Long Time No Write

Man, I haven't written anything in a long long whiles. I've just been so busy. I suppose it's not all that difficult to make time... well, maybe it's more difficult to make opportunities to write. I'm hardly ever in my room, and am usually in a rush to be somewhere else. Like now. I should be headed towards the library. I have my first midterm on monday. (boo).... so on Thursday I took that day to be my last chance of the quarter to party. Well. It really wasn't much of a party, but I had a good time hanging up in Rieber.

I'm getting a little worried, because I haven't practiced Banjo in a while, and the competition is less than a month away. I"m going to start forcing myself to at least 30 minutes a day. I hate it when I have to force myself, bu tlately I've just been so busy, that I'm not setting enough time aside for other important things.

I've been biking a lot too. After the promotion I got, it's about all I do. Now it sucks when I work a shift during which I can't bike... walking is just so inefficient. The whole biking thing is getting easier; I'm starting to develop the muscles I need. All of th etunning I've done this last year didn't really help me out on the muscle-strength field, although it's kept my heart from exploding. But the first day of biking -- man that was painful afterwards. I guess 7 hours of biking is a bit overdoing it on you first shift. Oh well. I'm fine now. I also have never riden a bike intelligently, I might say; I've never used the gears to make riding the most efficient experience possible. I've had to learn so much in the last week! It's ridiculous. I love it. It's giving a challenge to my body and mind and the same time.

I wanted to go sailing today, but I made the right decision to study. Especially because I have work tonight. Oh goodness. Midterms are a pain. I can't wait for summer.

Oh. I've decided to stay up in LA for most of the summer. I'm going to try to get some sort of research opportunity here, or take an EMT course. Being a CSO is way more fun, but I still think I might want to get trained. CSO forever. Being an EMT just seems boring. They most certainly do not have as much fun as we do. Anyways, I'm going to try and convince Professor Phelan to let me help him out with his research. I sounded relatively intelligent at his office hours, so I figure if I keep attending them for the next few weeks, and keep on sounding relatively intelligent... the fact that I'm here over the summer might entice him enough to bring me into his lab. He works with fruit flies. Yup. That might end up being my summer. Haha. Oh, man I want that bad.
