Olympics!!!

Does anyone know what happens in two days!?
While, of course you, it's the name of my blog post, duh.

I LOVE the Olympics. It is during the Olympics in which sports that you had no prior interest in suddenly become EXTREMELY fascinating.
Last Olympics inspired conversations such as this:
"You look tired."
"I am tired, I didn't go to bed until 5:00 in the morning."
"Why did you stay up until 5:00 in the morning!?"
"Men's speed-walking was on, and I couldn't miss it."

However, this year's Olympics (Winter, obviously), are being held in Vancouver, Canada. This time zone is much closer to ours than Beijing, China, where the last Olympics were held. This means a better sleep schedule. Well, Perhaps. While this may sound great, there is still an issue. Since the Olympics are during the day, it will be hard to find time to do anything else. Instead of conversations such as the previous one I imagine this Olympics will inspire conversations such as this:
"You look tired."
"I am tired, I didn't go to bed until 5:00 in the morning."
"Why did you stay up until 5:00 in the morning!?"
"I was doing homework and addressing wedding invitations."
"Why didn't you do that earlier in the day?"
"Women's speed-skating was on, and I couldn't miss it."

I hope you all enjoy the Olympics as much I as do. Happy watching.

Why can't you address invites while you are watching?

Don't you wish they would cancel school and work during the Olympics? When they were in SLC I was working for WSU and we were out the entire three weeks of the Olympics, so I didn't have to work or go to school. I was able to watch everything and stay up late and it didn't matter.

Sigh. I have to go to work and miss tons of stuff this time.
