football

since the end of September weekdays get taken up by uni...mainly the travelling back and forth 44miles four days a week!!*thinking whether it would have been better to live in Loughborough....better still, would it have been better to do my Masters in Manchester*. Well, its a biut too late now. Maybe i'll go to Manchester just for the heck of it...

Being at home i obviously don't get much studying done. All i seem to be doing when i'm at home is picking up the kids and dropping them off somewhere. Not that i mind- cos it gives my mum a break but really this is not the kind of life i would want when i'm older. I mean, mum's been doing this for the past 20 years..surely she can't enjoy it?!! And you're probably thinking its only 20mins each day..NO, its not when you have three different schools to colect all four kids from at different times too!! Plus, my mum all she does is cook...for my dad and the kids. But we'd actually be happy with one dish but she feels like she has to cook 5 just to keep everyone happy. I feel sorry for my mum...think that's why she's looking forward to going away for 7weeks to Bangladesh- there she doesn't have to worry about cooking, worry about getting the kids ready, worry about picking the kids up, blah blah blah. I really do respect women like that and what they have to put up with but can they really do it for the rest of their lives without burning out?!! My mum's superwoman and i love her to bits. I wish she didn't have to put up with 7 bratty kids (the seventh being my dad!).

Anyway, back to what i wanted to write about...which is usually rubbish anyway... every Saturday now i've taken up going to football. Its just a bunch of 10 sisters who play (rubbish) for an hour. Last week was my first week and i was so rubbish- the last time i played was like in primary school with the boys...and mayb a few times at Sunday School with the boys. I really had forgotten how to kick a ball straight and only kept screaming whenever a person came to tackle me. But somehow this week i had improved!! I scored a hat-trick this week (that means i scored three goals for all you amateurs) and so im really chuffed. But that also meannt i had two girls each time trying to tackle me. We're also starting to play badminton too straight after the football. The football made me realisethe lack of exercise i have been getting since i got a car!! Better go now...trying to put off finishing an essay due in for Monday.
