a bout of patriotism
I just realised how long ago it was that I actually wrote something on this thing. Reason: I’ve been having a spell of popularity!! Seems as though everyone want a piece of me, be it for birthday parties or just general piss-ups; my phone has been ringing constantly with people trying to convince me to come to socials, join the rifle society, get drunk at a 21st birthday party, etc and it simply leaves me no time to write on my favourite blog.
I have also been very patriotic (for once) while watching the Winter Olympics. I believe that my housemates are getting quite annoyed at my native country’s recent success, having ranked up a massive 13 medals of 6 golds, 2 silvers and 5 bronzes (with another gold up for grabs tomorrow in the men’s icehockey final against arch-rivals Finland…soooo exciting!!!) compared to England’s 1 silver. Even Australia has outdone England with a gold and a bronze so far.
So anyway, tomorrow I’ll bunk myself up in front of the TV because (apparently) they’re showing Sweden vs Finland in ice hockey at 12.50. As I said, it’s very exciting!!! Two neighbouring countries battling it out…can’t wait!!!!

patriotism about sport, it's a funny thing. i wouldn't have called myself particularly patroitic, particularly since coming here and meeting lots of people from different countries, it seems to me there are many things wrong with England. However i found myself having diner in varsity the other night while the football was on (England vs. some country beginning with urg i think :os), and i found myself literally cheering England on, and being genuinly thrilled when we won. lol it was so strange, i think sport is incredibaly uniting like that. congrats at ur homeland success xx
