I got an email the other night from BOCOG: "Fw: int'l volunteers 2nd assignment."
After reading through all the bureaucratic garbage, I found what I was looking for! Mark Welsh- 1st assignment: Triathlon Venue. 2nd Assignment: Field Hockey May 9-13. YIPEE!!
This will get me a few steps closer to the Olympic Green...but not on it! If I ever want to get close to the Bird's Nest or to the Today Show-- I'll have to buy tickets for athletics or gymnastics events!
I received my uniform on Saturday...which means I'll have to wear it...and look like a goof. It's all made by ADIDAS and includes three shirts, two pairs of pants, a jacket, socks, poncho, ADIDAS running shoes (they're really nice), a baseball hat, water bottle and a fanny pack... and yes, I refuse to wear it. (When I wear it for long enough, I'll have someone take a picture for the site). Blackmail anyone??
I have to train with the Triathlon team tomorrow, the 4th and the 14th. With the Field Hockey assignment August 9-13, I'll have stuff to do during the day! The Triathlon events take place on the 18 and 19 of August...then I'm done!
As many of you heard, a group of Mizzou students stood in line to get the last set of Olympic Tickets. They went on sale 9 a.m. Friday...and we headed out to camp out at 6pm Thursday! It would've been a lot of fun, had half a million people not showed up too! Giving up on our ticket dreams, we decided to have a picnic instead. Eric drew up a sign: "Line Starts Here" and had it translated into Mandarin. It attracted SO many people...Chinese people wanted to take pictures with us, children wanted to play with us, international journalists were interviewing us...it was absolutely hilarious!...until the cops showed up!
But to prove we were really there, the London Guardian and a Hong Kong newspaper ran stories on us! Good luck finding me in the Guardian's picture...but I'm on the right side of the Hong Kong Paper.
