Olympic Hopeful

What do grad students so the week before classes commence for the second of three years? Well, nothing that's not revolving around the Olympic television schedule, especially in the evenings. It's true here we sit three totally addicted Beiging 08 watchin' roommates each engrossed in their own tasks, but all in the living room sharing in the experience together. You know it's bad when we have favorite commercials not to mention the new ideas we have for training for the trampolene, table tennis, beach volleyball, etc competitions.
Ahhh...its that time of year again, "makes me want to go buy school supplies. if I knew your name and address I'd send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils. But this not knowing has it's charms..." - Joe Fox (You've Got Mail)
I do admitedly get uber happy over new school supplies. Sadly these days have nothing on the elementary shopping list. Let's face it, if I could still take a box full of crayons, erasers, #2 lead pencils, and colored pencils it would be so much more rewarding to pack the bookbag on the first day; I might even consider wearing my hair in pig tails, if that was possible.

Go for the modern pentathlon - Pistol, Fencing, Equestrian, Swimming, and a 3k XC race. Right up your alley.
