Day 9: Something you're proud of in the past few days

I have no idea.

I've done absolutely nothing of significance in the last few days. I've been so busy with uni work that I've had no time to do anything exciting or worthy of pride. And even then, I can't even be proud of doing a good job on uni work, because I haven't. I haven't been able to motivate myself to do much and tonight was supposed to be my crack-down night. Hah.

So instead of being proud of myself, I'm proud of all of the Australian athletes who competed in the Commonwealth Games and helped us run away with the competition. They weren't all necessarily the most sportsmanly, but they were brilliant and really did our country proud. Bringing home 177 medals, 74 of which were gold, is a fantastic achievement for the team. I know it's not as big as the Olympics and a lot of people didn't care about it, but I did and it's always lovely to see international competition of such a high standard.

It's also nice to see an event not dominated by the Americans or Chinese, where we actually stand a chance :) Good on you, guys!

I love the Commonwealth Games as well. Although they kinda ruined it at the end by trashing the athlete's village xD

But the way we dominated got kinda boring. It's like they weren't up against anyone worthy (no offence to the other countries). Which is why I like the Olympics better - more of a challenge.

But still, congrats to the athletes who did our country proud :)
