this is it.



edit:(<3:$, thankyoooo)
When you are living a very hectic academic week which is also the week right before reading week, you can't afford being lazy or tired. After being on campus for over 25 hours in the last two days, my mind is toast.You commute for two hours. You come home, you say salam to everyone, you dump your bag and books down and you run to change out of layers and layers of clothes you wear to stay warm. You eat, you take a painkiller, you wash your face with cold water and settle down onto your laptop. You pull up the Bio Primary Papers and print it off. You read, you highlight, you type notes. You 'try' to understand. You then do your lab which is bound to keep you up for the night(again). You hate your computer now, it gives you a headache.So you take a break, minimise your word documents, close excel and you rest. You lose all the fatigue when you see the man, GlennMcgrath on your computer background. You smile now. You are happy(er). You wish for the most badass world cup ever, you day dream about hatricks, centuries, boundaries and larger than large sixers. You can feel the crowd and the adrenaline. Thats the sport. He is the sport.

You look back to being twelve and watching him on the screen for the first ever time. You liked his hair back then. You didn't understand the sport but you watched, quietly. You didn't know you would live to love cricket for the next seven years and more. He inspired you to watch and even want to play cricket. Alas, if you had a brother, he probably would have taught you but Sarah and I are fans nevertheless and will remain. All because of this one man! He will retire this year though, no more ODIs with him. Test cricket will always miss him. We will always miss him. He will always be the man we always prayed for even if he could make or break our very own home team. He is a star, a superstar=).

One more day and this week is over!and 25 days till greatness!=D
