back to my roots

i may love anything with rice and meals that end with a cookie revealing my future. peace signs are my pose of choice in photographs. and i was on the "math counts" team in junior high. but no, despite the years of questioning and the above mentioned facts, i am not chinese.

however, on the eighth of august i get to visit the incredible people of china. george washington is taking twenty five business students to watch the 2008 olympic games in beijing, china, and i am a part of the lucky group.

here are are just a few things i'm looking forward to -

reading this piece of delish lit on the 12 hour plane ride over

a great wall

yummy noodles

the raddest building ever

making peace signs with my peeps

michael phelps shirtless (and in my hotel bed)

usa v. spain

a forbidden city

and of course, cheering on my homeland

peace out dudes

no, ok. i haven't.

for five months i answered the phone with this simple reply, "tiger woods foundation, this is sarah." i sat at my desk diligently working and occasionally looking up to glance at this picture, my boss.



he was pointing at me. his gesture stern, yet loving. telling to me work harder. be the best i could be. i yearned for the day i would shake those strong hands. my supervisor would say, "at the tournament, sarah. you will meet him there."



he was wrong. all of the headlines rubbed it in - tiger out for the rest of the season. tiger will not attend his tournament. tiger woods has season ending knee-surgery. to say i was disappointed would be a gross understatement. i contemplated quiting and taking the picture with me, but i couldn't let him down.



the tourney started today and it is going to be a good one. yes, for the rest of my life i will have to say i worked for the tiger woods foundation, and no, i never met him. but how many people can say that?
