FINA World Swimmming Championships 2007









waterpolo at it's best. it couldn't get any better today at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) as it is known in short. Spain vs Serbia for the Bronze and Croatia vs Hungary, all the big names in waterpolo. Serbia the pre-tournament favourite and world no.1 ranked team narrowly lost out to Spain in a long and ardous penalty shootout, whilst perenial waterpolo powerhouse lost to the current olympic champions in the Gold medal match. I must say the 78AUD was quite well spent. It will be some time again before I will get to catch waterpolo at a world class level.

you wouldn't believe how humongous those guys are. think of WWF wrestlers in bathing suits, slamming balls into the goal post at 75-80km/h. that is absolute power and agility.

other than this, the weekend did not prove fruitful in the academic department. once again got distracted by TV shows, and the ongoing swimming championships. Australia's performance has been rather dismal, the men in particular. Hackett failed to shine in his pet events and was dethroned as the king of long distance. Thorpe, who's absence I guess made a huge impression on the overall morale of the team. The women however were outstanding to say the least. USA, was just brilliant and Michael Phelps incredible.

Exams are in 2 weeks, and there is so much to cover, together with these bullshit assignments that we have to do.Easter holiday is just around the corner.looking forward to some golfing during that week, but it would mostly be spent preparing for the mid semester exams.

Behavioural Change Project. Time Mgmt vs Exercise. which should I focus on?? I reckon the one on exercise and weight loss will be a fair bit easier for me to write on and actually put detail into it.Having said that, time mgmt is something that I should be focusing on, seeing the amount of work inundating us this year. BOLLOCKS!!!!
