Well some teachers are just jerks really. Not that it bothers me that much, just saying. Some can be real motivators, really honest no sarcasm involved, but some really should realise that using the extremeness of reverse psychology sometimes just doesn't work. Well maybe they'll argue if you're working hard enough you'll have nothing to worry about, but there's just one thing. Sometimes you might feel the work you put in is enough for say a B, or C, and maybe you don't get that, you get something lower. And sometimes there is a limit, even to how much you can push yourself to. Hmm, sometimes I just wonder can you really blame it all on the student? No one's totally at fault, and I take that stand for almost every situation where there is a "right" and a "wrong".
Anyway results today was okay. Overall it was good thus far, but seems to me that I probably need to reduce my rest time for the next week and slowly ease myself back on track to work, after these few days of R&R (yah there's still the start of this fortnightly history essay test,
wonderful!), and maybe the rest of the results I get back will boot myself back to reality and realise I'm still not good enough, yet. Keyword is yet.

Sometimes I really wonder to myself, what do I really want? Very easy question, yet the answers are either aplenty, or very minimal. It's no more T -X weeks to BT2s, it's now T -4 months to 'A's.
Great.

Another thing, I'm going to try to be nicer to everyone since it's like 4 months left. Lol may sound hypocritical or two-faced and everything but I don't care. I shall TRY to be as nice as possible. And I really want to give back to those who have supported me for the past year or so, in some way that I am still thinking up. (:

OK two nights of semis are over, and my, it was good, especially the first one.
1. Giovanni van Bronckhorst goal against Uruguay. Definitely goal of the tournament unless the finals or 3rd/4th placing game produces a 50 yard dipping curler scorcher shot by Carles Puyol or Maarten Stekelenburg. I mean who would have thought van Bronckhorst, of all people would have even have the nerve to attempt such an audacious long shot. It beat the 'keeper and crept into the underside of the top right hand corner post. Magnificent goal.
2. Spain into the Finals for the first time in their history. Well if the Swiss defeat was anything to go by, it was certainly a wake up call for Spain and Vicente del Bosque, that first, nothing can be taken for granted, and you can't play 4 playmakers in one team, respectively. So after some rigid defending and magnificent passing ability shown by Xabi Alonso, Xavi and co., and of course David Villa's lethal finishing, Spain are in the final. Defeating a team that beat Argentina and England 4-0 and 4-1 is no mean feat, and keeping a clean sheet is an achievement as well. And yes I'm for Fernando Torres to score the winner on Monday morning and say he'll stay at Liverpool the next day.
3. Diego Forlan's impressive equaliser against Holland. Maybe Stekelenburg may have some fault, but Forlan's curling effort was too hot to handle, but that just shows the quality Forlan has, even though he didn't show it for Man Utd. Another goal against Germany would be good. :D

Oh ya, honesty really is the best policy. Don't lie peeps. If you don't deserve it, it's probably 'cos you don't.

And ONE last thing. I'm done. T -4 is too important.
