Priorities

I haven't blogged on here in a while, so I thought I would deprive myself from some studying and several hours of sleep in order to write this. I don't even know what I'm going to write about... 

School has been going pretty good. The teachers are definitely giving us too much homework, but I can handle it, so far there have been no projects which is good. I did write an essay for AP European history which I thought was pretty good, and I did get an A :) If you read this far, then I'm very proud of you, here is an imaginary cookie, and a Ronaldo *hands over*

I've recently noticed a shift in my priorities. (wow that's a change of topic). Last year it used to be school, friends and then other random stuff. Now it's sports, school, and friends. It's kind of funny because I deprive myself from studying in order to watch sports, which I've never done before. Not only that but I spend more time watching sports than I do with my friends outside of school. It's kind of weird and I know that most of my friends don't understand it, but football is just so amazing and it makes me relax and forget about school and everything else. Over this weekend I watched six soccer games, and I was going to watch more but I had to take a break and write a four-paged essay. 

I don't really have anything much to say here, so I guess I should leave the internets and get some sleep. 

Lots of Wishing

I haven't blogged in a while, but even though it's almost two in the morning, I'm exhausted, and I'm not really feeling well I'm still going to write this. School has been pretty tough the first three weeks. Tenth grade is a lot different from ninth- they started giving us homework the second day of school. The second day... AP Chemistry is really tough and I think I'm actually going to struggle a lot in that class, but I hope that I make it. Anyway, I don't want to talk about school here. 

Last week I went to see Depeche Mode live when they came down to Miami for a concert and they were amazing! I think that must have been the best concert I've been to so far, and we were sitting pretty close to the band too, which was awesome. I wasn't really feeling well throughout the whole concert because something really weird happened. They started playing one of their songs, I can't remember which one, and it had a really hard core bass going on, the kind where you can feel everything shaking. For some reason I couldn't breathe because of the base so I had to walk out of the concert and I almost passed out, but then they started playing my favorite song "Enjoy the Silence" so I had to run back in there even though I wasn't feeling well. 

So this week my parents decided to drag me to Sea World with them. I wasn't really excited because that mean that I would have to do all my homework while I was at a crappy hotel and that I couldn't watch most of the tennis matches, and no soccer. I missed my first Manchester United game since around April, and it happened to be a great game which they won. But going to Sea World was actually really fun. I got to watch dolphins and whales do cool things and even though I still have two English tests and a project due on Monday I'm happy I came. Tennis wasn't a huge issue because all the matches have been delayed and I got to watch the big tennis drama tonight. 

While we were driving to Orlando from Miami I was talking with my parents about soccer. They were telling me about the Great World Cup of 1994. I call it the Great World Cup because it was the only team that Bulgaria did well in a World Cup, by well I mean we got fourth place. My parents were talking about how we almost didn't qualify and then how we lost our first match to Nigeria and then we beat Argentina and France and Germany, and many other great teams. I was surprised by how much my parents remember about that World Cup. They told me how we scored a our goal in the last minute in Paris to win the match 2-1 and how during that match God was Bulgarian and we qualified for the World Cup. They told me how the French stadium fell in complete silence as their chances of going to the World Cup were thrown out the window. Until this day the French still hate us for that win. 

I wish I was there when that had happened. Well technically I was, but I was too small to remember, I wasn't even a year old. My mom told me I started crying when Bulgarian eliminated Germany and reached the semi finals and the entire country cheered so loudly. I wish I had cheered with them because just listening to my parents talk about it gives me goose bumps. I wish that I remember when Bulgaria was good at something other than volleyball. I wish I remembered the Gold Generation. 

I wish a lot of things, too bad they can't happen. 

School

starts on Monday. 

I'm excited because:

• I get to see my best friends every day, have almost every class with them.
• I get to share lunch with everyone while making perverted jokes/ throw food at each other.
• I get to take European history.
• I get to learn how to play guitar. 

