SNOW DAY... WAHOOO!!!!

So in about 1.5 years of being at Guelph... this is our first snow day. With the Olympics, on it just makes it for an all good time at the home with the T.V. on and hot chocolate in my hands (well in a mug in my hands... cause that would burn). It's a little upsetting that I got up at 5 am with nothing to read, went back to bed and woke up at 7 had a shower... and then dad calls me and tells me that there is no school. I coudl have slept in fora very long time, but I guess not eh?

So the Olympics. We aren't doing too bad this year, but I'm most upset right now about snowboard cross! Snowboard Cross the new olympic snowboarding sport had Seth Wescott (USA) winning the gold. That was supposed to be Canada "remaking History," like how CBC put it! But after Drew Neilson fell down in the first heat of the 1/8 Finals and came in 3rd in his heat (not qualifying for quarterfinals) and then Francois Boivin make it to the quarter finals and then coming in 3rd, so he couldn't get into the semis and then the biggest upset, the last Canadian on the Snowboard cross who made it to Semi finals Jasey Jay Anderson getting DQ'd for apparently intentionally pushing another competitor.... Argh it's annoying!

After winning against Germany 10-5, Brad Gushue and our Canadian team messed up, on a fairly easy shot, the game we played in curling against Sweden, losing 8-7. But since then, he has picked up those pieces and won 9-5 and 7-5 against Great Britain and Switzerland, respectively. As of right now though we are tied 5-5 against Norway on the 10th end. Hopefully we'll win it.

In hockey, are women are winning it all so far with our first game against Italy, 16-0, then against Russia, 12-0, and then against Sweden, 8-1. Tomorrow is our next game at 9:05pm (turin time) against Finland. Our Men's hockey team have only played one game so far and we won that 7-2 against Italy. Later today, is their next game against Germany.

Right now we have 4 medals. Our big gold winner right now is Jennifer Heil. If you saw it... I must say it was amazing. She was 1st in the qualification round, which meant she got to go last in the finals... and boy did she blow it out of this world. I liked the fact that she just kept it to the basics and didn't try anything too crazy. She worked on getting those easier tricks perfect and she did it... our first gold on the first day of the olympic games! We also have 1 silver from Cross-Country Skiing Ladies' Team sprint with Beckie Scott and Sara Renner, which was very pleasing. Our two bronzes went to Cindy Klassen for Speed Skating Ladies' 3000 m and to Anouk Leblanc-Boucher for Short Track Speed Skating Ladies' 500 m. And that's the update for now...

... I can't wait for the hockey game this afternoon and for another new olympic game, the Speed Skating Mens' and Ladies' Team Pursuit, I hope we win those. We did pretty good with Canada's Ladies' getting the Olympic record and with our Mens' with the World Record... so yeh... I'm audi! have a great day y'all and I'll see you soon! Home tomorrow night for a week of Spring Break... wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNOW DAY!!!
