Grass rocks!
So they are showing the Stella Artois Championships here. It's on Star Sports...and really late in the night. I'd say 10:30's late 'cause I was already sleepy at 8. You know, school and all.
I was flipping through channels and saw Rafael Nadal playing Lleyton Hewitt...but who I really wanted to see was Andy Roddick. So I just turned off the TV and went to sleep. I found out a few minutes ago that Nadal retired (yey!) and Andy will be playing James Blake in the semis. And oh, I just saw his name...Dmitry Tursunov was in the quarterfinals, but he lost to Tim Henman.
I love the grass season, you know. All those warm-up tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. I mean, grass is so cool to watch. Fast-paced and all that stuff. Really cool. There's nine days to go until Wimbledon.
And did you know that Ralph Lauren is going to dress the ballboys/girls and umpires? Yeah...they're changing it to navy blue. I've seen the sketches. Nice...

Anyway...enough tennis talk. What has happened this week in school? It was pretty uneventful, really. I signed up for the newsletter club (there's nowhere else good to go if you're tired of sports clubs, bored of anything related to Peer Facilitating, and too easily embarassed to do performing arts)...I got a lot of disappointing scores on quizzes...and I tried out for varsity. Too many weird and eager first years for my taste.

I just saw the tennis schedule of Star Sports. They're showing the Stella Artois semis on 8:30 tonight, then the next match is 10:00. But I don't know who are playing which times. Yeah, so go watch it.
Replays of the quarterfinals are also today at various times.
