What a week!
Nothing too special happened in the end. I didn't win the lottery, i didn't go on holiday and i certainly didn't find a lucky quarter on the side-walk (sorry footpath) this morning. But, and this is a big but; England are in the World Cup Final, France aren't, Arizona is going fantastic, i beat my best mate on that stupid "Petrolhead" application and facebook and, oh yeah, im going to Peru for 2 weeks just after christmas!
Add to that - days of confusion, courtesy of pen pushers at Leicester Uni, over whether this year in arizona would actually count towards my degree and im sure you'll agree its been somewhat out of the norm.
So the big question at the moment is: Can Jonny Wilkinson win the world cup for England again? I'm not saying anything against the other players in the side, there all very good (especially Josh Lewsey who i thinks just been awesome) but Jonny is the best player in the world without a doubt. No-one else has such an effect on a game, no-one else can produce under such pressure, no-one else can win us the world cup again. Will we? Won't we? The count down begins! The challenge remains for me to survive without seeing the score until after the match when i can watch a re-run online! God help me!
I can't wait til the christmas vacation (sorry, holiday!) - doing abit of travelling and generally planning to have a really good time. Hence the flight i booked to Peru yesterday - 2 weeks of mountains, hiking, stunning scenery and all the usual backpackers perks.
And the salty myres bit - off to a place called Wilcox (between Tucson and Lordsburg in New Mexico) tomorrow. Its reportedly a wild-west sort of place in Cochise county, built on a massive salt plain in the middle of no-where. Should be interesting!
Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?
