Winter Olympics

I have never been a huge fan of the Olympics. I would usually only watch the events that had people I knew of in them, like swimming. I know who Michael Phelps is and I know who Amanda Beard is, so I watched them during the summer Olympics. I don’t think I have ever really watched the winter Olympics. This year I decided to watch at least one event of each sport. So far they are more interesting than I thought they would be. Luge is actually pretty entertaining to watch and it seriously gets my heart racing because I fear one of them will crash, especially after the death of that one Luge person.
I also find some of the snowboarding to be really fun to watch. Figure skating can sometimes be enjoyable but it really depends on whose skating. The first day of figure skating the first couple up was a couple from China. They were married and have been extremely successful but they have never won an Olympic medal. I usually root for the USA because that’s where I am from but I was really rooting for these two to get the gold and I believe they did. Some of the stories of these people are so amazing and it makes me feel happy to see them succeed at something they have worked their whole lives towards.

Frustrated with School

I was just informed by my abnormal psych professor that this summer my school will not be offering classes for the first part of summer. The second part of summer will have a limited amount of classes available. There will only be 4 psychology classes offered but there are 18 classes for flag football. I think this is ridiculous. It seems like all the classes that people actually need are over looked by classes that only a select amount of students are interested in.
It’s hard enough to get the classes you want during the normal semesters, but now that they are cutting summer classes I doubt I will be able to get any of the classes I wanted. I am a football fan but I don’t see why they need 18 classes for it! They are also offering 26 music appreciation classes but only 8 math classes. My professor encouraged us all to go to the office of the school President and make complaints. They don’t listen to Professors so hopefully they will listen to the students since we are the ones taking the classes.
I also found out today that they are increasing the price of parking permits once again. I am not sure how much it’s going to be but last semester the cost was $20 and this semester was $25 so I am guessing it will be like $30. I think that schools need to get their acts together.
