Okay so today I decided to give myself an extra ten minutes of sleep just because I need all that I can get for I am little sick. I got up at eight and saw that Batman had slipped his and my thermo homework under the door because he had copied it the night before. He is loads smarter than I am so I copied some of the problems that he worked on and yeah, by the time I got ready and got my homework all squared away I was running just a tad bit late. I mean I left at like 8:50 and it probably takes me close to ten minutes to bike to class.
So I get on my bike knowing that I should go pretty fast so I shift up to the highest gear. Unfortunately, as I do this, the chain jumps over the gear and gets wrapped around the pedal, which happened one time before my freshman year at Davis. So of course this happens while I am already late so I am like, shit, jump off the bike and then I try to start to put the chain back on the gear. But the problem is, and there is no way for me to describe it so that anyone who reads would understand, that there is this little spike on the pedal that the chain actually gets stuck under such that you can't just put the chain back on the gear, you have to get it over the spike first. But that is no easy task, the little gap in between the spike and the frame is narrower than the chain so you ahve to do some serious tuggage to get that piece of shit loose. And the last time that I had to do it at Davis I bent one of the little links on the chain which caused my bike to like skip when I rode it which was really annoying and then the chain eventually broke in two when I was riding to class one day. So I finally got the chain out, put it back on the gear and then rode off to class and got there probably ten minutes late but no big deal. I was a little toasty inside my sweatshirt for the first twenty minutes but it's all good. He helps me out a lot but sometimes Jonas the Trusty Steed can be a real prick.
So that is my exciting story for the day....which is ricockulously pathetic seeing as how that is not exciting at all but at least my life is not full of drama right now. Although that could always change, but for now, the skies are clear.
Alrighty, this update was not too exciting but at least I did one. I am going to hang out with Amy later and that should be good fun. Good luck to everyone with studying for finals, those nasty whores. Late!
