Amazing last two weeks! I spent A LOT of time in front of the TV watching anything that was on. I also made plenty of journals about the events, but made them private cause it would be old news to anyone who kept up with the Olympics. It has just been amazing, to watch everything even things I am not that interested in like athletics ans equestrian, and rediscovering sport I haven't watched in a while like volleyball, beach volleyball, kayaking and badminton. Still the biggest sports for me were: gymnastics, swimming, diving, and beach volleyball: I was excited for tennis but it as never broadcast so I just read the results.It's nice to watch it live in HD, the only thing better would be to be there but then there would be no playback in -motion, and close up shots.

Watching the Olympics kind of makes me wish I could actually participate in a sport. Cheering for my fave athletes is still so fun and satisfying though, and the performances were just inspiring.

Looking forward to the Closing Ceremonies, it'll be bittersweet.

So ecstatic, the Olympic Opening Ceremony is in 6 hours! I've been smiling all day, my parents asked me why and I just said OLYMPICS! Though it seems like I'm the only person whose excited for this, at least among the people I know. I also heard on the news that Canadians have a waning interest in the Olympics, which I think is a bit disappointing. I've watched as much of the Olympics Trials for Canada and the US that I could: the Canadians only showed swimming on TV. The Americans however broadcast: diving, athletics, gymnastics, and swimming, and some others I didn't catch. Just something I wish Canada was more involved in.

My excitement over the Olympics almost made me forget about my horrible experience at my diploma yesterday.

I just have one more thing to say: OLYMPICS!
