the small joys in life

one year ago i was starting my life in verona, italy. is it even possible that a year has gone by already? thankfully i got to see most of my italy friends last week and it was wonderful catching up and reminiscing on verona and europe. going on this trip was, hands down, one of the best decisions i have ever made. i hope the vivid memories that still run through my mind stick forever... but i also hope that i'll soon return to verona and europe to make more memories and see more incredible things...

its Olympic time, if you didn't know already... as it may be a surprise to some, but not to many, i have gotten really into the spirit of it this year. i love watching the winter games but i also love hearing about the athletes and their stories. its incredible that these people prepare their entire lives, practically, for one (sometimes more than one) chance at a medal. it makes me wonder if i have that kind of dedication in me... but, i'm pretty sure if there was a medal for ballet, and i was one of the best, i'd work my butt of for a chance at it. i really got into the ice dancing last night...i didn't like it at first, but once i watched the canadian pair, tessa and scott, i was hooked. their performance was incredible and they definitely deserved the gold. its good to have bob costas back on screen giving us the important information from the games too. and as the games are coming to an end, i am looking forward to the women's figure skating finals on thursday night. the korean skater is the favorite, so im interested to see her free skate...

in other news, i recently found out that vanderbilt did not hire me for the assistant football coach position. yes, i did apply for the job, since you're wondering. i would like to just say that i felt semi-qualified and felt that i could only help the team and school. obviously i would have kept my loyalty to georgia but i want to get some experience in the SEC so i can coach for georgia one day.

well since ron burgundy said "stay classy" first, i must come up with my own sign off...
...this has now been added to my To Do list...

much love my dear friends,

your friend who wants a gold medal.
