I never thought that i'd ever have a sleepover on a school night. but then again, i don't think of a lot of things. yesterday, edmund had the crazy idea of staying over at lionel's house to watch the world cup final. and i had the crazy idea of agreeing to it. so edmund and i went over to his house at about 11pm, and rayson joined us at around midnight (haha he missed the last train and had to cab his way there). between midnight and 2.30am, we were watching Jake and Amir videos (which by the way are awesomely funny and highly recommended :D ) and the double rainbow video (more on that later). and we also watched bear grylls taupok a pig :D
the match itself was kind of disappointing. they literally couldn't play for more then a minute without someone where committing a foul. and holy crap, all those yellow cards. according to the commentator, in all the previous 18 world cup finals there were 40 yellow cards (so that's about 2 per match), but in this morning's match alone there were 14 yellow cards (with only one red card -.- ). and of course with all the yellow cards, there were some spectacular fouls to go with them. there were players bear-hugging players, players jump-kicking players, players shoving players after the referee didn't award a foul, and even a spanish player who accidentally headbutted his own goalie in the bad place. but the most disappointing thing about the match was the utter lack of goals. so many good opportunities for both sides were thrown away because someone tripped over his own feet or screwed up the free kick or panicked when it came down to just him and the goalie. it was a goalless draw at the end of 90min and the only goal of the game came at 116min: an admittedly beautiful shot from iniesta that went right under the goalie's hand and propelled spain to their first world cup title.
pro tip: for the 2014 world cup, whenever spain is playing, always bet either 1-0 or a goalless draw. because that's really all they seemed to be doing the entire tournament.
so anyway, the match ended at 5am, and we had to start getting ready for school at 6.30am, so one could probably guess our mental state the entire day at school. the entire day today i had this stoned expression. as in more stoned than i usually look, which is saying a lot. luckily there wasn't much actual learning today, because mostly we were just getting back CT results. i scraped an A for physics, which i'm of course thankful for, and got a D for chemistry, which is within mr low's warning of CDE. i was hoping that it might be a C, but i guess i'm still grateful that it wasn't an E. there's still H2 math, H3 math and GP left, and the first one is the only one of the three that doesn't immediately fill me with a sense of foreboding.
but there's no use fretting over the inevitable, so i shall put those thoughts out of my mind in favour of something more epic, like the aforementioned "double rainbow video":
i've seen this video a few weeks ago already, but ever since chin posted it on his facebook wall it's become an instant hit with the 27 guys. now whenever we see two of anything we have the uncontrollable urge to yell "OH MAI GAWD OH MAI GAAAWWWDDD WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?!"
