Life is full of choices... and Olympics continue!

Today I made a choice. I made the choice to read a novel, Tribute by Nora Roberts, instead of studying. I know I am supposed to study, but I didn't. Instead, I chose to read. I can come up with lots of reasons... but in the end, it all came down to my choice.

Life is indeed full of choices. There is no such thing as I can't help it, I have to do this, this is the only way etc etc... you get the idea. I have to be responsible for my action cause well, I chose it. Anything that came out that do not reflect myself taking responsibility are just excuses.

I realized that I have made lots of excuses. Haha. It's really time I grow up and well, accept that whatever actions I take, I have a choice in it. No more excuses. Responsibility is the key. I almost made a bad choice last weekend, but thank goodness sanity prevailed. =) I came out of it, I must say, remarkably alright. And I am proud of myself. I made my mistakes, I will live with them, and I will learn from them. =)

Now... I'll have to deal with the consequences of my work piled up due to me watching all the olympics... sob sob... and I can't watch the Men's football semi-finals tonite cause I have 8am class. Sniff. Sad, cause that will be exciting.. Brazil vs Argentina! Go Argentina! Yes, I still support Argentina even though they lose in the preliminary in the 2000 (I think) world cup and I dun really know their players. But Messi is great! Go Argentina!!

China won most of gymnastics medals tonite. I think they swept all the gold for the Mens event. Cool stuff. I have read manga about gymnastics, and havent really appreciated how difficult it is. Now I do. So... re-read manga again? hahaha...

Channel 7 is showing atheletics. Not that I mind it, but I really wanted to see the 3M springboard finals. As it stands now, after dive 5, He Chong from China is leading... way ahead with about 40 points. Think that seals it :) Another gold to China's divers! Woohoo! I have to say, their divers as amazing.. and yes! I am a fan of Guo Jing Jing. I feel absurdly happy when I see her dive well. Haha.

Ok.. I think I will actually try and sleep... at 11.15pm. That's early for me. But tomorrow will be a long day. 8am-11am: Consumer Behaviour. 1pm-5pm: Work placement. 6pm-9pm: Rehabilitation seminar. Dang. Well, I think I'll bring my consumer behaviour textbook with me tomorrow so I can read during that 2 hour break. I'm actually thinking of going for a nice lunch... which means a bit more expensive... but I think should be ok since I dun do that all the time. But what should I eat? Need to find somewhere that's relatively quiet so I can study and can stay there for 2 hours. Hmmm...