I'll definitely miss:

• the fact that the most important thing in the world was what soccer player got transferred to what soccer club, and the fact that Manchester was winning games. 
• staying up until 3 o'clock and reading soccer news
• waking up at 2 in the afternoon
• waking up at 10 in the morning to watch soccer and then going back to sleep
• watching tennis all day
• watching soccer all day 
• singing Manchester United's song on the top of my lungs because I have nothing better to do 
• reading books for fun 
• getting to see my best friend almost every day 
• googling pictures of soccer players for hours 
• making schedules of sports that I have to watch 
• blogging at three in the morning 
• watching YouTube videos for insane amount of hours 
• blogging almost every day
• not giving a shit about anything

Soccer (what an original title)

Warning: as this title says the following blog will contain A LOT of soccer ramblings. You have been warned.

If you haven't figured it out yet, soccer is the one sport that I am really passionate about, and I really love it. (Some of my friends say that I am obsessed, but don't believe them). So today was the Champions League final, and it was Barcelona v. Manchester. As you probably know Miami has a large Hispanic population, and therefore a lot Barca fans, which are currently really happy that Barca won the game. I have to give this one to them, because Manchester played horribly. They played so bad that I didn't even finish watching the game, which rarely happens no matter how badly the team I like is losing. I mean this was SO bad I had to mute the TV and read a book so I didn't have to watch. I don't understand what was wrong with Manchester, they had such a good season, they got the Premier League title and they have been undefeated in the Champions League, but this was really bad. I won't try to defend them because they definitely did not deserve to win this game and Barca was just better, they covered Rooney so well and Messi is just amazing. 

One thing that makes me really mad about Manchester is Ronaldo. I mean he just makes me MAD. I have to admit he is good, but he has to tone it down a little. He gets way too mad whenever the referee calls on him and even when he gets called on offside. And this game he made way too many mistakes. And don't even get me started on Berbatov (the Bulgarian player) he didn't do anything. I can't believe Ferguson let him play center, that should have been Rooney, I mean he is much better than Berbatov. Berbatov really needs to get his game on and start moving around that field, and not just hang around the center. Oh well, there is always next year. 

Anyway, right now I'm watching the French Open and Maria Sharapova and Petrova are playing and it's freaking me out. I really don't like watching girl's tennis because they sound like they are being tortured. Sharapova is making these really weird noises right now, and they are kind of creeping me out. I love watching guys tennis though, Federer is definitely my favorite :D I really hope he wins the French Open. 

And if you are still reading, (which I doubt you are) have a prize in the form of a picture of a hot soccer player: 

I should probably go sleep now since I went to sleep at like one last night.

Bye

This is not a title.

Hello peoples of the planet Earth! Today's blog comes to you with limited commercial interruptions, and it is in the form of a list, because lists are awesome. 

1. Excuses 

Well, I happened to miss another one of our BEDA chats :( I have an excuse, which is the fact that I only check my blog ones a day, so I didn't see the comment I got on page until today, oh and also I had to study for my AP World History test (what a surprise), which I have basically been doing for the past couple of weeks, and I'm basically freaking out *jumps off an imaginary cliff*

2. Review things 

So, I was planning on writing a review of the Chelsea v. Barcelona game that was played today for the UEFA Champions League semifinals, but as you can see I am not doing that. I hoped that Chelsea and Barca would put on a good game, or at least something worth reviewing, but the entire game was basically Barcelona attacking and Chelsea defending. It ended with a stupid 0-0 draw *yawns and throws soccer ball at TV*

3. Winning things

I don't know if you remember but last week or something I posted a blog where I discussed me presenting a power point about social networking. That power point was entered into a Youth Fair competition in Miami Dade, and apparently I got second place. The prize that you get is money, and I got.... wait for it... *drum roll* four dollars. Yep, I spent hours working on that power point and I got second place and four dollars. Oh, yeah and first place winner got five dollars. I know we are in an economic recession, but come on!

