My new hero of the Bejing Games is Nastia Liukin, who is now the Olympic Champion of All-Around Women's Gymnastics. I was in awe at the performance Nastia had last night. AMAZING. I was also so touched as she got emotional as The National Anthem played while she was awarded the Gold Medal! The Olympics seriously contain an awesome spirit. I was also very excited that the Chinese were unable to sweep gymnastic gold medals! I am not biased or anything; GO USA! My life has pretty much been consumed by The Olympics lately. I keep thinking I don't really have much to write because I spend about 5 hours a day in front of my TV!
Well, off to finish some things to present at a meeting later today! Thrilling!
Here is where I got the pics: http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/artisticgymnastics/n214544366.shtml
Last night was my first softball game since getting back. I like my team. We played really well but were unable to maintain the lead! Funny thing is that I really don't even know what the score was because I just didn't care last night. I just love playing. I like that, as I get older, the more it is just about playing and less about winning.
It is the Friday before the first week of school. You think I would be more nervous. I am not. I just want to get started so we can be done with this whole transition thing. I am just ready to be off and going! :) It was nice to see students at registration. It seems to make things real and manageable!
