Tomorrow marks the beginning of the spring semester. I, however, will not be in class, but at work. Both works, actually. Yet another semester of only Tuesday/Thursday classes.

Somehow, despite a good three weeks off, I still manage to feel...off. Worn down? Might be a better descriptor. Not ready for another semester, that's for damn sure. Fall semesters always seem to take a lot out of me. Yet I always find myself excited for the fall, probably due to mountain bike season.

Speaking of bikes, I've been weak-willed in that department, and havn't ridden at all yet this year. I really just want to go dirt jump, but that won't help me go faster. I need to buckle down and make some sort of half-assed training effort. It was a new years resolution sort of thing.

And on the topic of new years resolution things, I've been doing pretty well. My efforts towards fiscal responsibility have been going pretty well. Stayed inside my weekly budget this week (barely), and the cash only thing is a good call. It's remarkable how easy it is to just blow money on shit with a debit card. Hopefully I'll be able to safe up enough cash to get a downhill bike by this coming fall. I could always finance it, and I probably will, if I can have between one third and one half of the cost in cash, and disposable. It'll be hard though, with the upgrades I'm making with my dirt jump bike. But that's why I have two jobs, and instituted this budget. I had to go headfirst into such a damn expensive hobby...

Also on the new years resolution-esque front, I've been cooking more. And eating more veggies. I completely cut beef out of my diet, and have been trying to use more fresh vegetables as opposed to canned, and have been eating salad and such. It's definitely more comforting, I feel like I'm eating a real meal, like back at my parents house.

And now time to throw my clothes in the dryer and get to bed, so I'll wake up on time and can make lunch before work tomorrow.
