REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.

A. Are you watching the Olympics? Why or Why not?

Yes I am watching the Olympics. I love the Olympics! I watch them because i think the things that they do are amazing . What they do is so difficult and they make it look so easy. It also gets me pumped up for spring break because I am going skiing.

If you have been watching them, what has been the highlight so far?

The highlight so far has been the women's snowboarding half pipe. The U.S. got two medals. Farrington got gold and i think Kelly Clark who won gold in 2002 got bronze. 

If you have not been watching them, what have you been doing instead?

Have you ever aspired to be an Olympian? What about in other areas? Have you ever dreamed of some sort of participating in some sort of big event like the Olympics, or Running with the Bulls in Spain, or something like that? If you have tell me about it.

 I haven't aspired to be an Olympian until now. Since I have been watching the Winter Olympics this year it makes me really to be able to do the stuff they do. My favorite is snowboarding. I have never been snowboarding but it looks so fun! I also have heard that its a lot harder then skiing and takes a while to get the hang of it. Since we don't get any snow here in Austin and there is no where to snowboard it is on my bucket list to do someday.
