Realistic Caution out the Window

Life can be very hard as an Arsenal fan. No trophies, top players leaving the club and joining rivals, losing to lower division opposition, you name it. In the midst of it all though, there is always the hope that one day it will all be better. A light at the end of a dark and dreary tunnel. Tonight is Champions League, a luxury that is  a current uncertainty as far as Arsenal is concerned, with 4th place in the EPL not currently secured. Thus, it is only understandable that I approach this coming match with more than a hint of caution. I don't want to get over hyped just to get sucker-punched by a Mandzukic header or a beautiful Ribery golazo. Caution and modesty is the way I planned to approach this game. This, however, is football, and there really is no room for being luke-warm. So screw that approach.
As the kick-off approaches I cannot help but being overcome with a feeling of positiveness  and a belief that the "impossible" can be done. Even though my brain is telling me that this is not going to end well, my heart holds on to the smallest of hopes. For once, my heart is absolutely right, this is football, this is Passion. There is no room for half-hearted support or pessimistic caution. Supporting my team all the way tonight, hope lots of you guys will be able to watch what will undoubtly be a great game. Up the Arsenal!

In other news, found another great mix I thought I'd share with my fellow Chillstep fans. Great for studying, relaxing etc.

Alright...

Solid H20

Things are looking up these days. That is mostly down to one thing and one thing only, it is getting warmer. It might very well just be a false alarm, it is after all just the beginning of February, but I like to think the worst is over now. It all happened quite fast though. In fact, just last week it had been around -10 to -15 degrees Celsius for a while. The lake outside my dorm was frozen, and during that extra cold week me and two of my friends ventured out on it. No chance of the ice breaking under us, the lake was frozen solid. One could probably have driven a car over it, had one been so inclined.

Evening ventures on the lake

This week though, it has been around 1-3 degrees Celsius, and the ice on the lake is wearing away slowly but surely. Not exactly the time to go out on it now, that's for sure.
In other news, I am now a owner of a tablet. Felt it was time to cash in on one, as it helps a lot in my studies. Imagine, instead of having to drag 15kg worth of medical books, I can just carry that tablet. This will make travelling A LOT easier. Plus, I guess it is the thing to have nowadays, and I shouldn't be left behind by the times. Took me quite a while to get that tablet though, but through some hassles it finally arrived. I think both me and the receptionist lady I had been constantly bugging were equally happy that my parcel had finally arrived.