4. Getting nominated for things 

My Spanish teacher nominated me for the Spanish award at high school, which I think is pretty cool, and kind of weird. I kind of don't like Spanish at all, and I really don't want to learn it, and I'm really bad at actually speaking it. But the teacher likes me because I suck up to her and I do anything she asks me to do. Then my friend told me that my English teacher is considering me for the English award. That is AMAZING! My teacher is amazing, but her class is really hard, and even though I have a 96 in it (which I think is the highest grade in my class) I'm not really good at English. I mean I am a decent writer, and I really try my hardest, but I obviously don't have a very good vocabulary and  my grammar is far from perfect considering that English is not my first language and I only moved to America four years ago. I mean I was really happy just knowing that she considered me for the award. 

5. Done?

I think that this is it for today. I'm going to post my review of the Manchester v. Arsenal game tomorrow if it's worth to write about. I'm going to go study for AP World now. 

P.S. you get 10 imaginary points if you can guess which surrealist artist inspired the title of this blog. Hint: his name is Рене Магрит 

Goodbye

Midnight blogging

Hi... um lets pretend that this blog isn't late *pretends*

So, I'm going to skip yesterday's theme about current events because that would take me a while, and I would have to do some research. Considering that I love talking and arguing about politics there might be a huge chance that I will get into an argument with myself (happens quite often...) and just ramble on for pages. Instead, I will just tell you about my not-as-hell-week-as-Sarah's. 

I had lots of trouble with going to sleep this week, and I blame it all on The Office and the Internet. I mean I have serious procrastinating issues. Sometimes I know that I have to do work, and I'm telling myself that I have to stop watching The Office (or that amazing soccer game, OMG Arshavin, OK, I won't talk about soccer, I won't talk about soccer *explodes*) but I still don't do it. Like yesterday, I had to do math homework for two sections and write a lab report for chemistry, but considering it was early release I decided to go out with my friends at the beach. That was amazing by the way, I had lots of fun playing volleyball with my best friends <3 Oh, and some random dudes from Chicago walked up to our group and wanted to play with us, and they were hitting on some of my friends, but they didn't like me cause I had an attitude :P I tend to have a really big attitude when I'm talking to people that piss me off, or people that I just don't like. Anyway, so that was really fun, but I didn't go to sleep until 12:30 and I almost fell asleep in Chem today, so that wasn't such a good thing. 

And my AP World History teacher is still giving us quizzes every day (that reminds me I have to study for the one on Monday) and we are still only going over the early Renaissance Era. I really like history, but I like more modern history, like the Cold War and Communism and the War on Terror are my specialities, or basically anything that has lots of politics involved (I like to argue with people a lot), so I'm not really into the whole Renaissance thing. 

Anyway, so today after school I had to take the bus home, and getting from school to my house takes an hour and a half (including walking an waiting), and then I had fifteen minutes to get ready and clean my room and go and catch the same bus so I could go over my friend's hou play the steel drums at her school and it was really awesome, and then I got to hang out with her, and we had a fake pillow fight and then we made stupid Harry Potter references. Which reminds me that tomorrow I'm hanging out with her and we are having a Harry Potter movie marathon, and we're making cookies! Yay! 

Oh, and I've been in lots of pain for the past two weeks, my problem is that I have a really high pain tolerance and I usually don't tell people that I'm in pain until I can't get out of bed. My neck has been hurting a lot, and sometimes the pain would stop and then I would feel like someone is stabbing me at the side of my neck and it would start again. I asked my mom to give me a massage today and it really hurt, but I didn't really help, it just hurts ever more, oh and I had a sunburn so that massage was really painful.

Sorry, if this has been really long and boring, but I kind of wanted to write about everything I cared about that happened this week *tries to contain herself from talking about soccer*... I actually really am considering doing BEDM because I like the whole blogging thing, but I probably wouldn't be able to do it every day 'cause my AP World history test is in three weeks *freaks out and hides under bed covers*

Oh, and my question for Monday is What's are your favorite bands and songs, and why.

