I feel you.

I've been stressed beyond belief this past week due to finals. Sleep schedule is totally off and when I do sleep, I sleep for like 9 hours because my entire body just hurts. My right knee has been bothering me too, but I've compensated with cleat adjustments. It always 'pops' though. Like everytime I bend it all the way, it cracks, just like the sound when you crack your knuckles. Left doesn't do this. Weird.

Gf and I are having some issues, and I'm right in the middle of finals week so papers and exams are everywhere...

Haven't been on the bike in a few days and I'm going to try to get on the trainer for a bit today just to make myself feel better. I think it'll help my body feel better too.

Wednesday, I get to go home for break. I think I'll have to finish one last paper up over break, but other than that, I should be golden. I'm thinking ~10ish hours of SST and riding every week while I'm at home. It's going to suck, but spring will be so much better because of it.

I really want to go and train in the mountains somewhere (Cali? no idea) over spring break (2 weeks), but I think I'm just going to end up going to virginia beach and racing and training there. I have family there, so it'll be nice and I don't know how logistics will work out for cali (where to stay, etc).

I also have a beard that puts umd's stubble to shame... Egad...
