Olympics in London :) or :(

I was here at the graduate center in Trent Park and there were two other people in the room. We started chatting about the Anglo-French Olympic rivalry and it turned out that both are not in favour of the idea of hosting the Olympics at all. They are English by the way. They mentioned a few things about squandering a lot of money that would be best spent otherwise and crowding the city even more. Then minutes later someone called and told one of them the result. They were both upset. But I am sure there are a lot of happy people out there. As for me, I started thinking after that: can I actually extend my thesis 4 more years so I can be here in 2012? :)) Imagine, 4 more years of studying 'it'.. mmm.. ok, may be I can finish my thesis on time and then do something else for 4 years :))

p.s.
yesterday I was soaked in the rain on my way home, yes, again. But you know what? I am used to it now. I am also used to forgetting my umbrella on cloudy days. I just can't stop wondering: where did summer go?
