Thoroughly Distracted By Sports Back Home

Posted 15th June 2008 at 01:12 by Matthew
I've been useless today. Yes, it's Saturday, but I've got a stack of work I must do. Or rather, must have done. But none of it GOT done. And I've been this way all week. The main reason: The Boston Celtics, my basketball team, are in the Finals. Nothing else really matters. And I've been online all day just reading up on every detail, watch clips of every interview and highlights of every important play. Now I'm downloading the last game because I fell asleep before the FUCKS at UBC got the replay on at 1am.

It should be over soon, and I can get back to all the TEFL Hack goodness I've been ignoring. It's bad though, I'm feeling backed up with grading. This would all be fine if I wasn't working at an EP teaching Literature and giving them lots of writing assignments and vocab quizzes all the time...things that need to be systematically graded. This takes time.

Time that is all being sucked up into the wonderful world of Celtics basketball. And until they raise that big ol' trophy, it will all continue to disappear into that void. I just don't have the willpower to stop it.

This is bigger than the Red Sox breaking the curse, or the Pats perfect season. And certainly this week's short story. Oh well. I tried.
