A. Are you watching the Olympics? Why or Why not?

I am not watching the Olympics. I support it completely, but I personally don't enjoy sports, so the Olympics don't really interest me. 

If you have been watching them, what has been the highlight so far?

If you have not been watching them, what have you been doing instead?

I have been spending a lot of time doing homework and studying since it's coming down to the end of the six weeks. I also have been thinking about getting a job because I need money.
Have you ever aspired to be an Olympian? What about in other areas? Have you ever dreamed of some sort of participating in some sort of big event like the Olympics, or Running with the Bulls in Spain, or something like that? If you have tell me about it.

Sports are NOT my thing AT ALL. I am so uncoordinated. I have never aspired to be an Olympian or in any areas like it. I am more into the arts, such as theatre, I love acting.
