Well compared to the first subject they are unworthy .. anyways I've been meaning to write this blog for a while but I was way too lazy .. but after what just happened .. I HAD to blog ..

Tennis .. ever heard about that sport ? Y'know .. the one with the yellow rounded thingy being hit over the net .. well today was the final of the U.S. Open Grand Slam .. Roger Federer vs Del Potro .. The supposed legend vs The 20 year old underdog .. sorta like Master Chief vs. Bub N' Bob .. That match was nth short of EPIC !! I don't wanna spoil it for you if you're interested and don't want to learn the result but it was tennis at its finest with everything you'd expect from tie-breakers , an almost obvious result then an upset with a 5th deciding set .. heck there was even some drama naturally coming from Federer and challenging the umpire xD ..

Bottom Line : Spectacular final and you should watch it if you're into sports ..

With that out of the way it's time to write what I was supposed to write about .. in my last blog I wrote Almost There and said I'll tell ya when I reach it .. well I was talking about finishing my postponed exam .. Thursday was the written and Saturday were the oral and practical .. the oral and practical went just fine .. however , the written one not so much .. I fear I might fail the subject .. seriously !! God I hope not .. I need a miracle to pass so pray that the dude marking my paper goes blind or sth and gives me passing grades ..

Speaking of college related stuff , the year was supposed to start like late september but it got pushed back a week to 3 October because of the swine flu .. which is awesome !! (the push back not the flu xD) .. what might not be so awesome is that they say if the rate of infection goes up to 100 per day or sth like that , they will close all skools and convert to e-learning or some other stupid idea .. that would be a disaster ..they'd be better off cancelling the whole year .. I wouldn't mind that .. just means a whole year to simply sit at home and enjoy the next probably most awesome year of gaming haha ..

Anyways , let's leave my very likely imminent failure and skool cancellation behind us .. onto the final subject .. ATG .. Dammit , Sonic still lost to Bub N' Bob &^%$# .. I didn't care when it was Master Chief but not a c lassic like Sonic !! .. Thankfully tho , Cloud managed to pull ahead of Li'l Mac .. also Duke Nukem beat Leon and Pac Man beat Dante .. both of those matches are kinda ok by me since I love all four characters but the two who won were c lassiccs so I'm not bitter ..

Next round however there'll be some crazy stuff going on .. Cloud vs Kratos !!!! .. Stupid B N' B vs Samus Aran .. I wonder how everything will turn out .. Until then ...

I am surprised about the U.S open final as I thought Federer would win,but congrats to Del Potro.When I saw Del Potro playing a while ago,I thought he would eventually win a grand slam.

Cloud vs Kratos will be very interesting.FFVII and GoW have many diehard fans and they wouldn't want to see their main character lose.

@ZanarkandTidus - I was totally rooting for Del Potro .. I'm a RaFa person so Feddy is my arch enemy xD ( tbh it started with my friend ranting endlessly about how awesome feddy is , that I decided I'm gonna be a RaFa fan just to spite him haha ) .. but rly , Del Potro totally deserved the win with the way he was playing this match ..

as for Kratos and Cloud .. what's even more interesting is that there will be no fanboyism invloved since both are Sony icons .. however Cloud might lose because I think there are more FF and Cloud haters ..

I saw the final on tv. I'm not really into tennis, but my Mum is. She actually doesn't like either of them, but I think she was slightly favouring Federer.

@barkera0 - Well , it was an awesome match regardless of you favored (tho not that great if you're a die hard Federer fan xD) .. the excitement and the tension was great ..

@LordKingboat - Exactly !! Neither do I !! and that's saying sth because I've been playing since I was 2 years old from the days of the atari and Nintendo Entertainment System ..
