Nadal won :] 8

Nuff said :]

So, Nadal won. At the end of the day, whoever won would’ve deserved it. Towards the end, the momentum moved from Nadal to Federer, back to Nadal, and so on. It was unpredictable as to who would win. However, I feel, the best player won. Nadal’s play in the first two sets was unbelievable. If it wasn’t for the rain break, I reckon Nadal could’ve clinched a straight sets victory. The break was more in Federer’s favour than Nadal’s. However, both are awesome players, and Nadal has beaten arguably the best tennis player ever on his preferred surface. I think last night was just an inkling of how Nadal may do in the future. Eagerly awaiting more tennis now! US Open next!

Today, we had an assembly at school where our head of Sixth Form told us to find out our predicted grades. I asked my maths teacher today, and he said mine was an A. Which is good. I need predicted grades of A; especially if I want to do medicine! Just need to find out biology and chemistry now; which should be As also. Don’t need to worry about RS as I’m dropping that subject! Fingers crossed I get these As at AS Level, which sets a good foundation for my A Level grades!

In today’s RS lesson, we carried on about Hard Determinism and Libertarianism. I love these Ethic-sy lessons as it gives room for debate. And I love debating. Hell yes. The debate about whether we’re pre-determined in our lives and what we do (therefore giving us no control or responsibility) or the belief that we are all free agents with the free will being the cause of everything. Not to mention Soft Determinism which we only just touched on today. All interesting things to learn about. And if I could, I’d carry on with only Ethics and not Philosophy, as Philosophy (as much as I like learning about it), my teacher does not do a great deal enough to make it interesting for us students. I think we all have free will to an extent, but are determined to another extent. So in other words, I’m kinda like a soft determinist. I think we have free will, otherwise we wouldn’t feel remorse after doing a guilty action, and we also wouldn’t have a conscience (as we have no moral self in Hard Determinism) if we were purely all determined. An interesting debate to say the least.

I don’t agree with Hard Determinism as they only believe in necessary truths; which if that were the case, then us humans would never ever be wrong. But we are. Therefore, there must be contigent truths in existance also. However, with libertarianism, I feel that we can’t always make a decision based purely on free will; because if we did, nothing would influence us at all. Not even our parents. And more often than not, parents are the major influence of what we do, how we do things, and not least, our morals.

A Satisfying Wednesday Night! 0

Currently Reading: Still: The Other Woman’s Shoes by Adele Parks
Currently listening to: Boy Kill Boy - Ivy Parker
Today’s mood: Dizzy as hell

The best Wednesday ever? Probably. In terms of satisfaction that is. After all, Wednesday are pretty crappy days to say the least. Nadal beat Murray in straight sets. And at the end, oh how I wanted Nadal to show his guns off and flex his muscles; like Murray did after the Gasquet match. Nadal, ever the polite sportsman, did not. Nadal totally outplayed Murray. And also totally out-muscled him too. What was it Murray showed off again, after the match against Gasquet? Nuff said.

After the French Open, I said that I thought Nadal had a 90% chance of winning Wimbledon this year, and I stand by that. I never recorded this though, dammit, though I promise I did say it!!

Anyway, I’m off school today. I feel ridiculously dizzy again. I’ve had to weaned off my medication, and I’m feeling the full force of the effects now, like the doctor said I would, after being on ear suppresants for the past few months. And my goodness, am I feeling dizzy.

I got a request from Laith and I will start on that tomorrow night probably. I’m just feeling too dizzy to do anything that requires creativity! So yeah. Also, Woman’s Semis on now, so well, gotta go and watch that, after all, my fellow countrywoman, Jie Zheng got through! Though, admittedly, she stands a very, very minute chance against whoever Williams she plays today.
