I love all the 5 top teams, I want them all to be on the podium

OMG!!! For the first time I'llbe able to see the Olympics live because my cable company finally got nbc... I'm so happy I'll get to see shen and zhao! I have several days off from work because of the carnival, so I'll be able to watch the Olympic events this week, so great.

Back on topic, I'm excited that Shen and zhao are skating first, a bit nervous because I want them to do well, but from the reports they seem to feel happy and ready. Hope we get to see a great competition!

Kinda bummed that I'm working during the SP but thank goodness it's dead tomorrow at where I work and I can watch it from my boss' office. All I care about is S/Z and the final 2 flights.
