My first day of my last year in high school starts tomorrow. I’m determined to make it a good year.

Also, the Olympics closing ceremony was amazing. Not quite as jaw-dropping as the opening ceremony, but awesome nonetheless. Plus there were people dressed up as the official mascots; the panda is incredibly adorable. *__*

Sadly, I didn’t get to watch as much of the Olympics as I wanted to because I was trying to cram in the rest of my summer homework. :P I especially wanted to watch the discus throwing, but apparently the “field” element of “track and field” doesn’t get that much screen time, so I pretty much missed all of it — except for this commercial for General Electric.

On a random note, Coca-Cola had the best commercial ever, although I only saw it in its entirety once.

Nothing particularly prosperous happened today, except my sisters and I met our old preschool teacher when we went out to eat lunch. She remembered all of us, but she only recalled my older sister’s name. (I blame my parents for giving us obscure names — and they’re not even “cool” obscure names; they’re just obscure.)

She was a lot shorter than I remembered, which makes sense because I’m guessing I last saw her when I was five or six. And I’ve definitely grown several feet since then. She smiled a lot more, too, but that’s because she used to be the “mean teacher.” It was nice to see that even though she didn’t baby us while we were kids, she still cared about us. I wouldn’t have understood that when I was little.
