Second Week


So...
1. Soccer: I scored 2 goals for intramurals this weekend. It felt so good; something's actually going right. I think i'm officially the starting striker now. We play a 3-4-3 formation which i am LOVIN!!! It's so great. Centre Forward. My touch on the ball is getting better each day, I can't wait for interhouse. Our team is set.

2. Friends: Punzinha and Jujuba are gone to Washington. I didn't get her anything. Partly b/c of my current cash situation. Mostly because I can't really accept that she's gone for good. Seems to me like this is more of a phase. A BIG phase, but a phase nonetheless. My bro's not saying much about the situation; probably b/c there's nothing he can really do about it. But I can tell he misses her, and she misses him. If only that were enough to make it happen.

3. About life: A few people have asked me, "How's life?" recently. Sadly i couldn't even think of a proper answer. The response "fine" has lost all meaning to me now. Recently i've lost the desire in saying things just for the joy of having said it. Could this be the end to Jamil's quick-wit and humourous doings? Probably not. I pretty much stopped being funny for social reasons in highschool. I'm much more genuine in my thoughts and actions these days. As a consequence, I'm finding that I have little to say to a lot of people that I used to have a lot to say to. (Get it?)

4. Ladies: I think maybe I should get a girlfriend now. I have no time for one. I have no money for one. But shit, a girlfriend would be good right about now. Or maybe just some sattellite TV. I suppose I would be indifferent between getting 2 hrs of European Champions League Soccer, and having 2 hrs with an azn girl. You know what I need? A girl who's as busy and broke as I am! That way, she won't be calling me at all hours of the night when I need to study, and she'll appreciate the 'romantic implications' behind a cost-effective, time-efficient date! That way I would only see her generally when I need to, and it wouldn't cost me too much - much like satellite TV. I'm gonna go scout for some Co-op girls tmrw. They just paid the same tuition fees i did!

5. I have entered the pit that I previously entered this time last year. My studying thus far has been minimal. But i finally think I'm ready to pull myself out of the pit. The studying starts now!

First Week

So....

1. I didn't make the cut for tri-campus. So i guess i'm playing intramurals again this year .

2. I've photocopied all my books except macroeconomics, and half of international business, and so the studying begins!

3. Punzinha moves to Washington this wednesday; I should get her something nice before she leaves.

4. I have about 3-4 thousand pages to read this semester, so i can afford no wasted time.

consequently...

5. Vaya con Dios. Talk to u next week. Or should I say 'wan'an', cuz i'm gonna need to learn some mandarin this year!

"Loooong time, we nuh have no nice time!"

It's official. The votes are in and have all been counted. The new governor of the State of Jamil's Affairs is....Jamil Lumley! After a 4-year long term, Sloth and Mediocrity have lost their seat in the office and support by the people. This is mainly due to recent low marks in summer school causing a revolt in the City of Jamville. Warm welcome and long live El Presidente Jamil!

So here I am, the friday before school. I haven't blogged in awhile. Haven't had much to blog about. Went to NYC... couple birthday parties...bought a locker.... almost done reading a book. Nothing big really. I think i'm gonna cut blogging down to a weekly event anyhow. I plan on working very hard this semester. (There's a first time for everything). I was talking to Tim (my upcoming International Business Prof.) he said that if I do well, he might just consider me for TA'ing in the winter. So the pressure is on. 4.0's across the board this yearm Scarborough's gonna win the tri-campus soccer league this year, i'm making sure of that! And my team is gonna own interhouse! Shit i gotta talk to Randy about coaching indoors! Ugh, and so marks the beginning of a new year!
