I graduate university in 2012. I enter the real world. Yes, I am of course "excited" about this event – after 4 years of hard work and fun it will be a relief and a joy to graduate. But, 2012 also means the Olympics and honestly, out of any other sporting event, I get most excited about the Olympics (both seasons!).
Surely a bit of a cliché you may say. However, there is something about all the nations of the world (more or less) competing in a wide array of sports that we probably won't watch until again for another 4 years. I can remember watching the Olympics on TV when I was little – sitting on the floor of our living room watching the Sydney opening ceremony and that odd full body suit. I can remember Salt Lake City and bobsleds and slalom runs! You would expect being from a hot country I would have no interest in the Winter Games but I suppose we did once have a bobsled team!
Now with 2012 on our doorstep I genuinely can't wait!
Not too mental about dissertation though :S
