today sucked. just straight up sucked
i apparently forgot to set my phone alarm last night. luckily i dont have any window treatments because my apartment didnt come with them even though almost every other apartment has them in my building, so the sun woke me up at 8:15, just in time to miss my 8:00. Not really a big deal, I heard, though. Now how to get to class. A few nights ago I went out riding at like midnight on my fixie (with lights, don't worry) and blasted a pothole that I saw in time to pull the front tire over but the back was not so lucky. So there was a slow leak on the back tire which worked fine for like 3 hours. Today it decided to fully crap out and was dunzo this morning when I was going to leave after filling it up like 20 min earlier. Cool. So I took my road bike, which makes me nervous because I have a $20 lock that is probably a piece of cake to break and my bike is right around a grand to replace so not good. Also, I can't lock up my wheels very well and they're quick release so they could easily be taken. Class was fine, the usual. Got out at 1:00 after a meeting where they give us more work to do. Then I went to the local bike shop, Durst, to get a couple new tubes. They don't have the right ones. So I had to go back home and ride my road bike again for my anatomy demo at 2:00. Good demo, maybe the best part of the day. Then right back out to try a different bike store, no luck. Another, no luck. Cool. Home, Jeeves. I tried patching the tube, which I'm pretty sure worked, but in the process of putting the wheel back on, the axle became stripped on the left side. You have to be kidding me. I dont know how that happened because I only loosened the nut to take the wheel off and just tightened it back up to put the wheel back on. But either way now I can't even put the wheel back on without a new axle. I guess that's what I get for buying cheap wheels. Never again. Well, back to MSB MSB (medical science building) for studying and then a review at 5:00. Good review, but then another right after from 6:00-7:00. For a bit it was like the TA was speaking another language. I'm supposed to be able to learn this stuff? Ugh. Looks like my night just filled up. So I headed to the library after, but as hard as I try I just can't keep focused on my stuff. Yesterday I studied from noon to 11 with an hour break for dinner. An hour, that's it. No prob. Today, 20 min of staring at my computer screen seems like an eternity. So I surf the net, look up options for new wheels for my fixie maybe? Maybe a new track bike? I don't know. Eventually 10:00 rolls around and I just have to peace out. Wish I had my fixie. I have found that spending some time outside at the union is pretty nice though. So here I am outside in the cold, which feels great, watching people walking by going out, some girl looking for her purse, a few bikers (I'm jealous), pretty typical. Oh and an amazing picture of Bruce Weber, the head basketball coach, that someone drew in chalk. (pictured below)
I feel like I had something else to say, but now can't remember. Good thing bad days come in one's, cause I know tomorrow will be sweet. So much work to do for tests though. So much work. It just builds up and then all crashes down at one time. And I haven't been able to work out since my 12 mile run Sunday, yea Sunday and haven't seen Jenna or even really been able to talk to her in a few days. I need the weekend. Except all I'll have to do other than run the half is study. Should be good study groups though.
Sorry this post is negative. Just a crappy day. One every week, today was just it.
I'll see ya'll
I'm assuming you're running the distance classic half in Chicago this Sunday? I am too. Nice blog, cool to hear about your adventures in medical school.
