good and bad

i probably shouldn't even be blogging at a time like this. i've still got 2 papers coming up (on mon and wed). however, i just wanna spend some time away from my books.
anyway, i watched the match between man utd and tottenham just now and i guess the result (1-1) was justified. man utd played like they didn't want to win that match and now, they just pushed chelsea further up the league table. but there was one particular moment which made me think - things might change for man utd. near the end of the match, with bout 15 minutes to go, ferguson made a switch which reminded me of the old man utd. he took out bardsley (right back) and played rossi (striker) so effectively, for 15 minutes, man utd played with an attacking formation of 3-4-3!
the way the season started, man utd have been playing a little bit too defensive (the ill famed 4-5-1). especially in games which they could have and should have won by a huge margin. this is not the man utd i started supporting in 96/97. the man utd i knew cared very little bout their defensive record. coz they knew if they let in 2 goals, they would score 3. if they concede 3, they'll go on and score 4. u get the idea. there was an air of confidence around man utd.
but not this season. although they've got arguably one of the best strikeforce in the epl with ruud, rooney and ronaldo (okay, he's not really a striker but his skills are amazing), they seem to hesitate too much in front of goal. wat's wrong with them? i dunno (if i knew, i wouldn't be sitting here). but wat ferguson did today might spark a change in man utd's approach to games this season - i just hope it's not a one time tactic.
ok. back to my books.

going for battle

this is gonna be my last post for the next 2 weeks (gonna have my finals). i have no idea why but this semester, i seem to be slightly under more pressure than the previous semesters... just want to get the papers over with and seriously, a part of me doesn't care anymore about my grades. if i score, great. if i dun - sue me. i really dun care.
ps: this is the pressure talking.

freakin busy

i know it's been a while since my last post but what the heck, i've just been so damn bloody busy! i can't emphasize enough on how busy i've been... my finals is starting in 10 days, and i've got tests every week for the past 4 weeks in a row and still i've got a test next tues... man, i'm flat tired.
to add to all the tests and finals looming close, i've got a mini project to handle as well... and it involves solving a 22x22 matrix! what the @#$%... the mini project itself requires us to use a new software which we've gotta learn (easy as it is, it's still time consuming)... and now we gotta learn another software just to solve that bloody matrix...
not to mention i'm not prepared for the finals at all... hell, i'm screwed!
