so that was surreal

i used up too much bandwidth than UL likes, so my laptop has been banned from using the dorm's internet. they never said there was a limit to legal bandwidth use, and i'm pretty peeved. stupid streaming videos. hello from an internet cafe.

i spent all day at wimbledon yesterday. and i mean almost literally all day. i got up at 4am and didn't get back until 11pm. on the practice courts i got to see venus williams, safin, nadal and sharapova. also saw tommy haas beat some guy... turnsnov? then we made the great deal of turning in our grounds passes for some amazing centre court tickets for the ridiculous fee of 5 pounds each! we only got to see one match, but it was safin vs federer - pretty much as marquee as a match you could possibly see this early in the tournament. as much as i detest federer for being too good for his own... good; i couldn't help but be amazed at some of the shots he was making. chalk flying up and everything.

oddest thing was that the players have to take the same paths as the fans to get to the courts. we were just walking around and then martina hingis just walks right past us, three feet away. go figure.

it wasn't until my mom called after the federer/safin match that i learned about the attempted car bombings in london. so that has me a little on edge. scary stuff.

bye for now.
