What the World Cup Means to Me
To be honest, I have no idea what football is all about. Let me summarise what I know about football:
- It involves a round ball, a field, and two goals.
- To score, you gotta kick the ball into your opponent’s goal.
- It’s called soccer in the US.
Now, let me tell you what I know about the World Cup:
- It happens once every 4 years.
- The last winner of the World Cup was… Brazil… I think.
- *frowns* or was it… Germany…?
Anyway, as you can see, my knowledge of the World Cup and football is so "vast" that it’s "nonexistent". I tried watching a game of football once, I did… (it was more like a live game of futsal) and almost fell asleep (well, it was at 10pm, in my defense). I just couldn’t stand it. It looks so complicated to me. I hardly know what’s going on 99% of the time.
On another note, my week started off being completely unproductive. I would wake up, go to class, have lunch, go home, sleep, wake up, have dinner, go home, play about 30-40 games of spider solitaire, then sleep again. This would repeat itself until Friday, which was the most productive day of the past 2 months for me. I haven’t properly studied since my finals ended about 2 months ago. Like, hardly ever even opened a book. So on Friday, I actually sat down and did my probability questions, read some chapters out of a statistics book, and actually got the work done. OMG. What an achievement!!! :oO
Furthermore, I managed to start my law assignment. (!!!!!!!wow)
On a more sombre note… I saw two old friends. One I saw yesterday, the other I saw today. I didn’t know that time has changed so much. When did saying "hi" become… something to… avoid…?
Or maybe I am just so disastrous at maintaining friendships. I don’t know.

At least you know more about the World cup than me. World cup in my eyes:-
Millions of people watching 22 people chasing one ball around a large field
Don’t even know who won the previous world cup
Didn’t know that it happens once every 4 years
Don’t know whats so exciting about watching people playing with a ball. Playing the game itself is more fun than watching
