Croatia Pride

Zdravo! Hello! I feel like I would remember more of the Croatian that I'm trying to learn if I used it more. But I don't blog in simple sentences, so I won't be writing entries in Croatian or anything. That would be pretty sweet though. If I could speak Croatian properly, like roll my r's and actually say č and ć differently and correctly, it would be sweet. Then I could go pick up some girls in Croatia...wait I mean guys too. It's just that most countries are known for their beautiful women and not their beautiful men. Girls, we need to write some "travel brouchures". Ahem.

I am happy that Croatia won their friendly against Norway 2-1. Niko played the full 90, supposedly. The livestream I was trying to watch basically died, so I saw little of the match. The team wore T-shirts with Ivan's name on it, probably wishing him well. Ivan Klasnic, a Croatian soccer player, is in need of a kidney transplant. Good luck to him!

The U.S. won their "friendly" as well yesterday. I watched the game live. Jonny B played well, though Convey and Deuce looked pretty rough. Those two need some more match play.

Sorry for the random diversion. I have also been listening to a bunch of songs by Vesna Pisarović. She's basically a pop singer that also sings dance music (because they all seem to in Croatia). I realized that my music taste is really softening up. I used to dislike stuff like this...well more like favor "harder" music (like Creed or Fuel). Now I'm not mainstream or anything, but stuff like Snow Patrol and Switchfoot are sort of lightweight in terms of rock, and those two are the English-speaking bands that I may listen to when I'm not listening to foreign stuff.

Damnit, I should have not taken German 102 pass/fail. I have like an A+ in that class. Oh well, I don't really need a GPA booster in a subject that isn't my major. I don't think those grad schools would care. Meanwhile I really need to do those assignments for Biochem. Bah.

Well, if you are still reading, that's pretty sweet. Hvala! Do viđenja!
