I'm here checking out the Women's World Cup, Liwei, my Chinese roommate by my side. I'm procrastinating to the full effect. Brazil looks strong. They absolutely destroyed the US in the semi-finals. They were quicker, faster, more motivated, more creative, and it just liked they were their to play. And they're doing the same against Germany.

I have 170 vocab to memorize, and i can't bring myself to start chipping away at it. Yet, when it comes down to it, I like having an incredibly intense schedule. I like working my ass off. Memorizing words, grammar structures, etc. I like the discipline or it all. But it takes a toll on you. It's a question temptation. The longer you persist the stronger the temptation becomes to stop until you hit a point when, all of sudden, it's second nature. Almost easy. And then it's not discipline any more. Then it's just laziness. I've hit the point where discipline becomes monotony and monotony has become given me the feeling of laziness and laziness has brought me dissatisfaction. But I still like it here. Just sometimes I wanna chill without planning ahead.

Anyway, it's halftime. 0-0. My money's on 巴西 (Brazil). Number 10, Marta, is simply spectacular. She tore apart the US. It looked like she hurt her ankle in the first half, but she's still running as fast as ever. My prediction: if Brazil doesn't score in the 1st three minutes of the 2nd half, expect a Brazil win in overtime off a Marta goal.
