I attempted to do this 30 day "meme" BS. First of all I hate the word "meme", and second: I thought it would help me write more, but instead I grew less and less interested about answering the questions and got little value out of it. I hope at least some of the people who read my journal, all 3 of you, gained some insight into my life or at least enjoyed a good laugh. However from now on I'm going to just do what I was doing prior and just write.
I'm afraid to go back to school. If my brain is a muscle that needs exercise, I feel as though I've let it get dull and flabby. I can hardly construct a meaningful sentence these days and I constantly feel as though I'm losing my mind. Okay that sounds a little dramatic but really, I lose my keys as soon as I put them down somewhere-how the hell am I supposed to complete a Master's Degree. End of rant.
I took up mountain biking, and then mountain biking took me down. Seriously. We were doing a trail that I felt completely unprepared for, not to mention that I am riding a "sort of" mountain bike with kind of horrible tires. I was struggling the entire time and should have listened to my instincts that kept telling me to turn around. Well I didn't and I fell and split my elbow mentioned and scraped up the left side of my body. I don't even want to talk about how Katie then had to put my open wound under a running facet and clean out the dirt and gravel. It's been a gross oozing mess for two days and I am very much looking forward to it's imminent healing.