Goodnight <3

I'm sorry I couldn't contain myself... But the Arsenal game against Liverpool was AMAZING. That's all I'm going to say, I promise... 

Moving to England?

Well, no sports new today for you my friend :D Although I have to mention a video that John Green linked in his blog to the final of the 2005 Champions League when Liverpool came back from 3-0, which is pretty amazing. 

Anyway I am very disappointed to admit that today I woke up at two in the afternoon... I love sleeping late. but I hate sleeping this late. Then it feels like you've wasted your entire day, which you really have. And I had sooo much stuff to today, but I was like whatever, shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I did write my book reaction though, which I'm happy about. I have no idea what else to write about in here today. 

Oh right, there is this girl that I follow on twitter, and I'm subscribed to on youtube (youtube.com/sophiebeard) and she posted a link to her blog on twitter and I read it. I'm not going to go into full detail about her blog but it was about her parents were looking for new jobs and how they might be moving so she has to look for a place to live. So I was thinking how I can't wait to move out with living from my parents. I can't wait to graduate, move to England and start university! I might not have mentioned it, but I kind of have an obsession with all English things... When I was around seven and I saw Legally Blond for some reason I thought that it took place in England so I really wanted to go live there. When I was around 9 I really wanted to live in America, and now I am, and I see that it's nothing special, and I really want to go back to Europe (not Bulgaria, or any other Eastern European country for that matter), specifically England. So yeah, my plan is to graduate high school in America, and then apply to college in England with my Bulgarian citizenship ('cause it will be much cheaper) and move to live there :P 

I'm going to go watch the office now 

Byes 

A list:  

read Slaughterhouse Five

read 1984

choose a surrealist to write about 

read entire AP World History Book

study Classical Civilizations 

write a book reaction on The Human Story

Right, first thing today: CHELSEA WTF?! Holy shit they played well. I mean, they're not such a great team, but beating Liverpool at their home stadium that was pretty awesome. I didn't really care about who won, but it was kind of awesome when Chelsea won. Oh, and what's up with Bayern losing to Barca 0-4, ummm yeah that sucked, and I really don't like Spanish teams, so yeah...

I actually found time to do something else other than look at youtube videos and go on Twitter. I finished reading one of my books called The Human Story, yeah the book basically covers the entire human history in like 450 pages, and it was pretty cool. I'm also reading 1984, which is really amazing, but I've only read 80 pages, so I'm not that far in. I don't think I've mentioned it on here, but I really love reading. I usually don't make new year's resolutions, but I made one this year to read 50 books, which is perfectly manageable, since I did it last year. I've only read 10 as of right now, but that's ok :P I just realized that I haven't talked about a lot of things on here, like Harry Potter and Nerdfighters...

So, Harry Potter, I first read it when I was six, it was more like my mom forced me to read it. I hated the book the first time I read it, just because my mom wanted me to like it so much. But then my best friend read it, and she thought it was amazing, so I was convinced to re-read it, and eventually fall in love with it. I remember when I first tried to read a Harry Potter book in English, it was the Half-Blood Prince, and I had a very hard time understanding it. Like I didn't understand half the terms in there, and I was basically like WTF throughout the whole novel. And I remember going to see the first Harry Potter movie in the theater, and it was the first time that I've gone to a movie theater. There weren't enough seats so my parents had to leave me alone in the theater 'cause I refused to leave. For some reason there was an intermission in the middle of the movie and I walked out looking for my parents, but they had gone out somewhere, and I freaked out thinking that they had left me in here, and will never come back for me. When the movie ended, I actually cried, you know at the part when Hagrid gives Harry the album with his parents' pictures. I mean it was just sooo sad... Basically, I'm a Harry Potter Nerd, I've seen the movies like 5123414 times, and these are the only books that I have ever re-read. Oh yeah, and you don't want to watch a HP movie with me in the room, because I recite all the lines, and it gets really annoying but I can't help it...

