just choosen 3 professors instead of an old manager and 2 professors!
Wow I am so irritated right now!!! Irritated isn't the right word its more like livid, I'm talking dramatic hand shaking! I didnt think I could get this upset about a soccer player. I'm reading comments about Eto'o right now and I'm am getting so heated. Its fine if he is not your most favorite player, I get that, but to say he isn't a good striker is so beyond my comprehension right now.
I deal in facts and figures, the guy is Barca 4th highest goal scorer, the one person on the list still playing but he can't score?!!! There are not many players better than him. Than they are trying to downplay what he has done for the team by saying he only scored those goals because of the other players, yes he has a good midfield behind him and they contribute to his success that is what a team does! He didnt have that stacked midfield when he was scoring all those goals for Mallorca or with Cameroon, yet he did it!
He can't score against English teams yet he scored in 2 CL finals against, you guessed it, English teams! If Barca wants to replace him because they think he has a bad attitude etc. fine than they should but that's not what I am talking about. I can't imagine saying these things about a player that has been so influential to my team's success but I guess other people don't feel the same way. Oh wow that was cathartic I actually feel better after that rant :D
What happened to automatically finding a job after graduating? Are those days over?! Apparently to get a good job in Policy I need to be in Washington DC and I don't want to move right now. So i'm taking a chance and applying to this graduate program tthat only admits in the Fall and if I dont get in then its back to my original plan of going for my MPA and apply for January.
Barca is going to Rome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes so happy. People can complain all they want about the ref, but Chelsea had plenty of chances to put the game away and they didn't they can't blame the ref for that. Chelsea only deserved 1 penalty and that was the Pique handball in the box. That said I did feel bad for Chelsea, that was a sucky way to lose a semi-final.
What pisses me off is this bullshit people are saying about the ref being bribed, grow up, the ref is human and shit decisions happen, like Abidal getting sent off, it wasn't just Chelsea who were affected.
I'm happy I get to watch a CL final this year!!!!!!!!
I picked up my cap and gown, tickets and ordered my ring (who knew graduating would be so expensive?!!) and joined the Alumni Association on Friday which made the whole thing OFFICIAL!!! I really didn't think I would be this excited but I am, I can't wait. I'm so excited, I finally graduate and get my degree on May 7th. My professors have been awesome this semester and I have 2 take home finals. Thursday is my last official day of lectures, than I have finals next week all on one day the 30th. NOw I have to get to writing a 10 page paper that is due tomorrow at 6 :(
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhh the new year is finally here. This should be a good year, I graduate in May, it seems as though I've been in school forever. I was thinking with the economy being what it is, applying to graduate school at the university I am currently at, as a backup. I signed up for 4 classes 2 of them I am excited about, "Urban Field Studies" and "Intergovernmental Relations". I think they both are gonna kick my ass though.
I really want to start traveling more, there is so much I want to see, and I'm not getting any younger. Everyone I know right now are so boring, I need a travel/activity partner, just someone to travel and go to show, check out new restaurants with, so I guess I need some new friends :D
I made New Years Resolutions, but I'm not telling what they are I guess I think telling might jinx it. I think I might actually be focused enough to get through them :D
Barca won their game today!!!!! Hopefully they beat Atleti in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday!
It's such a small crazy world, I just found out that this band I've been really feeling lately The Script, 2 of its members used to be in this Irish boyband that I used to love. The music they do with the Script is completely different from MyTown. But everyone should love this band as much as I do their music is seriously good. This is one of my favorite songs from them, check it out!
YES!!!! Finals are finally over! Gah I needed this break I am so sick of school at the moment! Luckily I did great on the grades I got back from finals so far, two 97% so I'm happy about that. I'm really worried about my policy analysis paper though, i've never written one of those before, i'm proud of it but I just need the professor to be:D
