  Tuesday August 10, 2004 The Olympic start this weekend and I don’t know if I’m excited or bummed. I’m totally amped to be at the Olympic Training Center during the Olympics, it’s probably the next best place to be after Athens. But at the same time, I’ve never had to work when the Olympics were on. In 2000, I remember vegging in front of the TV with my roommates and watching nearly everything that was on TV.
We don’t even have a TV in our office, nor do I have one in my room. I’m going to have to either hang out in the "rotunda" or in the lounge-if those stupid shooters would ever stop taking over OUR lounge. Who do they think they are? Enough with the meetings already. Go workout or something. Summer, summer, summertime. Time to sit back and unwind. Do you ever wonder why Will Smith dropped the Fresh Prince nickname? If I were a Fresh Princess I would totally keep that nickname. So would his kids be Fresh Dukes and Dutchesses? And you know Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel Air…he’s a UCSD graduate. Marshall College. My friend Matt Payne walked in 2000 and I went to his graduation and the speaker was, you guessed it, Uncle Phil.
It was awesome, people were chanting "Uncle Phil.
Uncle Phil.
" as he came out. I don’t really remember what he talked about, but it was cool none the less. After graduation, I went to PF Chang’s with Matt’s family. The lettuce wraps there are to die for. Now that I think about it, that’s the last time I've been to PF Chang’s, over 4 years ago. And the last time I talked to Matt was in February of 2001.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Did I say that outloud? Please don’t wake me, no don’t shake me, leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping. (For Travis) Red cups are awesome. I’m going to buy stock in Solo, the red cup maker company, because every college student at one point or another buys red cups. Plus they are the "number one plastic cup, plate and bowl producer in the marketplace today". (www.solocup.com) They also have a new product out, "SoloGrips, ergonomically designed, easy to hold cups and plates, so its less likely food and drinks will slip out of hands, which makes for fewer spills" – because everyone hates a party foul!
If I were in charge of the red cup division at Solo, I’d make red cups with different schools logos on them, to help with school spirit. I would also make it so you could have customized red cups. How cool would that be to have a whole stack of cups that said "Sandra" or maybe "USOC Team Interns". This idea’s going to make me a million bucks. I love red cups. You look like gold to me and I'm not too blind to see, you look like gold. Like a drifter I was born to walk alone. Sandra
