When the flame fades, tears come to my eyes. I have always been an Olympic addict. This year, after missing a few of the games, I was re-ignited myself with the love of the games. I do not know why I am touched so much by the Olympic Spirit. Could be the underdogs and the comebacks, or it could be the grace and excellence of the athletes. It just gets me.
I don't know what I will do with myself now. I guess I will have to read or something.
The closing ceremonies were amazing. The Chinese have surely done a fabulous job of hosting the games. I hope you all were able to watch tonight.
Not much else here. I cannot believe I will get to school again tomorrow and it will be week two. Time is already flying. Only 175 days left! But who is counting! :)
