Starboy's Star-Crossed Trophy (entry no.19)

 I don't know why but I've been scared of my computer for the past two days. It goes like this; I want to write an entry, I pick up my computer, turn it on and then quickly turn it off and put it back on my desk, I then put my headphones on, blast music, and walk away. But this to be or not to be dance is killing me and Hamlet is a prime example of the consequences of inaction. Therefore I have valiantly picked up my laptop and have let the thoughts loose as my hands run along the keyboard and try to keep up. I think that's why I've been avoiding my computer, I'm scared of thinking, scared of feeling too much cuz I always do. 

I'm also scared of being a little too deep and honest, especially after last post. I don't think I overshared but I definitely came closer than I normally do. These entries aren't some secret diary that only I have access to. They are also not meant to be a place for me to rant about my problems or cry and complain. The vibes are "Hi I'm Abby and welcome to my TED Talk". They are insightful while also casually breezy. So with that in mind I will now dedicate the rest of this post to Arsenal, in honor of their amazing 23/24 campaign. 

First of all, what a team! From Odegaard to Saliba to Martinelli to the Starboy himself everyone has played phenomenally (except Raya but I don't wanna get into that). I'm especially impressed with our new transfers Declan Rice and Kai Havertz. Although I can't deny the fact that I totally thought they were overpriced transfers, they have stepped up to the plate and have done so much better than I imagined. Kai Havertz especially in this regard since I literally had no hope for him but next thing I know it's "tsamina mina, eh, eh, waka, waka, eh, eh, sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again". If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up cuz it's marvelous. 

It truly is a shame that it didn't work out for us in the end and we came second, but it was still an amazing performance this season. It was such an exciting title race and it's so lame that it ended with Man City on top. If we were gonna come second I wanted it to end with Liverpool so Klopp could have one final hurrah. It's ok, we'll get'em next year, that or we'll bottle it again. As they say, third times a charm and sooner or later that Premier League trophy is coming to the Emirates. 

You're still here? Meet me at entry no.20 :)

Are you coming or going? (entry no.50)

It's been quite a while since my last blog post. Honestly I've been having too much fun while also stressing out and it's made me a fabulous combination of overstimulated and lazy. Hence why I have not posted an entry in over a month! But I don't want to let anymore time pass, I want to keep documenting my life, my experiences, and thoughts for a long time. My life updates aren't as interesting anymore now that I'm not in school. Well my life is actually super interesting right now but I just don't feel like writing about it, I'd rather live it in the moment.  I've got so many exciting plans for the summer, trips I want to take, people I want to see, hobbies I want to get back into. Like I do every summer, I want to go back to learning the ukulele, I also wanna take time to play some of my favorite video games again. I just find it hard to pursue these things cuz I legitimately cannot sit still, it's awful. I still try to pick up a book every now...

I fall for pretty home and away kits (entry no.25)

 Ayeooo, she's back only 4 days later, please hold your applause until the entry is finished. I'm currently a multi-tasking queen, typing away as I watch England vs Serbia, both team's first match in this year's Euro Cup. So far so good, we're winning one nothing and Southgate created a killer starting line-up not gonna lie. We got Kane, Foden, and Saka up front and Rice, Bellingham, and Trent in midfield... need I say more. Now that I'm writing, I realize that I haven't once mentioned what I thought about the team's new jerseys. I think they are cool, very classic looking but not as cool as the ones they wore during the 2022 World Cup. I loved both of those home and away kits. The bright red away colors and the white and bright blue home jerseys were perfection.  However, Germany's home and away kits this year were my absolute favorites. The white home jerseys with hints of red, yellow, and black look so beautiful, almost like the players are on fir...

Co-workers & Classmates (entry no.47)

 Hello! It's been a minute, I know it always has been but I always feel the need to say that when I start an entry. I'm currently in my 10:00 am Web Technologies class, after today I only have to come two more times and I'll officially be done with this course. The same is true for my other Friday class on Microsoft Power Shell, I'm really nervous about that final exam. If I don's pass it I could very easily fail my class. I have NEVER failed a class, not in middle school, not in high school, not in college, and hopefully I never will. Long hours of studying await me to make the previous statement a reality. But my determination is just as strong as my fear and anxiety. If I want it enough I can have it, April is finally here, (not literally, but I'm trying to make a point). Honestly, it feels surreal how close to the finish line I am, college has taken up two years of my life. I was 19 when I started. On week six of my first semester I started working at my cur...
