We enjoyed watching the Olympics. However, out of the channels they were on here, we could only watch them in French, Dutch, German and Italian. You don't quite realize how much you rely on the commentators to understand stuff...until you can't understand them. Kyle and I took over the role of commentators for each other, but since we really don't know anything about most of the sports, we spent most of our time making things up. We know that a big splash is bad for diving, so we based the whole dive just on the size of the splash. What made me laugh the most was the confidence with which we would say, "Oh, well the reason the judge took off for that was because..." As if we have any clue about anything to do with pole vaults, high jumps, gymnastics or any other Olympic sport.
I am beyond sick of my fall/winter clothes. Although I have beefed up my cold weather wardrobe considerably since living here, I can't stand to see another one of my blazers, pants, or knee high boots. Last year we had a beautiful April, but after that it was cool throughout the summer then straight into fall and winter. This summer has had some nice days, but I still have probably only been able to wear shorts for a total of three weeks. The average temperature of August has been 64 degrees. Although I do enjoy the slightly cooler weather, it means that I have been wearing the same clothes for over twelve months straight -- and we are just about to start fall and winter! The good news is that I shouldn't feel guilty spending money on clothes since I definitely know I will get a lot of use out of them.
