Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

The Olympics are coming

Are you excited about the Olympics? I'm excited about the Olympics.

You can find an overview schedule of the events here. I'm especially excited that we'll be in Oregon for most of it because my parents have TV and a DVR. Watching the 2010 Winter Olympics relying solely on nbc.com videos was touchy and inconvenient and difficult. It will be so nice to watch whatever we want, whenever we want. (FYI, Mom and Dad: I'm planning on watching a lot of Olympics while we're at your house this summer.)

I think I'm most looking forward to gymnastics, swimming, and some track & field. I remember catching some random BMX races in 2008 that were pretty cool, too. Ah, the 2008 Olympics. I watched most of the coverage while sitting in an armchair in our quaint Middlebury living room holding a sleeping/nursing newborn Magdalena in my arms. How time flies.
