easily one of the most hectic, ridiculous weeks of my life. two exams, two lab quizzes, a presentation, meetings here and there, little sleep, etc. the ridiculous part was topped off today on my bicycle ride from my 6th period Organic Crop Production class at Fifield to my 7th period Humans, Soils, and Environmental Impact class at McCarty. basically, a pickup truck pulled right into my path and i had no time to stop. so all 6 feet, 172 lbs. of me and whatever my bike weighs (it's light!) go slamming into the side of this pickup truck. i had to have been going about 15-20 mph. the kid gets out of the truck, very apologetic, but i was still like "dude, you have to look around for bikers." it turns out it wasn't even his truck, it was his friend's. i am completely fine by the way, just a scratch and a bruise here, amazingly. even my bike survived this collision with no damage (at least none that i've noticed yet). here is the best part: the truck has a HUGE dent in the side of it. we exchanged information and all that, but basically he knows it's his fault (or at least he better) and he now owes his friend and owner of the truck the money to fix that huge dent. moral of the story: watch out for bikers!
also, it should go without nothing that i am getting trashed tonight and tomorrow night (i'm actually already drinking) and morals are being thrown out the window.
