I have found the reason!

Ladies and Gentleman, I have found the ultimate reason why being a 3rd shifter is so great. The reason, YOU GET TO WATCH THE OLYMPICS LIVE! haha yes yes, I am very much an olympics fan, so I love the fact that it is on, not only all night long, but since we have like a 13 hour time difference, it's all coming to us live. So, what did I watch yesterday? Well, we started off with men's vollyball, then we watched gymnastics, and swimming, then went to handball, field hockey, and soccer. It was a lot of fun! Go Team USA!!!

I like the fact that even though you root for your home country, there's nothing wrong with rooting for everyone else as well. Like, we were watching China and Japan doing gymnastics, and the one Japanese guy fell off the pommell horse and we were like "awwww." It doesn't matter what country they're from, you just want them all to do well, and not get hurt.

Now, i do have a complaint about how they are airing the thing. It seems to me that if you're not a streamliner like say Micheal Phelps is in swimming, you get like no credit whatsoever! Okay, so Phelps won the gold in the IM race, but another American got the bronze! Did he hardly get mentioned? just once it seemed in passing, and they didn't even interview him! They went straight to Phelps! Now, i think that's a little unfair. This guy did just as much as Phelps did, and he still brought a medal back home for our country, and I don't know what anyone else thinks, but winning a medal is a big deal. I would be kinda mad if I won a medal and I didn't get much recognition for it. Okay end rant.

In other Olympic news, one of the guys in the Sono class at my school is an Olympic hopefull in wrestling! He's a representative of his home country, which i just forgot the name off, but good luck to him! And also good luck to the rest of the athletes!

Well, I better get going so I'm not late for work again. lol. Have a great week everyone! take care!!!

End
