So I’m back! I landed in Toronto on July 9th around 4:30pm and made it into my bed by about 10:30pm. I didn’t sleep particularly well, but I’m better today than I was on Sunday and I’m sure by the end of this week everything will be completely normal again. I unpacked everything, though I have yet to do laundry and now I can work on getting my home tidied up properly, which it hasn’t been since early June!
I did what (I think) was my last official duty for the COC related to my participation in the International Olympic Academy this morning – a TV interview live on Sun News that was about four minutes long. Since this marks the end, I thought I should sum it all up into one spot for you to find it. I hope you enjoyed following me along on my trip!

I have already said it once or twice, but thank you again to the International Olympic Committee, International Olympic Academy and the Canadian Olympic Committee for this wonderful experience. Another thank you to all of the wonderful people I met at the Academy that I hope to stay in touch with for many years to come and lastly thank you to my family who helped get me to Olympia – lending me suitcases and clothes and driving me to and from the airport! The little things mean the most. :)
Please contact me if you have any questions or want some information on the Academy, Olympism or how you can get more information. If you are shy you can check out olympicschool.ca instead!
