Yes! It's already past mid June. And I am ending my job assignment soon. I can't wait for that day. Other than being not so happy with the job, I am just too preoccupied with what is required to be done before my freshman year is to commence in August. Hmm...seriously, the checklist given by the university can be real complicated, not absolutely helpful. Even Lijuan agreed with me when I asked her over the phone. So, the question is...why? Why is that so? I guess the university should really look into this issue seriously.

Anyway, the first knockout match of this season's UEFA European Football Championship, or commonly referred as UEFA Euro 2008, is about to take place later today (based on Central European Summer Time) in Basel, Switzerland. And it will be the favourites, Portugal, against the potential underdogs, Germany. Well, to me, both teams are relatively good for some or any reasons. But, what caught my attention here is Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger. Bavaria born and bred, Bastian Schweinsteiger has been a FC Bayern München stalwart for the past six years and a regular German international for the past four years since the introduction as a teenager at UEFA Euro 2004. After being sent off in the group match against Croatia, he is now back in action for the German team. Moreover, he is going to make his first start at this UEFA Euro tournament later. Haha...based on Schweinsteiger's right midfielder role & talent, I guess we can expect a more creative German team later against Luiz Felipe Scolari's side. And of course, this will add on to why Germany is labelled as the underdogs for the UEFA Euro 2008 season.



Okay, that's all I want to say for this moment. And hopefully, I could stay up later to watch this well-anticipated match. Go go, Portugal and Germany! Show me a well-fought soccer match!