Moving on to nerdfighters. I iz a nerdfighter (A person that is not made out of bones, or tissues, but made out of awesome. We are fighting nerds that want to decrease world suck). John Green's books are simply amazing, there is just no other word that can describe them <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Paper Towns and Looking For Alaska which is a good thing, because if I read a good book, no matter if it has a happy or sad ending, I always cry <(^.^)> Oh, and I've met John Green, and he signed both of my books, and my backpack, which is pretty freaking awesome :P

I realize that this post has become really long, so I'm going to leave you now. 

Goodbyes

Fail Day

So today, I basically just sat in front of the TV and watched soccer.... They were showing a replay of the Manchester United v. Aston Villa game, and of course I had to watch. It was horrible, Manchester was a disaster, and the game against Porto- even worse. I really thought they had a chance to win the Champions League, but after that disastrous game I doubt they will. Anyway, I can't decide who I'm rooting for tomorrow, Liverpool have had a really good season, but I really like Chelsea 'cause one of my favorite players is there (Ballack <3). 

I tried to do my report on a surrealist, but that didn't work either, my creativity has completely disappeared. So yeah, basically for the rest of this blog I'm going to ramble about random things I wrote down under a list labeled: Blog. 

The first thing said AP Stats, aaarrrghhh.

I really wanted to take AP statistics next year and not only Pre- Calculus. But my math teacher doesn't think I'm good enough. Well, excuse me, but that is not fucking true! I get straight A's in her class, along with a few other people. I mean, doesn't that show her that I'm good enough?! I get 100's on all her tests, and I'm still not good enough? Yeah, maybe I have gotten stupider in America, but I'm still really good at math. In Bulgaria I used to be very, very good at math, like I was really good at solving the complicated word problems that I can't solve anymore, and I used to do very good mental math. I think I still have my math in me, even though I'm not as good as I used to be, and yeah I am good enough! Whatever, I realize that I sound like a bitch who thinks too much herself, but I'm pissed!

On a lighter note, DAVE IS AMAZING. I had to get that out of my system :P I was listening to the songs on his myspace and his musical talent baffles me. I really love his song "Untitled", which has been stuck in my head all day, and I think he should definitely finish "Blackout" its an amazing song. He should make a CD soon, because I really want to buy his music :D Oh, and also he is the person that has inspired me to start learning guitar, even though I didn't get far, but I amtaking guitar class next year *crosses fingers*

watch Manchester win

I very much enjoy watching sports. 

I know this is kind of a random way to start a blog, but I really do. I'm currently watching Spanish soccer on mute, but it's not very in

teresting anyway. I love watching soccer, but sadly I cannot play it, the only sport that I can actually play is volleyball. I used to be a very athletic person, I've played tennis, soccer, basketball, rugby, field hockey, and volleyball, but now im just a lazy girl with a TV remote. Back to soccer, I can spend hours in front of the TV and watch soccer, and I do that almost every weekend. I'm a huge fan of English soccer, Manchester being my favorite team. I'm very excited for tomorrow's game against Porto, and I hope that Manchester can kick some serious ass, even though Berbatov and Rooney won't be playing. But Liverpool has been doing really well this year also, and I kind of like them, but not really. I've discovered that I actually like Torres. I'm not a huge fan of the Spanish team (because they beat Germany at the Euro Cup final), but I have to admit that he is kind of cute, oh and really good also. 

Putting soccer aside, wasn't Murray awesome yesterday?! I mean at one point I really though that he had lost the game, but then he came back and I was like YES!

Sorrys if this was kind of boring but I'm procrastinating right now, and I can't think of anything else to write about except sports....

Oh wait! Julia Nunes, right, I started listening to her last night. I've heard of her before, and I knew who she was and stuff, but I never actually paid attention to her music (except Blue Skies' cover of "Into the Sunshine", which I love). I had nothing to do last night at 3, so i decided to check out her channel, and I have completely fallen in love with their music. Her songs are so amazing, and she is so funny and pretty :].

So, I should probably get back to finishing homework.

-G.
