China Gymnastics Medal Stripped

I recently heard a story about a situation going on with the Olympics. Not just any Olympics, but the 2000 Olympics. 10 years ago. Anywho, the Olympic Investigators (lol) recently found out that a Chinese gymnast, who won a bronze medal in 2000, was underaged. Turns out she was only 14 when she won it! She was disqualified, and lost the medal. I, quite frankly, think this is absurd. I mean, she totally deserved the medal. This girl was my age when she won the medal! In fact, I think they should have swapped her for a gold medal, and given the original winner the bronze! I think this would have been a much more fitting solution. Tough break for her, though.

Gasp! Missed Game Show!

On my final sick day of the week, I failed to watch one of my favorite game shows, Jeopardy. I am proud to say that I would mass murder if I ever had the opportunity to participate in the show. I missed its 7:30 to 8:00 slot on Channel 36 due to reasons I cannot explain. I simply slipped, and zoned out, and I faced the consequences.

Eager for Some March Madness!

As I have probably already communicated, I am a big college basketball fan. I can't wait till tournament time, and I have been thinking of who my favorite is to run the table. At this point, I like Syracuse. How bout you? Place your thoughts, compliments, and/or criticisms in the comments section

Weekend Sickness

This weekend, I spent my time at church on a youth weekend. Fun, right? Quite frankly, No. About a quarter of the way through the trip, I began to feel very queasy. I later realized I had major stomach indigestion. This lasted through Sunday afternoon, when I began to think that I had outlasted the 24 hour bug. However, I soon began to realize that I had gotten rid of the stomach bug, but I had acquired a fever and a slight headache. Because of this, I have missed school for the past two days, mostly watching college basketball, the occasional game show, etc. This sickness came at a very non-opportune time, as well, because if I were to have felt this way, say, next week, I could instead watch a basic marathon of march madness. Unfortunately, I am sick now, so I guess I have made the best of it.

NCAA Women's Basketball: 7' Phenom Doles out Punches

In the normally quiet Women's College Basketball League, we finally came across a story not related to UConn last week! In a conference game versus Texas Tech, an overly emotional Brittney Griner slugged a Texas Tech player, taking her out of the game, and putting the rest of her season into jeopardy. Griner was already somewhat well-known because of her dunks, but this run-in just threw her into the national spotlight. Many people have called the K.O. "Uncalled for," and "Immoral." Her coach was not too pleased, either. However, I think it was a fairly good move. She realized she needed to do something radical to earn her sport and herself some attention, and she shot a bull's eye here, even if she did clean someone's clock in the process.

School

Well, I woke up and remembered it was Friday. My favorite weekday. It turned out to be a pretty good one too. In tech lab we got to finish a movie, and in P.E. we got to play basketball. Then came language arts, which was easily the worst class of the day. We had an SAT Vocab quiz, and then had a boatload of busy work since we had a sub. Then came GA Studies, which was cut short by our school's homecoming parade. The homecoming parade was enjoyable and it lasted all the way through Science, too, so all I had left today was math. It was easy, I hardly had to write anything all day. I am pumped about tonight's high school football games.

Tonight

I just ate some delicious Chicken Pot Pie. I have yet to decide which high school football game to attend tomorrow night, both of which have beneficial activities occurring after the game. It will not be an easy decision. The way I see it, this is not a bad problem to have. Tomorrow will be my first normal day in school this week, seeing as all the others were early release days. It should be extra terrible.
