This world is a waterslide away from you that takes you further every day... be cool

Yesterday I went moutnain biking with my stepcousin, Timmy, who's a serious mountain biker. He lives in gwinett, so I don't get to see him much but when he's around, he likes to make me try all his hobbies. Last time he took me to a car show... haha this time it was a little more painful. Anyway, we went up to Heritage Park, and decided to go on the "red Arrow" trail... who knew that one's the hardest trail out there? Obviously not me... Well, it's pretty much all up and down these crazy hills, and the tree roots are bad. It's kinda scary going at top speed down these massively steep hills and then ramping over tree roots. There are a bunch of little waterfalls and streams though that are really pretty. I made Timmy stop for a second so I could climb down this bank where there was kinda a sandy beach-ish area on the side of a stream. I could have stayed there all day - it was SO nice. Anyway, we were going down this one part of the trail that was REALLY REALLY steep, and gravel, so that made it kinda hard. Well I was flying along behind Timmy (who is incredibly hard to keep up with) and he forgot to tell me that you're not supposed to use your left brake because it goes to your front tire. Well, of course, I tried to use my left brake and my back tire lifted off the ground and I literally flipped over my handle bars. I landed on my side in the gravel and slid, so now I have scrapes all down my leg and one on my arm. Also, I think I bruised my shoulder and butt pretty bad... it hurts every time I sit down! Haha not good. Timmy wouldn't let me look at my boo boos. He was like "If you look at them, they'll hurt worse!" So, I got back on my bike and we meet up some runners coming from the opposite direction (how can you run on those trails?!). They looked at me and were like "Oh my god! What happened!?" So of course, I have to look at myself, and then I realize that I'm bleeding all over the place. So yeah... it was definately not a good first-time experience. But I'd most definately go again! It was a lot of fun!

Today was kinda boring, but school almost always is. I have Current Issues with Mitch though! That class is fun... we don't do anything! Haha, big relief, cause I needed an easy class. I now have the perfect schedule, and I don't have Mr. Dallas anymore! Hahaha he is the epitome of an adult nerd. I almost love him because he is so hilarious in a nerd kind of way. But then I remember how unfair and Nazi-ish he is, and I don't love him so much... or even close.
