One of those days........
When they said life wasn't fair, you better believe it. I got my ass whipped nicely while bowling in the league. It ALL started to go wrong when I went early to check out my lovely 25 pin handicap. Calculated by some Sonias last week. I knees almost gave in when I saw a single digit there. Small consolation that it was closer to 10 than 1. 8 pins handicap ONLY! SCREWED! Plan FAILED! Then things took a turn for the worse, I was made to be the anchor bowler. Last bowler to bowl, the pressure position, my least comfortable position. I hate playing catch-up. I had the highest average in the team today from the previous rounds. BIG time SIGH!
My opponent today was a Phr3aking lucky sumbitch! This malay dude, no personal equipment, nothing! Uses a 10 pound house ball and just aims for the head pin. With all of Allah's goodness shining down on him, he had more strikes then splits. I only managed to beat him in the 1st game where I scored 171. 2nd game was a foregone conclusion with a measly 149. My lame excuse would be the changing lane conditions. The 3rd game was a thriller. I was leading and we were even till the 7th frame. Then Allah's gentle breath would blow the last wobbling pin down for him but not for me. I consequently missed the spare due to a poor mental state of mind. He finished with 225 but I overcame a smaller amount of pressure to get 195 and win the series score for the team by 7 pins. Goddammit!
In other news, exams results are out. 1 distinction and 1 credit ended my anxious wait. My heartfelt thanks goes out to all those who screwed up International Trade so much more then me which helped push me into the next grade bracket. I'd also like to thank those that helped push me into the distinction bracket for Information systems. I'd like to congratulate myself for overcoming biased tutorial results, a shitty project and a even more shitty class test. Keep in mind that despite my final paper heroics, I still couldn't have done it without you peeps.
