Nothing much to say!

Been a long time since i last blogged.
Well, i've been pretty occupied the past two weeks ... had to make some fatal decisions on choosing a subject for my master's thesis, one of my close friends gave birth 11:30 on a saturday night, next day spent in hospital, been going to and fro coll. to meet the prof. who's gonna supervise my thesis - who also happens to be one of my best friends' father, which is keeping me a little bit worried ... i read in a novel few weeks ago this sentence "it's easier when your prof is also your uncle, makes you bear up with lotz of stuff" ... hehehe ... offcourse the guy who said this was "in love" with his prof's daughter, but my situation is even a little more intimate coz i know the entire family! But i do find that i accept from him what i can hardly accept from any other prof. ... which might really make it easier!
Anyways, for those wondering about the final, i DID go there. But i'll not blog about that anymore. Really, i have so many conservations about this whole matches issue - despite the fact that i really did enjoy it. I think i was just there to observe and analyze - and of course cheer :P .
Take this: What the heck is wrong with those girls? Going to a match and cheering is one thing, and DANCING fel modaragat, getting out of car windows in the street dancing and shouting is one TOTALLY OUT OF HANDS THING!!! Is this what ppl call "the spirit of sports?" YUCK!
and wut about the prayer thing? Is the government really incapable of providing a decent place for prayer? Would that be the case had this issue been on the agenda of the hosting evaluation? Dare the government say yes?
I've had a long conversation with a colleague of mine about the value of such an event as going to a football match, and i really repect this openion, coz from wut i saw, these are ppl fascinated by smthg. they see for the first time and that's it. It's smthg. new and cool and rewesh and that's all! What did they gain? nothing. what did they lose? nothing. It'd have been smthg. good if they'd not OVERDONE it on the media ... all this talk about the "new spirit of egyptian ppl" and "cultural progress" and even "patriotship"!!! Heck! wut does holding a flag and painting the flag do with patriotship? My DUTCH friend held the flag and painted her face, is she anymore "EGYPTIAN" than i neither did this nor that?!!! I repeat, i'm not AGAINST going to matchs, coz personally i enjoyed it much, but i AM against exaggerating in everthing, trying to be a distorted copycat of the west, while in the same time, we cannot try to copy them in anything useful or productive!
