Day 18- A Monday, which means early class for me. I have to admit, that I have LOVED this experience, both as a Professor and as a Traveler. But I will admit, it is a little weird to transition between the two roles. So class this morning was as hard for me as it was for the students.
Today, we wrapped up my sections (History of the Games, Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, Gender and Minority Issues, and Drug Doping- and as you remember Megan did a fabulous class on the Technology of the Games.) From this point forward, students will be delivery presentations on the sport of their choice (a large portion of their grade). The first presentation today was on Diving and the student did an AMAZING job. The bar is definitely set high.
The afternoon was spent in preparation mode. Picking up tickets, and preparing for our small people to arrive (Kate, Kat and Vic arrive on the 24th for their Olympic Experience).
Then . . .
24th - The Torch Relay
25th - the FIRST official Olympic Event - Women's Football (Great Britain vs New Zealand). Thanks to the tenacity and resourcefulness of Megan we are able to take the entire class.
26th - Harry Potter Movie Experience
27th - Opening Ceremony
28th - Touring Parliament
and on with our tickets to Gymnastics, Tennis, Diving, Basketball (just Megan), and Beach Volleyball. In the mean time we will show the girls London- London Zoo, the Palaces etc, enjoy our time in this great city, and I will still be teaching:).
I promise to keep posting, but until the next time.
Mind the Gap
