#!ROOM NO. 1)(

So far my room is coming together pretty well. Okay, I lived together in Canterbury for like ten months, but there I kind of had no choice as my parents didn't move to the UK with me. So here it's kind of more official as I'm really moving out, leaving my parents' place, replacing it for my own room even though I could easily stay with them. So when you think about it, this is the real deal. This is really my first place. This I will tell my kids, you know like, look that's where dad used to live when he was still 21 years young! I will take some new pictures, but below you can see some before there was a vinyl carpet floor, chairs, and a dinner table, 'cause that's the way it is right now. Apart from having my wonderful new room, I found out my dissertation was marked with a 7,5, which means I'm done! I'm a bachelor! I made it through afterall. Venus and Nadal both are the new Wimbledon champions. Nadal won, unfortunately, after a very VERY long match against the defending champion Roger Federer.





On music, listening to Air Traffic a lot and Yeasayer is still going strong, can't get enough of those guys. They're really great and I come to appreciate them more and more.

$#WIMBLEDON DEFEAT^&

So now Euro 2008 is over the spotlight can really focus on Winbledon. Already heading towards the quarter finals, especially in the women's singles a lot of favourites are out including its three top seats, Ivanovic, Sharapova, and Jankovic. I've always
been a supporter of the Williams sisters and I like come-backs (even though Venus won last year) so I would not mind seeing the two sisters going head to head in the final. Most people aren't fans though, but I think what makes the people who do support them interested is that family factor they always bring along. Apart from being sisters and both very succesful at what they do the rest of the family is always brought along such as father Richard and mother Oracene. We spectators don't know much about those two, besides our knowledge of them being divorced and Richard always taking a load of pictures, but there's something about them that just seems to spark an interest in people every time they show up.

With the men there aren't any big surprises other than someone like Đoković being sent home early on in the tournament. But the two guys who most likely will meet in the final are still playing. So as always it's fun to see some players like Safin win and go through to the next round, but you can already be like 99% sure it will all end up being about Federer and Nadal.
