Happy Fixture Day!
For those of you who could care less about the world's most popular sport, you can just ignore the top half of this post. For all the rest of you, check out the schedule for the 2004-5 English Premier League. Liverpool opens up away at Tottenham so that means we need to get together, get our boys signed and get busy. We were a very distant 4th this year, 15 points behind Man U, and 30 (!!!) points behind league winners, Arsenal. Arsenal lost not one game last season. Not one. Twelve draws, twenty six wins. Liverpool also had twelve draws but TEN losses and sixteen wins. If some of those losses had been wins....well, that's the good thing about seasons. A new one will always roll around. Hopefully, everyone is recuperating, and not expending themselves too heavily playing for God and Country. (EURO 2004, World cup Qualifying...)
In other Premiership news:
Last year's #2 and #3 (Chelsea and Man U)meet up on day one of the Season. (August 14th by the way) Its always good to see two powerhouses meeting on opening day. Kind of sets the tone for the rest of the season.
Newcomers Crystal Palace and Norwich also square off on opening day. This will also set the stage for next season, although you typically want to see how a new team will fare against an existing Premiership team.
In other, non Premiership news:
I got my paper done two days early! I had it outlined, and then I had my meeting with C and completely changed it around. I outlined again, then sat down to write it. I looked at the outline, looked at the 30 or so lines I already had (we had a line limit of 120 for this assignment) and decided it need further reworking. So, 4 hours later, I was finished at 116 lines. Its not due until Friday so I'll let it rest, and then see if it needs any more changes. I'm happy with it, though. I think it says what I need it to say, the way I need to say it. IRAC is a lot harder than I thought it would be, especially when someone (not mentioning any professorial names) is not the most adept at explaining what we're supposed to be doing. But, given the comments from my last paper (which wasn't that bad!) and what I've gleaned from the conferences and the notes, I think I'm on the right track. Of course, you all know what a perfectionist I am.
Okay, I'm off to do some work before the staff meeting. Getting here at 7 sure makes for a peaceful morning. I'm turning into a morning person.
