23:46:00
The week just past was one of the more unsatisfactory weeks of my life.A bust up on Monday was the prelude to countless wasted hours. Of course I got the opportunity to just rest up and do what I wanted, but then, sometimes you just want something to do in the day to occupy yourself. Work, school, tuition, whatever. Speaking of which, I still remember how nice it felt after having tuition at 8.30 in the morning every Saturday. I know, it sounds odd for someone to be saying 'I like tuition in the early hours of my weekend!', but the point is, the rest of the day afterwards just feels so much better, you know? It's like you paid your dues, and now it's time to relax.Granted, 2 hours of tuition on a Saturday morning can't possibly be described as 'dues' (too small), but still. As it is, I don't have anything like that anymore, and while it's nice to have the whole day to yourself, doing whatever you want, it gets... Tiresome? Mundane? Can't get the right word, but it just feels not too good.At least there was some good news over the weekend; Liverpool got beaten by Barnsley and we thrashed Arsenal 4-0. I've had better weeks in terms of football results, but this probably rates pretty highly in any United fan's books. It's the Champion's League next with a big match against Lyon. Difficult, I'd say, but at least we're not facing either of the Milan clubs, or any of the traditional giants of European football like Real Madrid or Barcelona. That said, despite all the rubbish that's happening behind the scenes at Anfield at the moment, I think Liverpool will surprise us all by beating Inter. Just a little gut feeling of mine. I still hope I'm wrong and Ibramovich scores hat-tricks in both matches and Inter dumps Pool out 10-0 on aggregate, but yeah, gut feeling.Just feeling kind of unsatisfied at the moment, with holes to be filled but nothing to fill them with. Oh well, life goes on. I'll just take the current situation for what it is and enjoy the massive amounts of free time I have. I'll have to find things to do though. Oh well, once again.
