Iced Tea, Finals, and Freestyle Football

Is it possible that I could have a life that does not require me to work or go to school??? I often ponder that. I sort of wish that I could just do nothing for a living. I could be a professional sloth. It would take all the pressure off of me. My friend Patrick and I were talking about the fact that us Libra's are very lazy and good at doing nothing. I do not know if that is an accurate representation of a Libra, but it sounds about right for me. Whatever. I guess this train of thought was started by the fact that finals are almost here and I have a bunch of exams all piled on top of each other. I am not looking forward to my life over the next week. If I get C's or better I will be happy! I am average and mediocre, I know. You would be too if you took organic chem, microbiology, and cell biology (the plague). Passing sounds good to me.

I met up with my friend Patrick today at The London Tea Room on Washington Ave. and had a phenomenal cup of Iced Jasmine Dragon Tears. If you want a quality cup of tea check this place out: www.thelondontearoom.com . I also shared a french press of their coffee. They serve Metropolis Coffee and it is wonderful as well. In it entirety this place is quality! The environment is quaint and lovely and makes me want to spend hours upon hours there. I cannot say anything bad of the place. So, if you get the chance check it out. The owners are from England and they wanted to open a quality tea room in the heart of St. Louis. The tea room is attached to a furniture store called English Living, also owned by the British family. Anyways, enough of a plug. Just check it out. I'll take pictures and post them next time I am there.

I am obsessed with soccer along with the tea room I referenced in the above paragraph. I guess I am sort of an anglophile. My bud Sean called me an anglophile the other day. I will admit it, I am. If I could, I would live over there in a heart beat, but everyone tells me that the grass is always greener on the other side. That saying kind of annoys me. I know I would love it. I hate it when people try to discourage me when I am excited about something and I hate it when people play devil's advocate too. Drives me crazy. I play indoor recreational soccer on two teams and I love it. I wish I had played my whole life, so then I would be freaking awesome. I go in my backyard and try to practice my ball handling skills. NOT THOSE KIND OF BALLS! Soccer balls! I am trying to juggle the soccer ball. I watch videos of freestyle footballers on you tube and I am in absolute awe. I can juggle the ball like 3 times and then I drop it, but I guess practice makes perfect. I want to be good so bad! I guess I have found the one thing I regret in my life, which is having not played soccer my whole life. I know this is a lame blog, but really, I do regret it. I think that I have some natural ability to play even though I have only really played seriously over the last year and a half. I just think that if I would have played growing up I would be so awesome. Maybe it is all in my head and I am tooting my own horn, but I think that. I wish I could go to soccer camp even though I am 25 and a pathetic loser. I am just going to drop it. Here is a video of an insane football freestyler named Billy Wingrove:


I need to get to bed. I have to get up early because I am going to be an adult chaperon for my teacher friend Sarah's class field trip. I think it will be fun. She teaches sophomores and I feel like not that long ago I was them. It is weird to now be in charge and watch over them. Totally weird.

Another thing: After finals I do have one thing to look forward to. Radiohead!!!!!!!! May 14th! Yessssssssss! Fuck School, I just want to go to Radiohead! Oh, and I did get a job. At Border's not super fantastic, but good enough for now. Only thing that sucks is that I have no idea when I start. They are suppose to call me. So, that blows goats. More added stress during finals! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I am just gonna block it out and think about Radiohead again...... Okay, I'm good. sigh. >.<
