injury time
soccer is weird. the game clock counts up instead of down. when it reaches 45:00 (the length of a half) or 90:00, the game usually goes on for a bit in what is called "injury time." you see, only the ref knows how long the game has actually taken because sometimes he has to stop his watch (like if a player flops and rolls around on the ground for a while). therefore, the audience is in the dark whenever injury time begins. maybe it'll last 30 seconds. maybe it'll last 3 minutes.
i feel like i'm living in injury time. i know that the end of this long island experience is right around the corner, but i'm not sure when i'll get to put all of this behind me for good.
i wish the ref would let me peak at his watch.
