The vaingloriousness of the bike paths
Today was the first day that I encountered two of worst nightmares: 1) not completely an assignment when it was due on purpose and 2) Riding my bike on the paths for the first time.
Yes, I'm now officially a college student at UCSB. Procrastination and rebellious bike-riders are us. I must've been hilarious out there today; I was passed by about fifty different people because I was peddling like a granny. I couldn't help it because I was scared shitless. People ride by in a flying fury to get to their classes and I'm just peddling to figure out where the fuck I'm going. It wasn't too bad though, I must say. I feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner because it is so much faster than walking. And I didn't hit any pedestrians, but I did cut off this guy going into IV and nearly splattered both of us along the pavement. I'm pretty sure he had the right of way, too...shit!
And as per the assignment, it wasn't that big of a deal. It was a reading assignment after all. Still, last night I decided to make sleep a priority over my studies for once. Funny thing is, I still didn't get to sleep that early because last night was the unofficial start of the parties. Why didn't I partake of these parties, you ask? Because people are completely out of their minds! and I was tired.
The play is progressing and I have already begun to develop my character. I need to do a shitload of character development this weekend, if I have time between the actual course work I'm doing. Damn you, Quarter system, damn you!
Anyway, that's my report for the moment. Much love.
