The Pink Ego Box Reloaded.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy...
...says a dude called Edgar Bergen. I have to say, I am a lazy person by definition (a big flaw, I know, but soooo hard to overcome) which is the main reason for my unexpected and long hiatus from the blogging world. Everytime I planned to get writing, I would postpone it and so heaps of cool events have been robbed of a blog entry.

I don't want to bore you too much (in case anyone remembers this blog) so I'll summarize some of the autumn and winter's events.
1) I turned 20! Yep, in September I grew out of the teenage era into the third decade of life.
2) Champions League matches!!!! Romanian football champs CFR Cluj were drawn in group A along Chelsea, Roma and Girondins Bordeaux, so I was to attend three lovely Champions League matches (ok, 1 was not lovely at all, but still ;)). The first match with Chelsea was an overwhelming experience. I had never been to a football match before and I was fascinated with everything. The game was high-quality, but the ball stubbornly refused to enter Petr Cech's goal, so it ended as a blank draw. Next came the disaster with Bordeaux. They are such a crap team with crap attitude and crap players (the only good thing about it is the coach Laurent Blanc, but CFR totally choked both matches and screwed up the entire qualifying campaign. The last match was against Roma, on a bitter cold November evening, and despite CFR's loss and me not feeling my legs from the knees down, it was a nice ending to CFR's Champions League saga. [i'm never good at keeping my sport-related posts short ;), so bare with me]
3) University: Year 2 After succesfully finishing my first year as a Civil Engineering student, October came with a total bullshit uni schedule and with some 'awesome' subjects: PE and English again! (don't roll your eyes, these are serious subjects at UTCN, you should never underestimate them)and Numerical Analysis. Now that I'm in the second semester, the schedule is the same bullshit (we are the black sheep of this faculty; I guess it's because everyone tries so hard not to favour us -an already established myth, that us from the English group are favoured by the professors- that they come to do the opposite), the subjects seem a bit better, but I don't want to make any judgements until I see the profs and grasp the main idea of the subject. (Meanwhile, I should study for Numerical Analysis, as I have to resit my theory exam :( )

There would be some other points worth mentioning like my trips with BEST, ice skating in Drobeta and horribly brusing my knees, the Night Of the AdEaters 2008, Christmas and all that but I think it's enough recapping for a post. (I don't plan to write any other recaps soon)

Excuse me if my writing's a bit rusty, but it's been such a long time since August and my mind is juggling Numerical Analysis, the upcoming Davis Cup tie in Sibiu which I plan to attend, the very promisingly-looking Bestfest (a substitute for last year's incredible Rock Werchter)and Jon Lee Anderson's biography of Che Guevara (which is as huge as a dictionary!).

And to conclude, I must urge you to read 1984 by George Orwell!!!! It's the best book ever! I've been doing some shameless pimping of this book lately but it really is the awesomest book! (ok, maybe not the best, but among the best)
