the ...

high fever i had for a month...

from the whole chicago-west lafayette trip, the hell i went through, the shyt i encountered that i never thought it would happen on me in my life...i really learned a lot, walking in a place i've no clue AT ALL, i've heard much about chicago but i've never seen or even get close to it...it's like no words could ever describe that kind of feelings...it was just awesome....and yea, congrats me for losing weight from that trip, my pants were literally dropping down at THAT TIME! hahahahaha

then back to some normal lincoln life it came the WORLD CUP

for the first time in my life, i was so into soccer (football)

and world cup 2010 has pretty much keep me occupied for the whole month so that my summer wont be bored!!! :)

the fever actually started here! even the office door has a SCOREBOARD/TIMETABLE!!!!

and on the right is something interesting

which actually applies to all females and also BOSSES (especially ours) =D

and since the rules and regulations from above, rule number ONE said that "you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World of Soccer, and that way you will be able to join the conversations."

so...

FIFA

and

TV golo- for highlights...if i missed any matches i could watch the highlights from this library

these two sites kept me alive :)

during the whole world cup season, we spent our weekends at christophe's place, bars, restaurants etc...

argentina vs nigeria

it's a 9am match...so we had breakfast together :)

there's pancakes and syrup, baguette, brie, marmalade, orange juice, coffee...

my daily breakfast? cereals...

i wish world cup is forever! =))))

at times, we join the crowd...

USA vs england..

we went to the open spaced car park, with big tents and big tv's, and of course the big crowd..!!!

watching the americans play with the americans and cheering with the americans was indeed fun...

germany vs australia

this is the 130pm match...so baguette and brie with ham is lunch... =D

at times when there's crazy moments like waking up at 6am for 6am matches...

netherlands vs denmark

and then go to work at 830 since the boss knows i'm up for the match!

sighs...

but so far i've only watched 2 6am matches, the other one is of course portugal vs north korea...

and portugal trashed the hell out of north korea with 7 goals....

and obviously the small, angry portuguese was happy the whole day....

luckily it was a good game or else we would have killed him for waking up at 6am to accompany

him watch the match...

and of course there's also times when we came out from lab to watch at the bar

italy vs paraguay

after a week or so, 32 teams were down to half...

so england was trashed by germany 4-0

and we watched this at Dino's Eastside Grill for brunch...

the german was of course happy too...

and after a month,

when spain trashed netherlands 1-0...

we were at brewsky's which was the last stop we watched the world cup :)

till then...

next world cup 2014 at brazil!!!
