Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Shelley! I'm having to translate his poem to Estonian. Between me and you, I loath the job, it's so bloody frustrating. Grr..!
Another frustrating thing I have to deal at the moment is cutting the amount of words I have in my article for English. Oh God, I have about 300+ words and I have to cut it by 150 words. Life is unfair. It is going to sound so cheesy. Even cheesier than it sounds now. I put my whole effort in making it as short at it is and still.. it is too long.
I should make a mental note to my future self not to leave Shelley's poetry and an article I feel so passionate about on a Sunday evening. Hah, there is absolutely no chance in hell I would fallow my advice.
Talking about school, I've got a renaissance art test coming up tomorrow. Plus, it would be more than advisable to study French, Chemistry and Math. Not talk about all the big tests coming up this week. I don't actually know weather this is a bad thing or not, but I don't worry too much about my school stuff. I care about it, but I don't worry. I will manage somehow, I always do in the end. Besides, I sleep well at night when I work.
Today I made a couple of phone calls that were important to me, I just thought I should mention it. As for the weekend, it has been on the cultural side and I rather enjoyed it.
Today my sister actually paid me a compliment when she told me I don't write that bad at all. This is big, coming from her.
Okay, my pointless everyday crap ends here. I just want to paste my article on Zizou here because I haven't mentioned a word of him in this oh so very sweet blog o' mine. Think about it, what if I died and you never found out who my favorite soccer player was. Oh, the tragedy..
Zinedine Zidane is considered to be on of the best players who ever lived. He can easily be compaired to such football legends as Pele or Maradona. This is undestandable since he was the key player for the World and European Championships as well as the UEFA Championships.
Zidane was born in Marseille, in 1972 and he started playing football at a very early age. At the age of 14 his professional career started and four years later he was already the hero of the French league. From that season onward, many of the European clubs kept an eye on him including his future club, Juventus.
Zidane made his international debut on 17 August in 1994, against the Czech Republic, having scored two goals. Four years later, he became the hero of the 1998 World Cup. The success didn’t end here. Zizou helped his team reach the Euro 2000 final with inspired play and important goals. Fans all around the world fell in love with him as they had never seen such skill and invention on the football field. The French captain earned the nickname Magician.
Unfortunately, the end of his international career at the 2006 World Cup was quite dramatical and depressing for the French team. Zizou helped his team earn a place in the final, but was sent off the pitch in a very critical moment. Italy won, the French lost everything. It was a superb tournement, but like many other fans, I also hated the final match. I never want to see it again.
Nevertheless the drama of the last World Cup, Zidane will always be the most skilled football magician of our decade. Wheather you like him or not, you must agree that football isn’t the same without him.
