Fridaez

I'm not supposed to be on the com now, because I'm supposed to be doing my hw during my free period, but well, my self discipline has failed me once again. Today is another match day. Yay! Against SAJC. I hope we can win by a large margin this time. We're soooo going to win every team in our group, i just know it. I hope that I get the chance to play today, as I didn't get to play in the last match. Anyway, I have a few other lessons to attend today before I can finally get out of school. I feel soooo tempted to skip the rest of my classes, but my mum forced me to attend all my classes. --Sigh-- Why did I have to tell her? me and my big mouth! Yup, yesterday's training at NIE was rather eventful. Dark clouds loomed as we boarded the bus, and by the time we reached NIE, it was raining cats & dogs. Lightning was striking all over the place, and every time we wanted to walk to the pitch, lightning would strike just before a loud clap of thunder. At one point, lightning struck the grass patch about 3 feet away from the bus stop, followed by a thunderclap as loud as a synchroniszed 21 gun salute. This deterred us from even trying to go. Before this, Gurmit Singh had driven by in his car and told us to walk to the pitch in the rain despite coach telling us to wait at the bus stop for him (because of the lightning threat). After a long time, Gurmit Singh came by in a raincoat and a loudhailer, and made us walk all the way to the pitch despite the presence of lightning. He then said that they didn't pay $180 for the pitch for us to wait at the bus stop. (Fancy staking 20 lives for $180. That means **calculator punching** that each of our lives is only worth 2 extra value meals from Mc Donalds. I'll leave the rest up to your own judgement.) Ok, enough of the bad memories. I've really gotta go.
