The only thing noteworthy I have accomplished all year is an epic amount of biking.  My trips on the bike have been getting progressively longer and longer the better the weather got. I'm not sure why I do it, but I think it has something to do with the fact that it gets me out of the house and away from here, if just for a bit. And it really doesn ( Read more... )

Well, another late update, and yet, the only person who does care if I'm let or not doesn't seem to care. But maybe that's a topic for another time. So I've done a bit of traveling in the last two weeks, so I guess that's what I'll be writing about for this entry. Unfortunately, I didn't go to the first concert i was thinking about going to. I didn ( Read more... )

How is it May now? At least the weather is a little better.  Earlier today, I was staring at my computer screen trying to muster up the gumption to write yet another cover letter to apply to yet another job I probably won't get, and I just couldn't make it go. So I decided to screw it and take a bike ride. Didn't know where I was going to go, I ( Read more... )

So last week I wrote about my love of biking, and I made reference to that fact that I used biking to help me keep in shape.  This week, I'm writing about my recent (if you call three years recent) obsession with exercising.  Since my freshman year in college, I have understood the importance of keeping in shape, and I have done activities to help ( Read more... )

Every working day I pass by a couple gas stations, and I can't help but smirk a little to myself as I watch the prices rise.  I should mention that I'm on my bike at the time, so I'm not paying for gas at all! Of course, it would be completely naive to say it doesn't affect me at all, but at least I'm not directly paying for it.  But my secret wish ( Read more... )

Well, I've been here for over a month now, and my life has become routine.  I still don't like this city very much, but I'm gradually exploring more and more of it.  If I had more time before getting this apartment, then I think I would have tried for something a little closer to the Tech because I think I would have liked that area a little better ( Read more... )

It has been three weeks since I left Wisconsin.  When I wrote the last entry, I had only worked about half a week.  Now, I've worked that plus two more weeks, and I've "explored" a little more of what this town has to offer.  So I feel more honest in saying how much I don't like this town.  It is not somewhere I would choose to live.  Maybe I'm not ( Read more... )

This entry is a follow up to the last weeks entry, about my bike crapping out.  Well, I ended up getting a new bike, so let me tell you about this awesome beast.  I went with something a little different this time.  It’s not quite like any other I’ve had, and yet, it’s almost a combination of the two.  It has the skinny wheels of a road bike, ( Read more... )

Well, school has been under way for a few weeks now, and UGH!  This is going to be the hardest semester EVER.  But hey,  two weeks down, only 12 or so more to go!  It would be significantly easier is stuff didn't keep breakdown on me.  The biggest loss I'm feeling right now is for my trustworthy bike.  I have successfully road that sucker into the ( Read more... )

Short update for me today.  Got a lot on my plate for next week.  I've a test in one of my classes, and then I have give a powerpoint presentation in another (just to show that I can do it).  Anyway, this is basically just addendum to last week's entry.  Specifically, it's an update about my new phone.  If you remember, my biggest complaint about ( Read more... )
