Other than the usual volunteering on Saturday morning I have been watching the Olympics ALL WEEKEND! Yes, as usual, my life revolves around exciting international competitions. And, the best way to watch sports is to do it in my pj's. I have to go out for dinner today and therefore get dressed in actual clothes, but hopefully they'll have the Olympics on during the meal. It will be a very long 2 weeks but I'm looking forward to it. I am off the second week and will actually be going to curling. Yay! Unfortunately I couldn't afford more games but at least I'll get to experience what it's like for one day. It may however take half the day to get to the event and back thanks to all the bloody tourists, street closures, etc. No offense to the Olympic visitors.
Olympic highlights so far:
Ashley MacIsaac was a tapping and fiddling fiend during the opening ceremonies, Anne Murray was one of the flag bearers, and Steve Nash was one of the torch bearers.
Jennifer Heil got a silver medal - I know she wanted Gold but she did have a great run and got Canada on the board.
The Canadian women's hockey team dominated their game against Slovakia with a record setting 18 goals. The Slovakian goalie blocked 49 other shots.
The Canadian women's speed skating relay team qualified for the next round.
Charles Hamelin qualified for the next round of the 1000m on Wednesday. Oh, and I think I have a bit of a crush on Oliver Jean...but don't tell anyone.
More to come.
