Can't Sleep

Well, as expected, I can't sleep. Orientation for vet school starts tomorrow and I'm excited about meeting my future classmates to be for the first time. Of course, I already know one of them. And I'm actually going to pick her and her boyfriend Dan up tomorrow for the orientation because they are on my way and right next to the school. She didn't buy a parking pass since she lives so close, she's going to try and walk/bike when she can. We had lunch the other day actually, at this awesome pizza joint called Gumby's. The great thing about that place is that the earliest time they close is at 2 am on Sundays. On the weekends they close at 3:30 am! That's going to be the closest thing to Denny's that I'm going to get around here. Anyway. Her boyfriend is going to be attending an 'orientation for families' thing that the SOKS (Significant Others of Kansas State club) is hosting. Michael is actually going to the orientation too. Except he'll be coming a little late because tomorrow is his last free day before he starts officially working in Kansas and he needs it to get an oil change and register his car.

Mike actually fell asleep tonight at 9 pm! He's tired from all the driving he did the other day. I wasn't sleepy at all of course, so I watched the Olympics... and I'm trying to go to sleep... but alas, sleep will not come even to these tired eyes.

The Olympics this year has been great to watch. Actually, I shouldn't say that as I don't really remember watching any prior Olympics as much as I'm doing this year. It's definitely the year of Michael Phelps that's for sure. I'm not that big on swimming, but I was definitely thrilled when Park Tae Hwan won a gold medal for the men's 400m. I think the event that I had the most fun watching was gymnastics. Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson are without a doubt, amazing and wonderful to watch. I was so happy that Nastia won the Gold for the all around.. and I was really really rooting for Shawn Johnson in the individual Gold on floor exercise... but she was beaten by the very last performer. =P I just really wanted her to have that Gold medal since she got silver in the all around. Not that that's bad... I just wanted her to have her glory you know? But I mean.. it is the Olympics... it's the best of the best competing... and it's going to be close.


Look how cute Shawn Johnson is. She's awesome!! YAY USA!


Look at this girl!! I can't even believe how small she really is... and how she's able to gain so much height.


Look at her look. So fierce.

Those girls were awesome... their strength in gymnastics gave USA the chance to medal in the team finals as well. Of course I wish they won silver, but bronze is definitely something to be happy with!

We get our tablets tomorrow during orientation as well. That's going to be fun getting to know! I'm finally going to have my own laptop. =) That's something to look forward to.

Tomorrow is a day that has been a long time awaited by me. I'm excited that it's finally here... but since I'm excited, I can't really sleep! Oy. But I'm going to try again... and that time is right now... Good night.
