generic update
My job this summer has turned out pretty awesome. I like what I do, and the hours are short. Almost too short really, once again there's not a lot to do, and we keep asking for stuff to do. But since they don't always have things for us, and no one is monitoring our hours, we can leave whenever we finish everything. Basically I've been working about 30 hr weeks so far. I don't know if it'll stay like this all summer, but so far its been pretty nice, especially considering some of my friends who are working like 60 hours a week. My friend Emily is doing investment banking and working 100 hour weeks. Fuck that. There's no way in hell I could do that. I can't spend that much time at work, I get depressed.
Somehow I got talked into doing this charity run in Michigan this weekend. It's like a long distance relay, 270 miles over 3 days and a team of 10 people I think are the numbers. Anyways some people I know had a team, but someone dropped out at the last minute so I'm the replacement. Not exactly the most relaxing way to spend a weekend, but I can't say no to something that sounds like an adventure, and also they were kind of in a bind for a teammate, cause doing that thing down a man would be damn near impossible. Plus it should be some good training for RAGBRAI.
Speaking of RAGBRAI, its less than 2 weeks away. I'm pumped, although a little nervous because I'm not where I want to be in my training. I was gonna go this weekend on a long ride, but the tires on my bike here are really low and I couldn't find anyone with a pump. My dad is visiting on wednesday and is gonna bring a pump, but still not riding at all this weekend is putting me behind. I did a 44 mile ride last weekend, that's the longest so far. It went pretty well, but I was sore for the next couple days, so if I had had to get on a bike those days it would've been tough.
In terms of my drinking training I'm doing pretty well though, so that's good. I learned a drinking game called baseball that mixes baseball, beer pong, and flip cup. Its pretty awesome, we'll have to play it sometime in DMI, or maybe we can set it up on RAGBRAI.
Living alone sucks. Its so boring. Our subletter dan gets here on friday, which will break up the monotiny thank god. Although it means I can't walk around naked as much I guess, but its a give and take.
More importantly I can't wait for Sep 1. That's when we start our lease on our place for next year. Not only will it be sweet to live with some of my best friends here, but also we'll have a back yard for grilling out and a front porch for chilling and listening to Cubs games. My apartment this year is alright, but I hate not having a place to just hang outside.
