I don't know why, but for some reason the prospect of Michelle at U.S. Nationals totally rocks my socks. I don't really care so much about the Olympics.
I checked out the schedule. If Michelle enters the Fletcher School in the spring semester, going for the Masters in International Law and Dipolomacy cirriculum, classes start on January 21 (a Thursday).
This is the same day as the ladies short program in Spokane. The ladies long is on Saturday, January 23. Michelle could skip the Gala and be at Tufts bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Monday, January 25.
That way she can grab her tenth U.S. championship and only miss one day of classes. They don't do anything on the first day anyway except hand ou t the syllabus. Which, that's available on line anyway.
