I don't know if I should stay up/wake up at 2.30am today to watch England vs Northern Ireland. I'm really torn. Maybe I should have lots and lots of coffee tonight, and complete Social Change + Pinter + Good Offices of Secretary-General. Then I'll get to watch OWEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoho :) I miss him :( I miss seeing him and Gerrard play together.. they used to have such a cute bond at Pool. Hopefully Carragher plays too, so it'll be a complete happy little family. (It would be a bonus if Murphy were in the squad like in the past too, but sigh. I guess that's impossible what with the likes of Lampard and Joe Cole and Becks in the squad).

Wait a minute, I'm assuming that Eriksson has enough sense left in him to play 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 instead of 4-5-1. Rooney cannot operate alone. I hope he has some cowsense to play two strikers. I'm more for the 3-5-2 formation actually. A 5-man midfield can do wonders. Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and David Beckham. Dream team, one might say, but why is it that England are such FLOPS?! Is it because Eriksson is too naive? Or are the players finding it hard to gel? Personally, I would like to see the strikeforce consist of Wright-Phillips and Owen, cos I'm no fan of Rooney, but that's quite unlikely huh? Maybe that'll be the answer. The defence - Carragher, Ferdinand, Young. (In the long term - Carragher, Ferdinand, Terry?) With a team like that... sigh. I'm hoping I won't stay up for nothing tonight.

Mr Lee said that my painting style has become more "free" and I won't deny that. I'm actually having quite a lot of fun. Art is my staple. I don't show it, but there's no avoiding the fact that I love the subject. More so than Lit or History, and definitely MUCH MORE than math. So to all you people who think that I'm focusing on Lit, History and Math for my A Levels, you're so darn wrong. I'm aiming to be balanced. I do not view any of these 4 subjects in isolation, but as a whole. I want to do well in all of them. Ambitious, ignis fatuus? That's up to you. It's gonna be a David vs Goliath, but oh well, we all know who came off the better in that battle arena don't we?
