Olympic Fever

Hey everyone. Did anyone else feel like reading week went by too fast?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Even though I had good intentions of buckling down and getting ahead on my homework things didn’t go as planned.  Yes, I did get some things done but not as many assignments were completed as hoped.

Anyone do anything interesting for reading week?  For the most part I stayed close to home but did get out with friends to ski at Holiday Mountain in La Riviere.  Sure, it was fun but it just doesn’t quite compare to being out at the real mountains in B.C. or Alberta.  I remember skiing down Lake Louise and the run taking 10 or more minutes to complete.  By the time you came to the bottom you were exhausted.

Aside from that, the Olympics had most of my attention.  So far I’ve watched all three of the men’s ice hockey games and am not convinced they are performing to their potential.  Yes, give credit to Switzerland but in my opinion the Canadians should not have let the game be decided in a shootout like that.  Can you imagine where they’d be now if they had lost to the Swiss and USA in this round-robin?  Oh well, let’s wish them a victory over Germany in the qualifiers and then against Russia in the quarters.

Does anyone else own a Playstation 3?  Ok, I have to confess to buying one over the past Christmas holidays.  Other than watching the Olympics I put a few hours on my gaming console.  I’ve played through and finished Unchartered 2 and now I’m playing BioShock.  The PS3 is really cool as it can play Blu-Ray movies, connect to the internet and play back games in high definition.  What’s your favorite game?

In a couple of weeks my brother is coming home to visit.  He has been in Thailand since last spring as he got a full time teaching job out in Bangkok.  My mom is also supposed to be coming to visit sometime in late April or early May.  She has been living in and working in Botswana, Africa for nearly two years now.

Enjoy the last week of the Olympics and Go Canada GO!
